Abstract
Interface device between a ski and front and rear bindings (3, 4), designed to hold in place the ends of a boot on the ski. The device comprises a longilinear plate (15), each end of which is fastened to the ski to the front and rear of the bindings. One end (16) of the plate is attached to the ski. The other end (23) of the plate is movable in relation to the ski, and linkage (24) exerts a force against a block (20) fastened to the ski, thereby pretensioning the plate (15) under traction, and, by reaction, prestressing the central portion of the upper ski surface under compression. Preferably, this pretensioning ceases beyond a determinate ski flection.
