ABSTRACT:
A step-in side-clamp safety ski release system is described. In the system there is provided a first assembly for mounting to the sole of a ski boot and a second assembly for mounting to the upper surface of a ski. One of the first and second assemblies comprises a plate member and the other of the first and second assemblies comprises a pair of inwardly directed facing protuberances for overlaying the plate member in a releasable engagement. In the binding there is also provided a movable overcenter mechanism. The overcenter mechanism is provided with a resilient member for providing a spring force which is movable between a clamping position for releasably, resiliently clamping the plate member and the protuberances together, and an unclamping position for voluntarily separating the plate member and the protuberances. For stepping into the ski release system with the plate member when the overcenter mechanism is in its clamping position, there is provided a recess in each of the protuberances for slidably receiving the plate member and more particularly for slidably receiving a pair of tip members extending from the lateral corners of the plate member.
