ABSTRACT:
A safety binding for releasably holding the toe of a skier's boot to the top of a ski having a longitudinally extending median plane includes a base adapted to be attached to the top of the ski, and a clamping device mounted on the base for movement between a clamping position in which the toe of the boot is clamped to the ski and an unclamping position in which the toe of the boot is released from the ski. An actuator is provided for moving the clamp from its clamping position towards its unclamping position in response to up-and-down pivotal movement of the toe of the boot about an axis perpendicular to the median plane, or side-to-side pivotal movement of the toe of the boot about an axis perpendicular to the top of the ski. A spring-biased force transmission element is provided; and an interconnection between the force transmission element and the clamp is constructed and arranged to effect displacement of the force transmission element against the bias of the spring in response to either side-to-side pivotal movement of the toe of the boot or up-and-down movement of the toe of the boot, or combinations thereof.
