Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0667174A1] The ski fixing element which retains the end of a boot sole and frees it under excessive force comprises a base (3) connected to the ski. A body (2) is mounted on the base and carries a boot retaining jaw (4) comprising two webs (5) which hold the boot laterally. Each of these webs is movable in a horizontal plane in response to the boot against the force developed by a return spring (15) housed in the body. A compensation mechanism (30) reduces the spring return force on one of the webs in response to a force exerted by the boot on a sensor formed by part of a support plate (41). The end of the boot sole rests on the support plate near the jaws. The support plate is pivoted about a longitudinal horizontal axis (43). The part of the plate tips about this axis from a horizontal position, beyond which it is immobilised in an inclined
