Abstract: The invention describes a ski binding (1), with guide elements (8, 9) which can be mounted or pre-fitted on a ski (3) in the binding longitudinal direction (10), for a front and a rear jaw body (4, 5). A first coupling element (15) is connected to the front jaw body (4) and a second coupling element (16) is connected to the rear jaw body (5). Mutually facing end portions (17, 18) of these coupling elements (15, 16) co-operate with a positioning and fixing mechanism (14) disposed between the jaw bodies (4, 5) in order to adjust and retain the jaw body (4, 5) as necessary. An overlap width (19) between the two coupling elements (15, 16) can be varied to make an individual adjustment for different jaw distances (12). At least one coupling element (15, 16) is provided with at least two mutually parallel rows (21, 22, 23) of positioning elements (20), and these positioning element-rows (21, 22, 23) are disposed offset from one another in the binding longitudinal direction (10).

Catch elements (23, 24) are provided respectively on mutually facing inner sides and an oppositely lying outer sides of the brake arms (10) and a catch element (23) dispersed at least on the inner sides can be moved into a positive connection with at least one co-operating catch element (24) disposed on the outer sides in order to produce a higher resistance to counteract mutually crossing assembled brake arms (10) of two brake mechanisms (3) from sliding apart from one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ski brake (1) for braking a ski (2) detached from a sports shoe, with a bearing device (3) for a brake lever arrangement (4) for placing on the upper side (5) of a ski (2). The brake lever arrangement (4) comprises brake levers (8, 9) arranged essentially symmetrically relative to the longitudinal middle axis (7) of the ski (2), which each have actuating arms (10, 11) and brake arms (12, 13). The brake arms (12, 13) project relative to the bearing device (3) and are pivotable over at least one pivot axis (15, 16) from a position of readiness located above the running surface (17) of the ski (2) by the force of a spring device (18) into a brake position projecting under the running surface (17). The actuating arms (10, 11) extend from the bearing device (3) in a direction facing away from the brake arms (12, 13) and are connected by a pivot bearing arrangement (21) with a foot plate (22) that can be loaded by the sole of a sports shoe.
