<p>Manual release means for safety ski binding. The sole holder for the forward or rearward end of a ski boot is pivoted to a housing and includes a pin within said housing which moves upwardly and downwardly with opening and closing movement of the sole holder. A pair of tonglike means resiliently embrace said pin for normally holding the sole holder in sole engaging position but are spread apart against an adjustable spring force upon imposition of a predetermined opening force onto the sole engaging means of the device. One side of said tonglike device is directly engaged by one end of the adjusting spring and the other side of said tonglike device is engaged by the reaction means holding the other end of said spring whereby to double the holding strength of the tonglike means for a given spring as compared to a construction in which the spring holds only one side of a pin retaining device. Cam means manually operable by an external lever are placed between the sides of said tonglike means for manually releasing same as desired.</p> |
