ABSTRACT:
The apparatus consists of two plates, attached together at their ends by a pivot pin with a wing nut on it. The plates can be rotated about this central pivot and the resistance to rotation can be controlled by the user by tightening or losening the pivot pin. One end of this combination of plates is attached to the skiers shoe, the other end of the pair of plates has a semicircular area cut away, the resulting curving arch fitting a rod vertically attached to the ski. In use, as the skiers heel rises and falls, the combined plates slide up and down on the rod allowing vertical movement but preventing lateral movement. In the event of an accident and a rotation of the ski the plates rotate over each other and disconnect from the rod thereby preventing a twist and injury of the skier's leg. The amount of force required before the plates disconnect from the rod is adjustable by the user.
