Abstract
The boot is designed to be attached to a ski-boot safety binding and comprises a boot-retaining element located on one of the sides of the ski; one of the ends of the sole of the boot comprises a recess to allow the retaining element to pass under the sole of the boot when the latter pivots; a recess prevents the boot from becoming locked in the binding upon release of the latter when the boot is subjected to a torque of high intensity.
Claims8
A ski-boot designed to be attached to a ski-boot safety binding comprising at least two safety-release retaining elements for said boot located on each side of the ski and extending, at least partly, above the plane of the ski upon which the sole of the boot rests;
- said boot being characterized in that the sole of the boot comprises a recess allowing one of the retaining elements to pass when the boot moves and bears against the other retaining element;
- the profile of the surface defining the recess located under the heel of the boot being defined geometrically by the fact that, for positions occupied by the boot while it is being released, the maximal width of the sole between the retaining elements is at all times less than the maximal distance between them.
In combination:
- a ski-boot held to the ski by a ski-boot safety binding comprising two safety-release retaining elements for said boot located on each side of the ski and extending, at least partly, above the plane of the sole of the boot;
- the part of the sole of the boot located under the skier's heel comprising a recess allowing one of the retaining elements to pass under the boot when said boot moves and bears against the other retaining element;
- the profile of the surface defining the recess located under the heel of the boot being defined geometrically by the fact that, for positions occupied by the boot when it is being released, the maximal width of the sole located between the retaining elements is at all times less than the maximal distance between them.
