Abstract

A ski brake of the type having a pair of brake arms and a boot plate which, when depressed, holds the brake arms in an in-use skiing position and which, when released, enables the brake arms to pivot to an in-use braking position under application of spring force, the brake arms partially overlying the top surface of the ski in the in-use skiing position, is improved with respect to the manner in which the ends of the brake arms are transversely pulled-in during movement to said in-use skiing position. According to a preferred embodiment, this improvement comprises the provision of control elements for achieving the transverse pulling-in of the braking arms that comprise right-angular shoulders on a bearing plate and diverging wire sections on an actuating part of the ski brake.
