ABSTRACT:
A binding for releasably securing an end of a ski boot to a ski including a body having a jaw for engaging a portion of the end of the boot, wherein the jaw includes a pair of wings mounted for lateral movement from an engagement position to a release position in response to the application of a release threshold force of a predetermined magnitude laterally against the jaw. The body is further mounted for movement in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lateral movement. An energization device is included for biasing the jaw toward the engagement position, against which the threshold force is applied to move the jaw from the engagement position to the release position. The binding further includes an assembly responsive to lateral movement of the end of said boot for applying a force against the energization device. The assembly is responsive to non-lateral movement of the end of the boot for applying a force against the energization device, wherein for a given increment of movement of the energization device by non-lateral movement of the end of the boot, the amount by which the lateral movement of the end of the boot is required for movement of the jaw to the release position is reduced by a substantially corresponding increment.
