摘要

A ski binding of the type comprising a plate engageable by a skier's boot and a releasable mechanism for securing the plate on a ski and enabling the plate to separate from the ski if the skier should fall. A ski brake is supported by the plate and comprises at least one spade pivoted on the plate. A member movable by engagement with a skier's boot controls the spade so that the spade is retracted into an inactive position above the ski sole when the boot is placed on the plate and projects downwardly into an active position below the ski sole when the boot is separated from the plate.
