摘要:
A heel-retaining device for a ski binding in which a ski brake is integrated with the device and in which the heel-holding member is carried by a rotary plate located beneath the heel of the ski boot. The rotary plate has a large opening within which are mounted the pedal for operating the pivotal arms of the ski brake together with the adjacent end portions of the braking arms. The pivot-pins of the braking arms are located below the level of the rotary plate. An upward displacement of the brake-operating pedal at the time of lifting of the ski-boot heel is not liable to interfere with the free rotational movement of the rotary plate and the components carried by the plate.
摘要:
The axis of rotation of a plate which carries the heel-holding member of a ski binding is forwardly inclined at an angle approximately between 8.degree. and 20.degree. with respect to a vertical axis perpendicular to the top ski face. This angle of slope is close in value to the forward slope imposed on the skier's tibia by the shape of the ski boot. The top surface of the rotary plate nevertheless remains parallel to the top ski face.
