Ski binding

An electrically operated device for use on a ski binding arrangement having a toe jaw with a sole holder adapted to engage the sole of a ski boot and a heel holder, said electrically operated device indicating an incorrect insertion of a ski boot into said ski binding arrangement, comprising:

• an electrical supply source;
• an electrical indicating mechanism series connected to said electrical supply source;
• and
• first and second electric circuits connected in parallel to each other and across said series connected electrical supply source and said indicating mechanism, said first electric circuit comprising plural first electrical switch means juxtaposed said toe jaw, at least one of which constituting a first main switch which must be actuated in response to a presence of a ski boot and to facilitate an indication of an incorrect insertion of said ski boot therein, the remainder of said plural first switch means being mounted on the underside of said sole holder on said toe jaw so that said remainder of said first switch means must all become actuated in response to the presence of an incorrectly inserted ski boot into said toe jaw, said second electric circuit comprising at least one second electrical switch means juxtaposed said heel holder and which is actuated in response to an incorrect insertion of said ski boot therein;
• whereby an actuation of all of said first switch means juxtaposed said toe jaw, on the one hand, and an actuation of said second switch means juxtaposed said heel holder, on the other hand, will assure an energization of said electrical indicating mechanism to warn the user of said ski binding arrangement of an incorrect insertion of said ski boot therein.
