Abstract
A ski brake mechanism for preventing the runaway of a ski after the release of same from a ski boot which is held on the ski by a ski binding. The ski brake includes an approximately U-shaped braking bar which is provided with braking arms which lie on both sides of the ski and are pivotally supported about an axis which lies at a right angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of the ski. The braking bar can be swung, loaded by a spring, with downwardly projecting arms into the braking position and can be swung into the ready position above the upper surface of the ski when the ski boot is inserted into the ski binding by means of a stepping plate. The spring is an approximately U-shaped spring bar which is bent from spring wire and is supported in a mounting plate on the ski and spaced longitudinally a distance from the braking bar. The braking bar and the spring bar are pivotally connected by interpositioning of the stepping plate through carrier parts.
