Coupled to the jaw member is a resilient clamping member. The resilient clamping means is provided for resiliently releasably clamping a ski boot between the jaw members. In use, the jaw members are free to pivot downwardly when the jaw members have moved outwardly a specified distance from the housing against the restraining force of the resilient clamping member. The downward pivoting of the jaw members is provided for removing a potential obstruction to the movement of the ski boot by the jaw members during a rotational release and the like.
