Abstract
A heel hold-down mechanism for safety ski bindings with a heel hold-down member carrying a spur and adapted to be pivoted up against the elastic detent effect by means of a movable detent member; the spur is thereby pivotally mounted at the heel hold-down member and is provided with a control surface cooperating with the detent member and extending transversely to the direction of movement of the detent member; the control surface is so arranged and constructed that the spur in the normal use position of the heel hold-down member is forced by the spring-loaded detent member in a holding-down sense against the heel hold-down member and after the heel hold-down member exceeds a predetermined upward stroke is so stressed by the detent member that it is pivoted underneath the heel.
