Abstract
The invention is related to a binding element for alpine skis including a base connected to the ski, a body mounted on the base, a boot retention jaw borne by the body, an energy spring housed in the body to elastically oppose the opening movements of the jaw in response to biases of the boot, and a support plate on which the sole of the boot rests. The support plate is configured for being mobile in a rocking motion, and a linking arrangement, sensitive to the rocking motions of the support plate, connect the support plate to one of the mobile members of the binding element to reduce the resistance force that the boot must overcome in order to be released by the jaw in response to a rocking bias exerted on the support plate.
