ABSTRACT:
Latching apparatus for a ski brake that has three elements: at least one braking element journalled on a base plate and movable between an active position, in which the braking element projects under the sole of the ski, and an inactive position, in which the braking element is raised with respect to the ski; an elastic system biasing the braking element toward the active position; and activation means for activating the braking element to move from the active to the inactive position in response to downward pressure from a boot on the activation means. The latching apparatus is a removable bar positioned either, between two of the movable elements of the brake or between the braking element and an element integral with the ski, to lock the braking element in its inactive position. The latching apparatus also includes an extension element, extending vertically above the bar, and positioned in front of the binding so as to block the insertion of the boot into the binding. In addition, the extension element is positioned between lateral edges of the ski above the sole of the ski so as to permit easy access to the sole of the ski and the edges of the ski for easy maintenance.
