1,012,836. Ski-bindings. H. MARKER. Aug 7, 1962 [Aug 12, 1961: May 30, 1962], No. 30148/62. Heading A6D. A movable member carrying a front jaw for ski bindings is arranged to be deflectable in a lateral direction about a vertical pin when under excessive torque, the said member having at least one inclined surface spring-biased towards a cooperating inclined surface whereby the said member is urged back to its normal position. In the first embodiment, Figs. 1 and 4,the movable member 4 carrying the jaw 16 has a double inclined under surface in the form of a shallow V and this is pressed against a base member 2 of co-operatin configuration by a spring 5 whose tension is adjustable by means of a nut 6. Thus when the member 4 is angularly displaced it will return, when freed of obstruction, to its normal piston, in which position a ball catch 9, 10, 11 locks it. The jaw 16 is similarly secured to the member 4 so that when the member 4 is deflected clockwise, as viewed from above, the jaw is deflected counterclockwise, and vice versa. A second embodiment is described with reference to Fig. 3 (not shown) in which a single inclined surface is employed. The adjustment of tension of springs 5, 21 may be by multisurfaced cams 29.
