Title:
SKI BRAKE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5395732
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
Disclosed is a ski brake of the type fixed to the upper surface of a ski. The brake includes a pair of brake shoes on opposite sides of the ski biased into a downward, active braking position, and a counter biasing pedal which holds the brake in an inactive position when held down by a ski boot. The pedal is a U-shaped loop formed by a pair of arms of unequal length and with separate pivot points longitudinally displaced on the ski, so that elastic deformation of the loop when it is pivoted gives rise to a return bias into the braking position. At the U connection between the arms there is provided an adjusting member in the form of a turnbuckle which permits the spacing between the arms to be adjusted to suit the particular width of the ski.
