Abstract
A ski binding comprising two lateral clamps (4, 4') mounted displaceably under the action of a resilient member parallel to the plane of the ski (3) between a closed position in which the clamps coact with the sole of the boot and an open position. These clamps have when viewed from above a forwardly converging shape flaring rearwardly; the portion of each clamp adapted to coact in closed position with a medial portion of the sole of the boot forms a ramp that makes with the plane of the ski an acute angle increasing from the front (.alpha.) to the rear (.beta.). These clamps are carried by arms pivotally mounted on the ski behind the clamps. The ski boot (8) adapted to be maintained in operative position on a ski by the above binding comprises a sole (9) whose medial portion (10) has lateral edges forming ramps (11) corresponding to those of the clamps of the binding.
