A new procedure is given for deriving the distribution of the orbital planes of binaries in clusters, based upon the statistics of the observed mass functions. Tables are provided for applications of the method. The procedure is applied to IC 4665 and an average inclination of 45 and a small dispersion of the inclinations is found. Key words: open clusters - mass functions
