ABSTRACT:
A ski brake has a support securable to the upper surface of a ski and forming a longitudinal passage extending in the normal ski displacement direction. A brake element is pivotal on this support about an element axis between a skiing position generally parallel to the ski and wholly above the lower ski surface and a braking position extending downwardly past and transverse to this lower surface. A wire biasing loop is connected between the brake element and the support and urges the element into the braking position. This loop has a pivot section pivoted in the support at a pivot axis perpendicular to the ski displacement direction and parallel to the ski upper surface and a leg extending through the passage and longitudinally displaceable therein between a forwardly advanced position corresponding to the braking position of the element and a rearwardly retracted position corresponding to the element skiing position. The loop is relatively greatly elastically deformed and lies generally flatly on the ski in the skiing position and is less elastically deformed and stands up in the braking position.
