Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
236 words
A safety ski binding device comprising: a casing having laterally spaced opposed side walls; a boot hold-down member pivotally mounted on said casing for movement between a boot holding-down position and a boot-releasing position; retaining means pivotally mounted on said side walls for pivotal movement between a first position wherein said retaining means engages a cooperating part of the boot hold-down member to retain the holddown member in said boot holding-down position and a second position wherein said retaining means disengages said part of said boot hold-down member and frees the boot hold-down member to pivot to and from said boot-releasing position; spring means in said casing for urging said retaining means towards the first position; a pair of generally transversely aligned shafts each passing through an aperture in each of said side walls and through said retaining means; a stirrup piece mounted on the exterior of said side walls for pivotal movement about said shafts; means mounting said shafts for movement between corresponding first and second positions relative to said aperture when said retaining means moves between its first and second positions; at least one stop member on said side walls engageable with said stirrup piece; and means mounting said stirrup piece for manual movement into engagement with said stop member followed by pivotal movement of said stirrup piece about said stop member to move said shafts from their first position to their second position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
