Abstract
A ski boot clamping device comprises a ski clamp mounting plate which has an end with a raised portion forming a hook. The boot clamp has a first portion which is adapted to extend across the ski for engagement with the rear end of the boot and which has a skirt which has an engagement end which is engageable behind the plate raised portion with the hook. The boot clamp also has a second portion which is rotatably mounted in a cylindrical formation on the side of the ski and it is biased by a spring so that when the first portion becomes released from the boot, the first portion is rotated by rotation of the second portion at least over 180.degree. so that it extends downwardly into engagement with the snow so as to hold the ski against movement.
Claims6
A ski boot clamping device, comprising a ski clamp mounting plate having an end with a portion forming a hook, a boot clamp having a first arm portion adapted to extend across the ski for engagement with one end of the boot and having a skirt portion with an engagement end engageable behind said plate raised portion with said hook, said boot clamp having a second arm portion adapted to extend along said ski, means associated with said plate for rotatably supporting said second arm portion so as to permit rotation thereof and pivoting of said first arm portion between a first boot clamping position extending transversely of said ski and a second position in which it is released from the boot and rotated beyond 180.degree. from the first position to extend downwardly into engagement with the snow so as to hold the ski against movement, and a torsion spring connected to said second arm portion and biasing it forwardly against the ski-boot but permitting rearward movement of said second arm portion with said first arm portion to release said engagement end from said hook and to cause said spring to rotate said first arm portion with said second arm portion to said second position.
