Abstract
A brake device for skis wherein a pair of levers are pivotally mounted on a bracket mounted on the upper surface of the ski. Each of the levers is composed of two arms wherein one arm functions as a brake wing and the other arm functions as a control element. Projections are provided on the ski binding which cooperate with the lever arms functioning as the control elements to control the movement of the levers during a pivotal movement of the ski binding to the ready or cocked position. As a result, the ski brake is held in the cocked or ready position by the ski binding mechanism rather than directly by the ski boot.
