ABSTRACT:
A ski binding adapted to releasably hold the front of a ski boot on a ski. The front of the boot includes front-end zone spaced from the lateral edges of the boot. The binding includes a jaw, a support, and a support zone on the jaw. The jaw is adapted to hold the front of the boot and adapted to laterally pivot in response to pivoting of the boot. The support, which is mounted on the ski, includes two upwardly converging lines of support which converge at a convergence point. The jaw is adapted to laterally pivot around either one of these upwardly converging lines of support. The support zone which is positioned on the jaw supports the front-end zone of the boot when the boot is held by the jaw. The median vertical height of the support zone is substantially at the same vertical height as the convergence point. As a result, when the boot experiences a torsional force and a frontward force on the boot, the boot laterally pivots and the pressure of the front of the boot against the support zone does not substantially increase the torque of the boot in the direction in which the boot is already pivoting due to the torsional force.
