HEEL UNIT FOR A SKI-BINDING

摘要

A heel unit of a ski binding has a housing (12) which is resiliently rearwardly deflectably mounted on the ski. A sole clamp (13) having a hold-down member (13') and a pedal element (13''), and also a hand-opening lever (15) are pivotably mounted about a transverse axis (14) in each case. The sole clamp (13) is biased by a release spring (16) into a closed position via a transmission (17, 18) having a deadpoint (26'). The sole clamp (13) can snap into an open position under the action of excessive vertical forces by moving through the deadpoint (26). The sole clamp (13) and the hand-opening lever (15) are pivotally mounted about the same transverse axis (14) which is arranged in the front region of the housing (12). Actuating abutments (19, 20) which cooperate with one another are provided at a radial distance from the transverse axis (14) and an opening moment is transmitted from the hand-opening lever (15 ) onto the sole clamp (13) via these actuating abutments.
