ABSTRACT:
A ski brake having a pair of braking legs, which ski brake is pivotal by a force applied by a ski boot or by a sole plate to a pedal about an axle which extends substantially at a right angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the ski in a mounting member which is secured to the ski, between a braking position against a spring force into a retracted position. Each braking leg has a braking mandrel with a bent segment therein which extends from the braking mandrel toward the longitudinal axis of the ski. The braking leg is held totally above the upper surface of the ski and within the width of the ski in the retracted position of the ski brake by the pedal which is stepped down upon by the ski boot or by the sole plate. In the braking position of the ski brake, the braking mandrel is held lying next to the ski edge and the braking leg projects below the running surface of the ski. The braking leg is pivotal about a swivel axle which extends in longitudinal direction of the ski when the ski brake is in the retracted position. The end of the braking leg remote from the braking mandrel is provided with a crank segment which engages a control part pivotally secured to the pedal. The control part is engageable with the upper surface of the ski as the pedal moves toward the retracted position of the ski brake to effect the aforementioned movement of the braking mandrel to a position oriented within the width of the ski.
