Abstract
A ski brake mechanism comprising at least one laterally positioned brake arm for the ski which can be rocked into a position below the plane of the running surface of the ski and an actuation portion or component which can be depressed by the ski boot. The brake arm and actuation portion are essentially formed as one-piece from a common spring wire. The brake arm essentially consists of a loop-shaped section of the spring wire, the two legs of which are mounted upon the ski by means of two transversely extending mutually spaced pivot shafts or axes. The actuation portion essentially comprises a wire section merging in a lever-like fashion at one of the two legs.
