Abstract
The invention is related to a binding element for alpine skis including the following components: a base, a body, a jaw for retaining the boot and an energy spring housed in the body. The binding element includes the following features: the support plate is movable in a rocking motion and the linking means, sensitive to the rocking motions of the support plate, connect the support plate to at least one of the movable members of the binding element, to reduce the resistance force that the boot must overcome to be laterally released by the jaw, and then generate the free tilting of the jaw beyond a rocking motion with a predetermined amplitude obtained by the support plate.
