ABSTRACT:
A toe piece for holding a ski-boot in a safety ski binding, which toe piece is pivotable against a biasing force when excessive side forces occur. The toe piece includes a base plate and a pair of elongated, generally parallel side members, each of which is pivotally mounted at one end of the base plate. A coupling member pivotally connects the other ends of the side members to each other to form a linkage. The linkage is laterally movable relative to the base plate about the pivotally mounted ends of the side members. An assembly for centering the linkage is provided and includes a centering element, a tension spring acting on the centering element for biasing the element in a direction generally along the axis of the toe piece, a pair of locating pins in operative engagement with the centering element for limiting movement of the element in response to the tension spring and for centering the element relative to the toe piece, and a pin on the coupling member in operative engagement with the centering element to pivot the centering element about one locating pin when the linkage moves to one side of the toe piece and about the other locating pin when the linkage moves to the other side of the toe piece. The centering element is operable under influence of the tension means to return the linkage to a central position when no side forces are exerted thereon.
