ABSTRACT:
A ski brake for automatically braking the free flight of the ski upon the release of a ski boot therefrom comprises a mounting plate fixed to an upper surface of the ski and a bent-spring wire having a bight lying in one plane and a pair of offset portions angularly bent from the shank of the bight lying in another plane and received in passages in the mounting plate so that the pressing of the bight toward the surface of the ski resiliently deforms the wire and loads the same so that it tends to spring back into an operative position when the ski boot is released from the surface of the ski. A pair of brake elements are mounted upon the bent-spring wire so as to extend into the snow in the operative position of the brake. The brake elements are extended above the surface of the ski in this latter position so that they can be engaged by the ski boot so as to serve as actuators which can be held down by the ski boot and released when the ski boot is removed from the upper ski surface.
