ABSTRACT:
A sideways releasable jaw of a ski binding for holding one end of the ski boot (9) has a binding housing (11) in which a release spring (14) is arranged The release spring (14) extends substantially in the longitudinal direction of the ski and is braced at one end against the binding housing (11). At its other end it exerts a release force with a substantial component in the longitudinal direction of the ski pointing away from the ski boot (9) on a sole clamp (22) arranged towards the ski boot (9). On exceeding a predetermined sideways force exerted by the ski boot (9) the sole clamp (22) can pivot sideways about a substantially upright pivotal axis and releases the ski boot (9). In so doing the release spring exerts a downwardly directed force component on the sole clamp which is vertically displaceably arranged on the binding housing (11) for movement along an upright sliding guide. Thus the sole clamp (22) is pressed against the upper side of the sole (29) of the ski boot. The sliding guide (25, 26) has at least two sections (25', 26', 25", 26") which are differentially inclined relative to the line of action (27) of the release spring force so that an instantaneous center of rotation M is formed which is arranged at a distance a above the line of action (27) of the release spring force.
