ABSTRACT:
A ski brake having a support plate secured to a ski and a combination of a support member and an operating plate pivotally secured to the support plate, which support member and operating plate pivotally support the brake arms therein for movement between a retracted position above the upper surface of a ski and a braking position wherein the brake arms extend beneath the lower surface of the ski. The pivotal movement of the support member and operating plate relative to the support plate, as well as the pivotal movement of the brake arms relative to the support member and the operating plate, is accomplished by a single spring. The vertical height of the operating plate above the support member is initially different so that when the ski boot urges the operating plate downwardly relative to the support member, the two surfaces will become flushed and the brake arms will be pivoted through the last range of movement to a position located above the upper surface of the ski and inwardly of the lateral edges thereof.
