Title: Ski binding incorporating a ski brake

Abstract: A ski binding exemplified by a heel binding has an inbuilt brake of the kind which utilizes pivoted brake arms to dig into the snow to stop a lost ski. A resetting lever is provided to pivotally return the brake arms to their inoperative position. The resetting lever is generally in the form of a hoop passing around the back of the binding housing and connected to a shaft passing through the binding housing. Mechanisms including stops are disclosed which allow a skier to reset the brake arms by either pushing or pulling on the lever.
