ABSTRACT:
A ski brake having at least one braking leg, which is pivotal by a force applied by a ski boot or by a sole plate to a pedal about an axle, which extends substantially at a right angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the ski in a mounting member which is secured to the ski, between a braking position against a spring force into a retracted position. The braking leg has a bent segment therein which extends from the snow engaging portion of the braking leg toward the longitudinal axis of the ski. The braking leg is held totally above the upper surface of the ski and within the width of the ski in the retracted position of the ski brake by the pedal which is stepped down upon by the ski boot or by the sole plate. In the braking position of the ski brake, the braking leg is held lying next to the ski edge and the braking leg projects below the running surface of the ski. The braking leg is pivotal about a swivel shaft which extends in longitudinal direction of the ski. The braking leg has a cam eccentrically mounted thereon and operatively cooperates with a stop to effectively swivel the braking leg to a position within the width of the ski in response to a force moving the pedal toward the upper surface of the ski.
