ABSTRACT:
A tightening device for the heel portion of a safety ski binding comprises a ski boot holding member which includes a sole holder and a closing pedal positioned between arms extending from upright shoulders connected to a turntable attachable to a ski. A support member with one of its ends pivotally attached to the bottom of the holding member has a hook on its free end, and when a ski on which the binding is mounted is to be transported, the support member can be pivoted from a holding member supporting position in which its free end rests on an upper surface associated with the ski, to a position in which the hook engages a projecting surface forming part of the turntable, or of a bearing surface associated therewith. The binding components are thus locked in a tightened position, eliminating movement therebetween. The device can be unlocked by rotating the turntable slightly in either direction, bringing the hook into contact with a disengaging ramp surface associated with the device, which lifts the hook free of the projecting surface, thereby allowing a torsion spring on the support member to move the support member back into a vertical holding member supporting position.
