Abstract
The safety binding for a ski boot comprises a retaining element for one end of the boot mounted to pivot about links hinged in relation to the ski; a first system of locks consisting of a system of ramps and stops, and a second lock consisting of a second system of ramps and stops which temporarily prevent the retaining element from pivoting, forcing it to move against the action of a resilient element. The second system of locks prevents the binding from releasing itself as a result of an inadvertent impact.
Claims16
A safety binding for a ski boot designed to retain one of the ends of the boot and comprising:
- a. two lateral arms extending along each side of the boot and hinged at one end thereof, in relation to the ski, about a first pivoting means having a first pivoting axis parallel with the plane of the ski;
- b. a retaining element, pivotally mounted in relation to a second pivoting means uniting the other ends of said lateral arms;
- said second pivoting means having a second pivoting axis parallel with the plane of the ski;
- said retaining element comprising jaw means for holding the boot and being actuated by a resilient element;
- c. first locking means for temporarily interacting the three following elements:
- the boot, the lateral arms and the retaining elements, in relative motion against the action of said resilient element;
- said first locking means comprising a ramp and a stop temporarily interposed between two of said three elements in relative motion;
- and
- d. second locking means for preventing temporarily said retaining element from pivoting, said second locking means comprising a ramp and a stop temporarily interposed between two of the following three elements in relative motion:
- the boot, the lateral arms and the releasing element.
