Abstract
The invention concerns a ski safety binding with a sole plate pivoting about a rising pin. The sole plate cannot however be lifted off the ski. The sole plate includes at its rear a heel holder and at its front a toe piece. The sole holder is pivotable about a cross rod at the front. The toe piece includes a control member associated with a control cam of a guide plate. When a pre-determined pivot angle of the sole holder relative to the longitudinal ski axis is reached, the control cam allows the sole holder to pivot to allow the release of the ski boot. In the present invention the front of the sole plate is designed to be a bearing which supports at least one cross bolt which supports the sole holder, the control member and a ratchet lever. Further, at the front of the bearing is an attachment which enters a guide groove located in the guide plate and is moveable in longitudinally displaceable manner on a base plate.
