Abstract
Ski safety binding comprising, on its frontal surface (1b) opposite the surface on which the jaw is positioned, a control device (9) a control lever extending opposite to the jaw and beyond the body (1) of the binding, and mounted so as to pivot on the body (1) around a horizontal, transverse axis (11), an intermediate point (13) of the control lever (9) being connected to the end portion (5c) of a locking device (5) located on the second frontal surface (1b) of the body (1), in such a way that lifting the control lever (9) causes upward pivoting of locking device (5) and movement from its locked to its released position.

Ski safety binding comprising a body (1) carrying, on a first frontal surface, a movable jaw adapted for locking an end of a boot on a ski, said body being mounted so as to slide on a longitudinal slide-track (2) attached on said ski and capable of being locked in an adjustable longitudinal position on said slide-track (2) by means of a locking device (5) mounted so as to pivot about a horizontal axis on said body (1), said locking device (5) being acted upon elastically by a spring (8) and comprising at least one lower tooth (6) capable of being engaged, in the locked position, in one of several holes (4) formed in said longitudinal slide-track (2) and spaced apart longitudinally, wherein said safety binding comprises, on a second frontal surface (1b) opposite said first frontal surface on which said jaw is positioned, a control lever (9) having a free gripping end and being constituted by a substantially C-shaped rigid wire loop whose end portions comprise horizontal, transverse sections (9b) extending toward each other and engaged in respective housings (15) forming bearings in said body (1) and giving material form to a transverse pivoting axis (11) of said control lever (9), said control lever (9) having an intermediate point (13) connected, by connection means (14 to an end part (5c) of said locking device (5) located adjacent said second frontal surface (1b) of said body (1), so that raising said control lever (9) by applying a force beneath said free, gripping end (12) causes said locking device (5) to pivot upward and to move from a locked position to an unlocked position.
