Abstract
A ski brake apparatus is provided which comprises two brake arms each mounted on one side of the ski and arranged to swing under the action of a spring force into a braking position in which the brake arm partly extends under the bottom side of the ski. Each brake arm and the associated spring is integrally formed from the same spring material. Each brake arm comprises a prolongation perpendicularly bent-off and mounted onto the ski to form the swing axis. This axis is oriented parallel with the upper side and transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski. The end of the prolongation opposite to the brake arm is bent to form a spring bracket. The end of this spring bracket is bent parallel to the swing axis and separated from this axis in longitudinal direction of the ski. The spring bracket acts as the operation means of the brake apparatus to hold and to release the brake arm in the stand-by position and in the brake position, respectively, and is oriented upwardly from the upper side of the ski when the brake arm is in its brake position.
