ABSTRACT:
An improved ski brake having a pair of blade members which extend laterally with respect to the ski and are pivotally supported against spring force about an axis which extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the ski. The two blade members are connected through a stepping plate and are held in the downnhill retracted position above the sliding surface of the ski by the force of the ski boot pressing downwardly thereon. The ski brake is composed of a section of spring steel wire having two portions thereof bent at 180.degree. to form the blade members. The ends of the spring steel wire are received in flanges on a base plate secured to the ski, which flanges have control cam surfaces thereon and which terminate in a locking recess. The ski brake is held in the braking position when the end portions of the spring steel wire are located in the locking recess.
