Abstract

This ski brake (1) has two wire brake arms (7) which are pivotally mounted on a base plate (2) and whose end sections (7d) are linked together by a connecting spring (8), whereby the ski brake (1), in its standby position, is held against the top of the ski by an actuating treadle (5) pressed down against the force of at least one mounting spring (6), and whereby the free ends (7a) of the wire brake arms (7) are swung in toward the longitudinal axis of the ski (10). In order in this ski brake (1) to improve, during the pressing down of the actuating treadle, the flux of force from the base plate (2) onto the wire brake arms (7), the invention provides that there is hinged to the end sections (7d) a connecting link (9) comprised of a cylindrical sleeve (9a) with an extension (9b) joined thereto, with the latter being braced in the standby position against a supporting surface (2f) of the base plate (2).
