ABSTRACT:
A brake for a ski has a holder defining a pivot transverse to the ski and parallel to the upper surface thereof. A resiliently deformable wire has a central bight portion defining a plane, a pair of pivot portions confined in the holder pivot and bent inwardly toward each other out of the plane of the bight portion, a pair of connecting portions bent away from the pivot portions and extending outwardly away from each other toward the sides of the ski and a pair of leg portions extending generally parallel to each other from the connecting portions and lying out of the plane. The wire is symmetrical about a plane perpendicular to the surface and extending longitudinally of the ski. A braking element is carried on each of the leg portions, and is displaceable between a position in which it projects below the lower surface of the ski and a position in which it lies above this lower surface and within the lateral outline of the ski on displacement of the bight portion by the heel or toe of a skiboot.
