Abstract

A heel for ski bindings with an automatic reset device, including a heel unit body which can be fixed to a ski and supports a ski boot grip jaw, a kinematic system acting on said grip jaw; the kinematic system is connected to a spring which can be calibrated so as to removably retain the grip jaw in ski boot securing position. A pedal interacts with the ski boot for actuating the kinematic system to open the grip jaw when the ski boot separates from the binding.
