Abstract A safety attachment for a ski for the heel of a shoe having a fixed baseplate and a pivoting element mounted on the plate for the heel attachment. The element is a metallic plate bent in the form of a U whose branches are directed towards the rear with each of them having two spaced notches aligned in pairs. A pivoting control lever has a transverse axis provided with rollers and a compression spring applies said rollers elastically into one of said pairs of notches according to the position of the pivoting element. A casing encloses the pivoting element and the control lever with two lateral sides between which are fixed the axes of the pivoting element and the lever. Means for displacing the casing with relation to the fixed base plate comprises a guide rod mounted on one hand in an opening at the back of the casing and on the other hand in a boring provided in the transverse axis. An endless screw wheel is mounted upon a channelled portion of the rod cooperating with a rack integral with the baseplate. A compression spring is located between the transverse axis and the wheel for urging the casing forwardly toward the heel of the shoe.
A safety attachment for a ski for the heel of a shoe comprising a fixed baseplaTe, a pivoting element pivotally mounted about a transverse axes on said plate for the heel attachment formed by a metallic plate bent in the form of a U whose branches directed towards the rear each having two spaced notches aligned in pairs, a pivoting control lever pivotable about a first transverse axis, a second transverse axis on said lever provided with rollers engageable with said pairs of notches, a compression spring urging said rollers elastically into one of said pairs of notches according to the position of said pivoting element, a casing enclosing said pivoting element and said control lever having two lateral sides between which are fixed said transverse axis of said pivoting element and said first transverse axis of said lever and means for displacing said casing with relation to said fixed baseplate.
