Abstract
The binding comprises a baseplate (1) intended to be fixed to the ski by screws (8). This is fitted with a detachable brake (6), mounted on the baseplate by a base (5) held on the baseplate by hooking (16, 17) and by a rotary assembly element. In the region of the brake base (5), the screws (8) for securing the baseplate (1) to the ski bear exclusively on the baseplate, and the base (5) has openings (12) making it possible to access the screws (8) using a screwdriver. The ski binding may be sold fully preequipped, and it can be mounted very quickly on a ski without it being necessary to remove the brake beforehand. When sharpening the edges, the brake can be removed without compromising the securing of the binding to the ski.
