ABSTRACT:
A binding assembly for releasably retaining an end of a boot on a ski. The binding assembly includes a binding having wings which, preferably, are independently movable, and a laterally movable support plate for at least the end of the boot. Preferably responsive to movement of the wings are abutments for limiting the lateral extend of movement of the plate. An engagement surface on the lower surface of the plate is mounted for cooperation with a corresponding surface adapted to be mounted fixed to the ski for facilitating lateral movement of the plate under load. These surfaces are preferably in the shape of a "W" and an inverted "W" in transverse cross-section, whose apices form an area of contact when the plate is aligned on the ski. No direct or indirect linkage is provided between the plate and the elements of the binding during release, however, and the plate is recentered after release in response to the return of the wings to their retention position.
