A ski binding comprising two lateral clamps (4, 4') mounted displaceably under the action of a resilient member parallel to the plane of the ski (3) between a closed position in which the clamps coact with the sole of the boot and an open position. These clamps have when viewed from above a forwardly converging shape flaring rearwardly; the portion of each clamp adapted to coact in closed position with a medial portion of the sole of the boot forms a ramp that makes with the plane of the ski an acute angle increasing from the front (.alpha.) to the rear (.beta.). These clamps are carried by arms pivotally mounted on the ski behind the clamps. The ski boot (8) adapted to be maintained in operative position on a ski by the above binding comprises a sole (9) whose medial portion (10) has lateral edges forming ramps (11) corresponding to those of the clamps of the binding.
Safety binding for a boot on a ski comprising two lateral clamps movably mounted under the influence of a resilient member parallel to the plane of the ski between a closed position in which these clamps coact with the sole of the boot and an open position, characterized by the fact that the clamps are carried by arms pivotally mounted on the ski, said clamps having when seen from above a forwardly converging shape opening rearwardly, and by the fact that the portion of each clamp adapted to coact in closed position with the sole of the boot comprises a ramp forming with the plane of the ski an acute angle that increases from front to rear.
