ABSTRACT:
The invention proposes a braking device for a ski, particularly for braking a ski which has become detached from a ski boot and continues to run on, on its own, said device having a double-armed brake stirrup, whose arms can be tilted about an axis which runs at right angles to the longitudinal direction of the ski and which extend in the inoperative position along opposite sides of the ski, the arms being tilted into the braking position by the action of a spring, in which position the ends of the arms on one side of the axis project downwardly into the surface over which the ski is running and the ends of the arms on the other side of the axis, which are joined together and are intended to be pressed down by the ski boot, are tilted upwardly after separation of the ski boot from the ski. The spring for tilting the stirrup is tensioned between said connected ends of said arms and a mounting plate, defining a line of action extending substantially through said axis in said inoperative position. Additionally a leaf spring is provided engaging with said stirrup to initiate operation of said device by said spring means.
