ABSTRACT:
A ski safety binding of the type in which a sole clamp is pivotally mounted about a transverse pivot axis on a base plate and is retained in a closed position for clamping a ski boot by means of a spring loaded latch device. During safety release the sole clamp is able to pivot upwardly about the transverse axis to overcome the latching force. To allow the sole clamp to be readily opened by hand a pivotable hand opening lever is provided for relieving the spring loading of the latch device.
The latch device features a latch projection carried at one end of a pivoted latch lever which is spring loaded by a coil spring carried by the hand opening lever. The force of the spring is transmitted to the latch lever via a bar-like extension of a spring abutment which is displaceably arranged relative to the hand opening lever and which is pivotally connected to the latch lever about a further transverse pivot axis which defines the pivot axis for the hand opening lever. The force of the latch spring is reacted by a second latch device which constrains the position of the hand opening lever relative to the latch lever. On disengaging the second latch device by pulling the hand opening lever upwardly a sufficient mechanical advantage is available to readily overcome the force of the latch spring and the hand opening lever is free to move in a direction such that the force of the latch spring is no longer applied to the latch lever.
