ABSTRACT:
A ski binding including a body having a jaw for retaining a boot upon a ski. The binding includes an energization mechanism for elastically biasing the jaw toward a retention position and for enabling the jaw to move to a release position in response to a force being exerted by the boot greater than a release threshold force. The energization mechanism includes a spring and an adjustment device functionally associated with the spring, the adjustment device including an adjustment screw for adjusting the amount of force by which the energization mechanism biases the jaw, thereby affecting the value of the release threshold force. The adjustment screw extends along an axis which is distinct from the axis of the spring, whereby the head of the adjustment screw recessed within the body of the binding and is thereby positioned in a manner to protect it from being inadvertently hit and thereby inadvertently moved from a predetermined setting. Additionally, the configuration of the adjustment screw and spring of the binding reduces the somewhat longitudinal cumbersomeness that it otherwise would have.
