ABSTRACT:
A holding plate is secured on the top surface of a ski and pivotally supports a support frame. The support frame is a piece of wire material bent preferably into the shape of a square or an omega, the sections of which are preferably coplanar and at least one section of which serves as the pivot axle therefor. A torsion spring encircles said one section of the frame, has two legs with eyelets which respectively grip adjacent sections of the frame, and has a central section which rests against the holding plate. An operating pedal is releasably mounted on the support frame by resilient fastening clamps fabricated from the material of the operating pedal, at least one fastening clamp being engaged with each section of the support frame other than the section serving as the pivot axle. A pair of braking arms is pivotally supported in the pedal, and the pedal is pivotally movable between a braking position in which the free ends of the braking arms extend downwardly below the bottom of the ski and a retracted position in which such free ends are positioned above the top surface of the ski.
