Schuhrückhaltevorrichtung auf einem Snowboard bzw. Ski oder ähnlichem

摘要

The safety binding consists of a jaw (3) pivoted to a body (2) about a transverse axis so that it can rotate between open and closed positions. The jaw is held in the closed position by an elastic system with a piston (6) which interacts with a sloping surface in the jaw. The piston being urged upwards by at least one retaining link (14b), and preferably by one on each side of the piston. An axial line through the centres of the links' pivots is situated generally vertically. It is angled slightly towards the boot in the closed position of the jaw and slightly away from the vertical in the open position. A lever (11) which releases the binding is articulated to the piston about the transverse axis of the upper link pivot (12).
