ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a release type ski binding comprising a heel retainer means and a toe retainer means between which a release plate or a ski boot sole extends, the toe retainer means having connected thereto a foot plate extending under the boot sole at least as far as the toe ball portion of the ski boot sole and, when a release movement sidewardly off the running position against the force of a sideways release means provided on the ski takes place, the release plate or the ski boot sole, respectively, being first held against forward movement by a support means and therefore being only pivotable sideward about a pivot point disposed in the heel area, and the foot plate being adapted to slide away from the heel retainer means in the longitudinal direction of the ski when an elastic range has been exceeded, and further comprising a friction-reducing rest means for the pivot motion. Under particular tumbling conditions different reaction forces occur in the ball area of the ski boot and impede the release of the ski boot. Different oriented reaction forces are prevented by the fact that exclusively the foot plate is directly supported by the rest means with a view to the pivoting and sliding motions.
