Abstract
The ski binding comprises a body which can be fixed to a ski and is removably accomodatable in a recess provided in the lower face of the sole of a ski boot. The body defines a fixed coupling element which is engageable with a first abutment provided at one end of said recess and supports a movable coupling element which can move with respect to the body and is removably engageable with a second abutment provided at the other end of the recess. The movable coupling element is connected to a piston which is sealingly movable in a fluid chamber connected to a tank chamber, wherein an operating piston, is sealingly movable, and protrudes from said body, and interacts with a portion of the recess upon the application of the boot to the binding, to feed the fluid from the tank chamber to the fluid chamber, with consequent motion of the movable coupling element to engage with the second abutment.
