<p>A ski release side clamping binding with hinged jaw members is described. In the binding there is provided a housing. In the interior of the housing there is movably mounted a pair of housing mounted plate members. To each of the housing mounted plate members there is pivotably attached a jaw member. Coupled to the jaw member is a resilient clamping member. The resilient clamping means is provided for resiliently releasably clamping a ski boot between the jaw members. In use, the jaw members are free to pivot downwardly when the jaw members have moved outwardly a specified distance from the housing against the restraining force of the resilient clamping member. The downward pivoting of the jaw members is provided for removing a potential obstruction to the movement of the ski boot by the jaw members during a rotational release and the like.</p> |
