Braking device for a binding for a gliding board

Braking device for a gliding board, comprising:

• a base provided to be affixed to the gliding board;
• at least one braking arm pivotable in relation to the base about a first axis of rotation substantially transverse to the gliding board, the braking arm comprising a control element extending along an axis substantially parallel to the first axis of rotation;
• a support plate movable in relation to the base, the support plate comprising a housing guiding the control element, the control element being positioned in the guiding housing to vary as a function of an angular position of the braking arm, and
• an elastic mechanism acting on the control element along an actuation direction varying as a function of the angular position of the braking arm;
• the support plate being configured to be displaced by an amplitude covering at least two positioning ranges, the two positioning ranges comprising:
• a first positioning range in which the base, the braking arm, the support plate, and the elastic mechanism are arranged so that the elastic mechanism acts on the control element to cause rotation of the braking arm in a first direction;
• a second positioning range in which the base, the braking arm, the support plate, and the elastic mechanism are arranged so that the elastic mechanism acts on the control element to cause rotation of the braking arm in a second direction, opposite the first direction of rotation;
• and
• an actuator configured to interact with the support plate to cause rotation of the support plate in order to switch the support plate from the first positioning range to the second positioning range.

• and
• a retractable wedge configured to interact with a heel of a boot to limit upward displacement of the heel in the direction away from the gliding board, so that the heel cannot cooperate with a boot-fixing element of a heel-piece affixed to the gliding board.
