Abstract
A safety ski binding has a support member supported for pivotal movement about a vertical axis, and a sole holder is supported on the support member for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis. A lever supported on the support member for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis has a first locking element engageable with a second locking element on the rear of the sole holder and has a control surface on its side opposite the first locking element. A housing for a release spring is supported on the support member for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis and has a sliding element which the release spring urges against the control surface on the lever. A centering spring cooperable with the support member and housing pivotally urges the housing to a position in which the sliding member is engaging the control surface of the lever. A second set of locking elements yieldably resists pivotal movement of the support member.
