ABSTRACT:
The ski brake comprises a base plate (3) on which are supported two brake levers (15, 17) between their two ends via a crossed linkage (27) pivotably about two mutually perpendicular axes. Crank arms (35) opposite the free ends (33) of the brake arms are connected in articulated manner with a foot pedal (41) whose opposite end in the lengthwise direction of the ski is linked to guidance means (45) which are guided upon the base plate (3) slideably in the lengthwise direction of the ski against the pressure of a pretensioning spring (61). In the braking position, in which the free ends of the brake levers (15, 17) project below the ski runner surface, the pretensioning force of the spring (61) is absorbed by a bearing surface (57) of the base plate (3). In the ready position, in which the foot pedal (41) is pressed down upon the base plate (3) the free ends (33) of the brake levers (15, 17) are lifted above the ski. A slide block (67) slides the foot pedal (41) via its inclined sliding surface (69) away from the crossed linkages (27) upon approaching the ready position, whereby the free ends (33) of the brake levers (15, 17) are pivoted inwardly toward the middle of the ski. During the inward pivoting movement and in the ready position, the slide block (67) likewise transfers the pretensioning force of the spring (61) to the base plate (3), so that similarly to the braking position also in the ready position the linkages of the brake levers (15, 17) are unloaded.
