AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing ski bindings fail to prevent pre-release during downhill skiing and lack complete security during normal operations due to undesirable release modes caused by mechanical springs, which cannot differentiate between different force types, leading to unwanted pre-release.
Method used
A ski binding system with a toe piece and heel piece that includes rotatable stages, adjustable release mechanisms, and a state selector to differentiate between skiing modes, ensuring secure engagement and controlled release based on predetermined torque conditions.
Benefits of technology
The system provides enhanced safety and performance by allowing differentiated release modes, preventing unwanted pre-release and ensuring secure engagement in both uphill and downhill skiing conditions.

Abstract
A ski binding including a toe piece having a base; a rotatable stage disposed on the base and configured for rotation, a first arm and a second arm mounted on the rotatable stage, each arm including a pin; a lever having a state selector, pivotable between locked and unlocked positions; a blocking member movable to disengage at least one of the first and second arm upon rotation of the rotatable stage a predetermined angle; a heel piece spaced aftward from the toe piece including: a heel piece base; a slidable plate configured to receive a ski boot heel; an x-stage extending upwardly from the heel piece base, with an adjustable position along the x-axis; and a heel latch coupled to the x-stage: an Mz release mechanism controlling rotation of the heel latch about the z2-axis; and an My release mechanism controlling rotation of the heel latch about the y2-axis.
