Abstract
Hinged to a mounting are, on the one hand, a lever pivoting about a first axis and, on the other hand, a boot-removing lever pivoting about a second axis. The lever carries a roller cooperating with a ramp on the jaw, for the purpose of keeping the jaw in the closed position. A resilient element, applying traction, is located between two points of attachment on the lever and the jaw. The present binding may be used as a heel-piece.
Claims15
A binding designed to hold a ski boot to a support, such as a ski or a plate mounted upon a ski, said binding comprising:
- a mounting secured to said support,
- a jaw mounted to pivot about a first axis of said mounting, said axis being parallel to the surface of the ski in such a manner that said jaw is able to move between:
- (a) a position in which the boot is held to the support,
- (b) a position in which the boot is released;
- a boot-removing lever mounted to pivot about a second axis on said mounting, said second axis being parallel with said first axis,
- ramp and stop means provided respectively on one of said lever and jaw
- and a resilient means urging said ramp and said stop means into contact with each other, said resilient means being attached to said jaw and to said lever in such a manner that it exerts traction between points of attachment of said resilient means to said jaw and said lever and causes automatic closing and opening of said jaw upon actuation of said lever.
A binding designed to hold a ski boot to a support, such as a ski or a plate mounted upon a ski, said binding comprising:
- a mounting secured to said support,
- a jaw mounted to pivot about a first axis of said mounting, said axis being parallel to the surface of the ski in such a manner that said jaw is able to move between:
- (a) a position in which the boot is held to the support,
- (b) a position in which the boot is released;
- a boot-removing lever mounted to pivot about a second axis on said mounting, said second axis being parallel with said first axis,
- ramp and stop means provided respectively on one of said lever and jaw,
- means for temporarily locking said lever relative to said jaw after said lever has been moved relative to said jaw for achieving voluntary unlocking of the binding,
- and a resilient means urging said ramp and said stop means into contact with each other, said resilient means being attached to said jaw and to said lever in such a manner that it exerts traction between points of attachment of said resilient means to said jaw and said lever.
