Abstract
The invention concerns a ski brake consisting of a two-part wire bail of which the individual bail pieces are bent or angled off several times, comprising also two wire brake-arms, said ski brake pivoting against the force of at least one erecting spring from a braking position into a ready position wherein the free ends of the two wire brake-arms are pivoted toward the longitudinal ski axis, i.e. are retracted above the top side of the ski or pivoted-in. The ski brake includes an actuation pedal which is depressed by a ski boot and of which the lower side forms at least in part a guide for segments of both bail pieces, the two mutually facing segments of the wire brake-arms supporting a connecting spring. In the invention, the connecting spring (7) comprises a cross-rod (7c) whereby it rests on or in a guide path (2e) of the base plate (2). In the braking position, the connecting spring (7c) rests at least in part against the front limit wall (4h) of a passage (4b) of the actuation pedal (4 ). Two leg-springs are provided as the erecting spring (8). The connecting spring may also consist of an essentially U-shaped plastic spring (as seen in front view).
