Abstract: A front jaw for ski bindings having two pivotal levers engageable with the toe of a ski boot adjacent opposite sides thereof. The levers are pivotal at a point intermediate the ends thereof so that the levers each have a long arm portion which is engageable with the toe of the ski boot and a short arm portion which engages a spring control mechanism for regulating the pressure which is required in order to release the ski boot from the ski binding. The shorter arms are, more particularly, engaged with a longitudinally movable spring rod which is movable longitudinally of the ski depending upon the lateral force applied to the ends of the longer arm portion of the pivotal levers.
