Abstract

In a safety ski-binding connecting a ski boot to the sole plate of a ski or directly on a ski by means of two cable controls which can each be pulled out to a limited extent against the force of a spring, retaining means are provided in association with each cable control to prevent automatic resetting of the cable control after the latter has been extended during a fall. The retaining means are only deliberately releasable and may comprise a ratchet wheel connected to the cable drum to rotate therewith and a pawl associated with the ratchet for normally preventing the drum from turning back.
