ABSTRACT:
A ski binding permitting rapid and easy attachment of skis to ski boots while also permitting sure, reliable disengagement of the skis from the ski boots upon application of a pre-set amount of twisting force, thereby minimizing the risk of injury to the skier in the event the skier falls. A first assembly is attached to each ski and includes a housing having a cam positioned therein and rotatable between a hook-retaining position and a hook-releasing position, a first bias device for inhibiting rotation of the cam from the hook-retaining position to the hook releasing position, and a second bias device for retaining a hook within the cam. A second assembly is provided to attach to the skier's boots, and the first and second assemblies are releasably coupled together by a hook. In one embodiment, the second assembly includes a housing attached to the ski boot and having a slot for receipt of the hook, a movable pin to retain the hook in the housing, and a lever for controlling movement of the pin. In a second embodiment, the second assembly includes a plate having the hook attached thereto and means for fastening the plate to the ski boot.
