ABSTRACT:
A heel-release binding pivotally secured to a base plate which is in turn slidable on a set of rails fixedly secured to the upper surface of a ski along the longitudinal axis of the ski. A ski brake is pivotally secured to the base plate and is movable therewith. The axles supporting the ski brake for pivotal movement extend inwardly of the base plate. Notches are provided in each of the rails on the ski to facilitate the movement of the base plate longitudinally of the ski. A support flange is provided on the heel-release binding and is positioned to be engaged by the holding arms of the ski brake only when the holding arms are urged from the upright braking position toward the retracted downhill position. The holding arms are readily pivotal between the retracted position and the braking position without necessarily requiring a pivotal movement of the heel-release binding when the ski boot is not engaged with the heel-release binding.
