Ski brake

摘要

A ski brake for preventing the runaway of a ski. A pair of brake legs are pivotally mounted at each side of the ski for alternately occupying an inactive position alongside of and parallel with the ski or an active position projecting downwardly from the ski. A generally U-shaped member is connected to the brake legs and lies against the upper surface of the ski and under the ski boot when the latter is in position on the ski. The U-shaped member is so arranged as to be subjected to tension when pressed down against the ski by the ski boot with such tension being relieved when same is permitted by removal of the ski boot to spring up away from the ski and to move the brake legs into the abovementioned active position. A stepping plate and a lever are pivotally connected to each other and cooperate with the U-shaped member to effect the aforementioned movement toward the ski when the ski boot is placed in position on the ski between the ski bindings.
