ABSTRACT:
A safety binding for releasably holding a boot to a ski which increases its release threshold in the event of a shock. The binding includes a maintenance element for releasably holding a boot on a ski, a device for biasing the maintenance element against release of the boot, and a non-electronic device for selectively increasing the bias of the maintenance element against release of the boot in response to a shock to the leg. The non-electronic device includes an auxiliary mechanical abutment attached to the ski. The abutment includes an inertial control device adapted to move from a rest position to an operating position in response to a shock. In the rest position, the auxiliary mechanical abutment has no effect on the release threshold of the maintenance element. In the operating position, the inertial control device biases the abutment against rotation. Because the abutment is connected to the maintenance element by a linkage element, the release threshold of the maintenance element is increased in the event of a shock.
