ABSTRACT:
A release setting indicating device for use in a ski safety binding which utilizes two concentric coil springs to preload the release mechanism. The inner and outer coil springs are respectively associated with the sideways and upward release mechanisms of a diagonal release binding and are provided with independently adjustable abutments at their ends remote from the sole clamp. A tube surrounds the inner coil spring with a certain degree of sideways clearance and has a projection which extends towards the sole clamp beyond the end of the outer coil spring. This projection carries an indicator member which is visible through a window provided in the binding housing. The tube is connected via a radially inwardly directed flange to the inner coil spring via the adjustable abutment so that the indicator member is axially displaced to show the release setting of the spring on adjustment of the abutment. The projection is conveniently a sliding fit in a recess in the housing and simultaneously prevents torque being applied to the inner coil spring from its associated adjustable abutment. An indicating device is also provided for the outer coil spring and comprises a second window in the binding housing through which the position of the adjustable abutment associated with the outer coil spring can be viewed.
