Abstract
A pair of skis are secured together by providing notched blades of a ski brake designed to prevent free flight of the ski down a slope, e.g. upon the falling of a skier. The notches in the blades are dimensioned so that when the blades straddle the respective skis, the notches of the blades of each pair of brake elements can receive the longitudinal edges of the other ski of the respective pair so that the skis are held in runner-to-runner relationship.
Claims14
A device for securing the skies of a pair together, each of said skis having a pair of longitudinal edges, comprising:
- a ski brake mounted on one of said ski and including an actuator, a brake element in the form of an elongated blade operatively connected with said actuator for displacement thereby into a position wherein said blade element extends athwart a longitudinal edge of said one of said skis, and spring means biasing said actuator and said brake element into said operative position;
- and
- a notch formed along an inner edge of said blade and adapted to receive the longitudinal edge of the other ski when said skis are position in runner-to-runner relationship and said ski brake is in its operative position.
