Abstract:
A heel supporting device which forms a part of a ski safety binding that automatically opens when an excessive force is exerted on the ski boot. The heel supporting device includes heel holding means which comprise a pin secured to a casing, a lever pivotably connected to a supporting member and adjustable spring means for pressing the lever to the pin. The lever has a notch and a curved face contiguous to the notch. The pin is engaged in the notch at a normal position of use and is disengaged from it to release the heel of the ski boot when a strong upward directed force is applied to the heel. When the skier steps down his boot to fit it with the ski binding, the pin slides along the curved face of the lever and engages in the notch without pushing the lever against the force of the spring thereby facilitating connection of the ski boot to the ski binding.
