Abstract
A ski guard is formed of an elastically tiltable stirrup made of a plastics material with a holding member formed as a part of the stirrup. The holding member maintains the stirrup member in the upright position on a ski by securing its support surface in contact with the upper surface of a base member which attached the stirrup to a ski. When the stirrup tilts or pivots, the support surface on the holding member moves over a boundary surface on the base member overcoming a dead-center position. Movement beyond the dead-center position takes place because of the deflection of a part of the holding member spaced from the support member. Axle journals in spaced axial alignment pivotally mount the stirrup on the base member and permit the location of a large locking element between them for detachably fastening the base member on a fastening plate.
