ABSTRACT:
A step-in side-clamp safety ski release system includes an over-center mechanism having a lever member pivotally coupled intermediate its ends to a connecting member. When the lever member is pivoted in a first direction, it slidably engages a housing for moving the lever member and connecting member against a spring force for opening a pair of side-clamping members. Pivoting of the lever member in an opposite direction disengages the lever member from the housing, permitting the lever member and connecting member to move with the spring force for closing the side-clamp members. A means for receiving the tip of a ski pole is provided to pivot the lever member in a first direction to open the clamping members; means are also provided for receiving the heel of a ski boot to pivot the lever member in a second direction to close the clamping members.
