Abstract: A device for retaining a boot on a sports apparatus, including a mechanism for reversibly locking the boot thereto. The mechanism includes: a housing carrying a fixed jaw; a baseplate; a slide carrying a movable jaw, slidable in the housing in a direction moving the jaws toward or away from one another; a lever having a cam surface, the lever articulated to one of the housing and the slide, the other of the housing and the slide having a support surface, the cam and support surfaces cooperating so that, when in contact with one another, the jaws are closer together when the lever is in a locked position, and the jaws are farther apart when the lever is in an unlocked position. The mechanism includes an elastic mechanism for biasing the slide to cause the relative displacement between movable and fixed jaws.
