Abstract

A safety binding for a ski boot having a sole clamp divided into two sole clamps (3, 4) each mounted pivoting about a particular more or less vertical axis. The sole clamps (3, 4) form two levers of a first type with two diverging arms designed to retain the boot laterally and two substantially converging arms perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Each sole clamp is provided with a descending arm (9, 10) which bears against two adjacent points on the end of a piston (13). The piston is axially mounted in the body (1) of the binding and extends beneath the boot. A spring is biased against the piston. The descending arms (9, 10) simultaneously control the elastic tilting of the sole clamp in a vertical plane.
