COMBINATION OF A TOURING SKI BINDING AND A SKI BRAKE

摘要

A ski has a safety binding which includes a support for a ski boot. The support carries retainers for the toe and heel of the boot and is pivotable about an axis extending transversely of the ski so that the ski boot may be swung away from the ski during skiing. A brake for the ski is mounted on the support and is arranged to be kept in an inoperative or non-braking position by the pressure of the ski boot. The brake is resiliently urged towards its operative or braking position and automatically moves to this position when the pressure of the ski boot is released. The ski is thus braked regardless of whether the boot is removed from the binding intentionally or unintentionally.
