Safety binding for a ski boot, which has a jaw having two arms () which are independent so as to open in an opposite manner to one another when the boot is put on and are capable of retaining the boot vertically via its projecting sole () the jaw being able to pivot laterally counter to the action of a return spring. The arms () bear on the upper () of the boot, while the sole () bears on front-bearing means () which are located either on the arms or on the base (). This binding adapts automatically to the boot.

Safety binding with purchase on the upper

Jaw-type binding consisting of two arms (5, 6) which are mounted in order to pivot independently and forming a lever acting on the end of a rod (12), the other end of which is connected to a stop (14) which is secured to the rod and is retained by a spring (16) whose preload can be adjusted by moving the stop, on which there is an index (15) cooperating with a graduation (22) on a plate (20). The front end of this plate bears elastically (24, 25) against the body (3) of the binding, so as to follow movement of the rod when the boot is engaged, in such a way that the display of the preload of the spring is not modified by the engagement of the boot.
