<p>A front jaw for a safety ski binding includes a support member mounted on a ski having a hold-down cooperable with a ski shoe sole supported for vertical movement, a pair of centering levers cooperable with the sides of the ski shoe sole supported for pivotal movement about vertical axes, and a compensating lever supported for pivotal movement about a substantially horizontal axis. One end of the compensating lever engages the top of the sole hold-down and the other end engages the centering levers. A spring urges the centering levers inwardly, and the centering levers in turn urge the compensating lever pivotally so that it urges the hold-down downwardly. When the sole hold-down is moved upwardly during a fall, it causes pivotal movement of the compensating lever which in turn causes pivotal movement of the centering levers outwardly away from the ski shoe sole against the force of the spring. Upward movement of the sole hold-down is limited by a stop.</p> |
