Abstract
A heel holder includes a base plate mountable on the ski, a sole holder supported for vertical and transverse horizontal movement relative to the base plate, a first locking mechanism for yieldably resisting upward movement of the sole holder away from a closed position adjacent the base plate, and a second locking mechanism which prevents transverse horizontal movement of the sole holder until it has moved upwardly a predetermined distance away from the base plate. The second locking mechanism includes cooperating locking parts on the base plate and the sole holder, one locking part being vertically movably supported on the associated one of the base plate and sole holder and being resiliently urged toward the other locking part. One of the locking parts has a vertical recess which receives the other locking part in the closed position of the sole holder.
