Abstract
Safety ski binding apparatus including a ski plate fixedly securable to a ski, a boot plate detachably securable to a ski boot by way of securing means, resilient connecting means connecting the ski and boot plates to one another while permitting relative movement of said plates about a plurality of mutually perpendicular axes, and signal means interposed for producing a single signal representative of relative movement of the plates, which signal effects release of the ski boot from the boot plate in response to a critical predetermined movement of said plates relative to one another.

Safety ski binding apparatus comprising:
- a first plate fixedly securable to a ski,
- a second plate spaced from said first plate,
- resilient connecting means connecting said first and second plates to one another while permitting movement of said second plate relative to said first plate about at least one vertical and at least one horizontal axis against the force of resilient members of said resilient connecting means,
- ski boot securing means for releasably securing a ski boot to said second plate, said securing means including means responsive to a release signal for effecting an automatic release of said ski boot from said second plate,
- and release signal generating means for generating a release signal to release said securing means in direct response to predetermined relative movement of said first and second plates with respect to one another.
Safety ski binding in accordance with calim 13, wherein an upper lever of the toggle lever system has an extension with bolts which is configured such that after opening it holds the control lever in its opening position.
