Abstract

In a ski brake with brake arms (12) and actuating arms (14) a pedal (16) is mounted to the actuating arms (14) about a second transverse axis (15). A linkage arrangement (17) is provided approximately parallel to the actuating arms (14) and is pivotally connected to the pedal (16) about a third transverse axis (18) and to the ski about a fourth transverse axis (19). The fact that the spacing of the second transverse axis (15) from the third transverse axis (18) is somewhat smaller than the spacing between the first transverse axis (13) and the fourth transverse axis (19) means that the pedal (16) can execute a small counter-pivotal movement on transfer of the ski brake from the braking position into the rest position.
