Abstract

A laterally releasable toe unit of a safety ski binding has a sole clamp (18) which is pivotable about substantially vertical tilting axes (16) provided on the binding housing (11) and is pressed by a release spring (12) against tilting surfaces defining the tilting axes (16). The angle .alpha. between the line of action (19) of the release spring (12) and the tilting axis (16) is smaller than 90.degree., so that a force N is exerted on the sole clamp (18) by the release spring which draws it downwardly.
