ABSTRACT:
A safety ski binding and a method of laterally releasing the boot. The binding includes a jaw holding one end of the boot and adapted to laterally pivot, and a support fixed to the ski. The support forms two downwardly converging lines of support around which the jaw pivots. In one embodiment, the support comprises two projections positioned symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal and vertical plane of symmetry of the binding, and a third projection, below the first two projections which is positioned in the vertical and longitudinal plane of symmetry of the binding. Corresponding grooves on the jaw are biased to engage these projections by an elastic mechanism. Alternatively, the lines of support are formed by grooves on the support which engage corresponding projections on the jaw. In another embodiment, the projections and grooves are replaced by V-shaped ribs and grooves. These embodiments permit the binding to compensate for frictional forces which arise when the binding is vertically biased during lateral release.
