Abstract
A safety ski binding has a connecting member which can releasably engage the ski shoe during chair-lift travel to prevent loss of the ski should the ski binding inadvertently release. The connecting member is U-shaped, has its bight pivotally supported on the ski binding, and has two legs which converge inwardly toward each other. The free ends of the legs are bent inwardly and extend toward each other. A stepping plate is provided below the ski shoe sole and aligned receiving openings are provided on opposite sides of the shoe sole and the stepping plate. The connecting member is pivotal about its bight between an engaged position and a disengaged position in which the free ends of the legs are respectively disposed in the receiving openings in the ski shoe sole and the stepping plate.
