Abstract
A ski binding device for fastening a boot on a ski is described. The device includes a toepiece and a heelpiece fixed to the ski and structured to selectively retain the boot. The heelpiece includes a turret and a hooking projecting appendix (“HPA”) that juts out from the turret towards the toepiece while remaining substantially parallel to a first reference axis. The HPA includes a latch element insertable through the turret and configured to move forwards and backwards with respect to the turret parallel to the first reference axis. The turret includes a heel rising member movable from and towards a working position supporting the boot in a raised position and a mechanical connecting member connecting the heel rising member to the latch element to transmit the translating motion of the latch element to the heel rising member to move the heel rising member substantially together with the latch element.
