Abstract
A ski brake, which is equipped with at least one brake arm, a foot element and a spring-loaded articulated lever system arranged between the brake arm and the foot element, has a sliding crank as the articulated lever system. The crank is connected with the brake arm and the coupler forms the foot element. A sliding element is arranged spring-loaded in a housing. Joints between the foot element and the sliding element can be arranged at different levels relative to the surface of the ski. If two brake arms are used, they are connected with each other by way of a U-shaped intermediate zone.
