ABSTRACT:
A ski binding having a boot attachment member connected to a ski mounting means by tensioned cables provides two modes of angular displacement, one mode of vertical displacement, and a safety release mode. The tensioned cables lead from guide means in one member to anchor points angularly spaced around a pivot means, the anchor points and the corresponding guide means being radially spaced from the circumference of the pivot means so that each tensioned cable leads in a straight line from its anchor point to its guide means throughout a predetermined angular displacement sector of the boot attachment member with respect to the ski mounting means. In this initial angular displacement sector, the resisting counter-torque is substantially constant. Subsequently, counter-torque increases with further angular displacement until safety release of the skier's boot from the boot attachment member occurs. A safety release device includes a heel clamp having a passageway adapted to receive an enlarged end of a cable connected to the boot attachment member. A locking pin fits slidably into a hole transversely intersecting the passageway and is adapted to be pulled out of interfering engagement with the enlarged end of the connecting cable, either manually by the skier or automatically in response to predetermined extension of the tensioned cables.
