  • Method and apparatus for testing the resetting capacity of safety ski bindings which are for example mounted on skis
    Patent number: 4341121
    Abstract: Safety ski bindings offer an adequate safeguard against erroneous release if they possess an adequately large resetting capacity. To test this resetting capacity, the ski boot is repeatedly displaced through a constant distance by a pressure pin applying a constant force thereto during constant time intervals. If the ski boot fails to return to its starting position during constant time intervals against a fixed resistance, then this is indicative of an inadequately large resetting capacity because the residual distances remaining after each displacement will be summated and eventually cause release of the binding.
