Abstract
A binding comprising a first part ( ) integral with a shoe which is fastened to a second part ( ) integral with the slideboard. The second part comprises, at the front, a tilting jaw ( ) coming to bear on the vertical bearing surfaces ( ) and against a front bearing surface ( ) of the first part and, at the rear, a stirrup ( ) mounted pivotably about a vertical axis by means of a second stirrup ( ) and tilting about a horizontal axis. The arms of this stirrup are in the form of a hook ( ) coming to bear on a pair of lateral pegs ( ) of the shoe. The jaw and the stirrup bear on slides ( ), between which compression springs are mounted. This binding preserves the independence of the torsion and forward-fall release assembly, and it is virtually insensitive to the changes to the exposed parts of the shoe during travel without a binding.
