Abstract
A safety ski binding with a sole plate to be clamped to the boot, which is fixed at the ski in several cross planes perpendicular to the ski surface and which is so latched that it is released against the latching action when relatively strong forces act on the binding in the sense of a binding release; the sole plate is thereby fastened at the ski in a center or rearward cross plane by lateral detent means on both sides of the ski in such a manner that for the purpose of unlatching in case of a twisting fall, it rotates about a point disposed in or approximately in this cross plane and/or is able to release in the upward direction during a forward fall; additionally, the sole plate is fastened in a second forward cross plane by the use of means, which hold the sole plate to the ski, yet permit a lateral deflection in this plane.
