An apparatus for charge-assisted release of a ski binding includes an explosive material, a battery, an electrical circuit, and a processor. The explosive material is mounted on or in a ski, a ski boot, and/or a ski binding. The electrical circuit extends from the explosive material to the battery, the electrical circuit including a switch having a connected state in which the battery and the explosive material are electrically connected through the switch and a disconnected state in which the battery and the explosive material are electrically disconnected. The processor is electrically coupled to the switch and configured to generate an output signal that transitions the switch from the disconnected state to the connected state in response to an input signal from one or more sensors.

A toe-piece for binding a boot to a gliding board, the toe-piece including a frame; two wings each pivotable in relation to the frame about an axis of rotation and supporting a lateral interface surface designed to come into contact with a front portion of the boot when the toe-piece is in a descent configuration. The toe-piece further includes a lateral release mechanism that includes a connecting element connected to the wings such that the displacement of the connecting element causes the rotation of the wings about their axes of rotation; a first elastic member, a first end of which is connected to the connecting member; and a body against which a second end of the first elastic member presses. The toe-piece further includes an adjustment mechanism that acts on the wings in order to position them alternately in a first configuration, in which each lateral interface surface is in contact with the boot, or in a second configuration, in which each lateral interface surface is away from the boot, for the same positioning of the boot in relation to the toe-piece. The body of the lateral release mechanism is movable in relation to the frame.

The present invention relates to a release mechanism for a ski binding system, wherein the system comprises a ski shoe (20) wherein pins (11) moveable in each direction are arranged and at least one intermediate spring element (12), wherein the pins (11) are adapted to slide in a barrel (13) between a protruding and a retracted position. The system comprises a frame (2) with two vertical parts (3, 4) arranged on a ski, wherein each vertical part has an opening (5) each for receiving a pin (11) protruding sideways out of the ski shoe (20), two bails (7) with claws (8) at one end and brought together in a manipulator (9) at the other end, wherein the claws (8) and the manipulator (9) are adapted so that they can move synchronously into the openings in the opposite direction of the pins (11).
