Abstract

In a safety ski-binding for connecting a ski boot directly to a ski or over a sole plate of the ski by means of an extensible cable near each of the front and back of the boot, extension of the cable being resiliently opposed by the spring of a cable drum and the cable being only deliberately detachable from the boot or sole plate, the boot or sole plate is held to the ski against vertical as well as horizontal motion by two latching devices each comprising a catch member on the ski or on the boot or sole plate and a latch member movable with respect to the catch member and biased into engagement therewith by the cable.
