ABSTRACT:
The releasing plate which is carried for lateral pivotal motion by a pivot in secured to the ski and which is releasably retained in its skiing position by releasing means is comprised of two members which are adapted to be relatively slidable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the releasing plate. The rear plate member which is supported for pivotal movement by means of said pivot pin attached to the ski has its rear end provided with automatic heel holding means adapted to be released upon the skier falling in a forward direction, whereas the front plate member carries a ski boot sole holder. The front plate member is connected to a sliding member which is slidably guided in said rear plate member, said slide member being urged towards the front end of the ski by means of compression springs. Said front plate member is adapted to be pivoted upwardly under the influence of a coiled spring about a pivot axle extending at right angles to the longitudinal axis of said releasing plate as well as the ski. Should the releasing plate be released for lateral pivoting by said releasing means during a torsional fall of the skier, the front plate member is moved forwardly under the influence of said compression springs and is pivoted upwardly in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 by said coiled spring. After the ski boot has been detached from the releasing plate, the releasing plate is automatically restored to its skiing position by a spring which is adapted to be tensioned upon the releasing plate being pivoted in a lateral direction. The restoration of the releasing plate will not be impeded by the upwardly pivoted front plate member since this member extends above said releasing means.
