Title:
SKI BINDER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5711670
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The binding has a base plate (1) carrying a toe connection means (2), a heel connection means (3) and a brake (20) which functions automatically when a ski boot (4) is released from the binding, the brake comprising a generally V-shaped member of resilient material, the lower part of which provides brake arms (22) extending rearwardly or rearwardly-downwardly respectively at each side of the ski (21) and the upper part of which provides a brake clamp (24) extending forwardly or forwardly-upwardly. The base plate (1) is mounted slightly spaced above the upper surface of the ski (21) and the brake is mounted in a through track (18) at a place between the toe and heel connection means. Two horizontal branches of the brake clamp provide pivot shafts for the brake and extend through the base plate adjacent the rear end of the through track (18). Preferably the track is formed with two portions narrowing towards each other, and the brake clamp (24) is pre-stressed so as to tend to rotate the brake (20) to a downward brake position while sliding along the sides of the rear portion.
