Abstract
An elastic return device for a safety ski binding comprising a coil spring (10) and having a stiffness which varies as a function of the stress rate. A deformable plastic (11) is interposed between the turns of the spring, so that the stiffness of the spring increases with the rate at which it is compressed. This elastic element makes it possible to avoid premature release of the binding.
