Abstract

A resilient mechanism for maintaining the jaw unit of a safety ski binding in the normal boot-retaining position includes two vertical flat faces extending transversely on a stationary jaw-unit support. Two flat cams applied against the flat faces by a single spring consist respectively of a bearing surface of the jaw-unit body and of a small bearing plate carried by a rod on which the jaw-unit body is slidably mounted. The rod is slidably mounted within a knuckle-bearing orifice of the stationary support and is thus capable of pivotal displacement with the jaw unit in all directions on the stationary support.
