ABSTRACT:
A ski binding includes a step-in lever or latch for releasably clamping a ski boot to a sole plate. The latch is pivotally mounted on the bight of a U-shaped bail having ends pivoted within the sole plate. As the ski boot is stepped downwardly, the latch is rotated and translated upwardly by camming action of an arcuate undersurface eccentrically located with respect to the bight. A wedge surface interconnecting the arcuate undersurface and an opposed surface frictionally engages the ski boot and continues pivoting of the latch until an opposed latching surface moves from one side of the bail to the other in order to provide an over-center toggle action to cause the latching surface to overlie the ski boot heel extension.
