Abstract

Abstract A boot heel holding member of a ski safety binding is pivotally mounted and urged by a spring either downwardly towards an operative boot holding position, or upwardly towards an inoperative boot releasing position. A second pivotally mounted member can be releasably locked in a fixed position by adjustable locking means such as a spring-urged ball engaging in a recess. One-direction movement means act between the holding and second members so that when the second member is locked in position the holding member can move towards the operative position under the action of the spring, whilst for movement of the first member towards the inoperative position the holding member is angularly locked with the second member. The binding can thus automatically adapt to different heel thickness and can accomodate a layer of snow the maximum thickness of which is independent of the spring strength. The one-direction movement means can be a pawl cooperating with a locking surface or any free-wheel mechanism.
