Abstract
The invention relates to a retention element for retaining a boot on a ski, including a retention jaw, the jaw being carried by a body, including furthermore a compensation mechanism piloted by an activation element and adapted to lower the return force developed by the spring on the jaw in response to the downward support force exerted by a support plate whose movable support zone rests on the activation element of the compensation mechanism. The support plate has on both sides of the support zone with the activation element two carrying zones from bottom to top of the plate against the plate, which define with at least one carrying zone positioned on the rear of the plate two preferred rocking lines of the plate relative to the plate around which the support plate can rock under the effect of the variations of the support force of the boot.
