Abstract
A safety ski binding comprises a releasable front jaw (11) engaging one end of the ski boot (15) and a heel jaw (12) which engages a second end of the ski boot (15). A heel jaw housing (16) is mounted longitudinally displaceably in longitudinal guides (13) affixed to the ski. Preferably, there is at least some vertical and horizontal play between heel jaw housing (16) and longitudinal guides (13). Heel jaw housing (16) is urged by at least one thrust spring (14) against the ski boot (15) which bears on the one side on heel jaw housing (16) and on the other side on a longitudinally adjustable lock member (18) which is also affixed to the ski. Between the end of the thrust spring (14) bearing on the lock member (18) and the lock member (18), a force-resolving means (20), which resolves a part of the longitudinal force (F) of the thrust spring (14) into two opposite spreading forces (S), is disposed. Spreading forces (S) act on lock member (18) in the direction of the ski (21) and on heel jaw housing (16) in the direction away from the ski.
