Title:
SKI BRAKE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5442225
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A ski brake for use on a ski having a mounting structure adapted to be mounted on the ski and a pedal structure pivotally secured to the mounting structure. The pedal structure includes a pair of laterally spaced and elongated guideways opening outwardly in a bottom surface thereof opposing the upper surface of the ski. The guideways each have at least a pair of angled segments. A pair of ski brake arms is pivotally secured to the mounting structure for movement about a universal type pivot joint with the ends remote from the snow engaging ends having angled guide segments received in the respective one of the guideways in the pedal. There is an operative connection between the pedal and the guide segments on the ski brake arms for preventing a separation of these members during use. Resilient structure is provided for continually urging the pedal to an upright position to effect a positioning of the snow engaging ends of the ski brake arms beneath the bottom surface of the ski. The guideways control the movement of the guide segments on the ski brake arms as the pedal is moved against the urging of the resilient structure to effect a positioning of the snow engaging ends of the ski brake arms over the upper surface of the ski when the ski brake is in a retracted position.
