Abstract
A heel holder has a bearing block on which a binding housing biased by an opening spring and a control lever biased by an adjustable locking spring are supported for movement about two transverse axles. A control member is associated with the control lever and, in the downhill skiing position of the heel holder, is held by a release lever. In one preferred embodiment, the control member is a crankshaft which is rotated during a voluntary release. In a second preferred embodiment, the release lever is supported on the bearing block on the axle of the binding housing, and it has two legs which carry hook-shaped projections and are arranged within the sidewalls of the bearing block.
