Abstract
A safety binding for a ski boot having a sole clamp divided into two sole clamps ( ) each mounted pivoting about a particular more or less vertical axis. The sole clamps ( ) form two levers of a first type with two diverging arms designed to retain the boot laterally and two substantially converging arms perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Each sole clamp is provided with a descending arm ( ) which bears against two adjacent points on the end of a piston ( ). The piston is axially mounted in the body ( ) of the binding and extends beneath the boot. A spring is biased against the piston. The descending arms ( ) simultaneously control the elastic tilting of the sole clamp in a vertical plane.
