PCT No. PCT/EP87/00230 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 18, 1987 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 18, 1987 PCT Filed Apr. 28, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO87/06485 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 5, 1987.The present invention relates to a heel-holder for a safety ski binding, the heel-holder comprising a snap-in device and a sole-holder vertically pivotable about a cross-pin disposed in a housing. The housing is horizontally pivotable about a raised pin formed on a base plate which is mounted on a ski. The snap-in device is loaded by a spring. The snap-in device includes a snap-in rocker pivotably mounted on the housing and a control member pivotably mounted on the snap-in rocker. The snap-in rocker engages a control cam formed on the sole-holder, and the control member engages an extension of the base plate. The spring loads the snap-in device and applies a force for releasing the binding. The snap-in device reduces the spring force required for releasing the binding during both the vertical pivoting of the sole-holder and the horizontal pivoting of the housing. According to further embodiments, the base plate extension may be fixed to a pivot plate which is supported on the base plate and which is horizontally pivotable with respect to the ski.
