ABSTRACT:
A heel holder for release ski bindings having a hold-down device pivotally secured to a base plate slidably mounted on a guide rail fixedly secured to the upper surface of the ski. The hold-down device has an internal cam surface thereon which is engaged by a locking member urged into engagement with the cam surface by a release spring. The force generated by the release spring is adjustable to a desired amount to hold the ski boot onto the ski with the desired amount of yieldable force. A manually operated release mechanism is provided for effecting a release of the ski boot from the ski without necessitating a compression of the release spring. The release mechanism includes a lever pivotally supported on the base plate and effects a pivotal movement of a locking pawl to move same out of engagement with a spring fork member also pivotally secured to the base plate about the same pivot axle as is the hold-down device. The locking pawl is resiliently urged into the locking position by a thrust spring separate from the release spring. The release mechanism is operable either by an upward or downward movement applied to the release lever.
