Adjustable base for a ski binding, comprising a rail (2) for mounting on a ski, a row of teeth (5) extending parallel to the axis of the rail, a plate (3), for carrying a ski-binding element, mounted slidably on the rail and carrying a toothed latch (11), that can be displaced transversely to the rail, for engaging in the teeth of the row of teeth in order to immobilize the plate on the rail through the action of a knuckle-joint mechanism. The teeth (5) of the row of teeth extend transversely to the rail, occupying approximately half the width of the rail, and the latch (11) includes a number of teeth that is greater than two and advantageously of a length substantially equal to the width of the row of teeth (5), and it is displaceable from one side of the rail to the other.

The base as claimed in claim 1, wherein the row of teeth (5) is formed on a plate integral with the rail or with a rack that can be entrained by a pinion.8. The base as claimed in claim 7, wherein said plate (3) and the latch (11) are made from a molded synthetic material.9. A longitudinally adjustable base for a ski binding mountable on a ski, the ski having a top surface defined by a ski width dimension and a ski length dimension extending along a longitudinal axis of the ski, the base comprising:(a) a rail (2) for mounting on the ski, the rail slidable along the base and defined by a rail width dimension, a rail thickness dimension, and a longitudinal length, in which the rail width dimension is much greater than the rail thickness dimension, the rail width dimension extending parallel to the ski width dimension and the rail thickness dimension extending perpendicular to the top surface of the ski, when mounted on the ski, (b) a plate (3) disposed within the rail, the plate comprising a row of small teeth (5) having an operative surface extending in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the plate and disposed along the longitudinal length, the teeth having a pitch, the pitch being much smaller than the width of the teeth, and (c) a latch (11) having small teeth having an operative surface extending in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the plate, which selectively mate with the small teeth (5) of the plate, and (d) an actuation mechanism capable of selectively moving the latch (11) in and out of engagement with the plate, so as to block and respectively unblock relative movement between the plate and the latch.
