Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, this dual solution leads to the disadvantage of always having to carry two sets of equipment, and thus have to wear the snowshoes for the uphill section, while the skis are carried on the shoulders, secured to the backpack, and then switched to the downhill section
[0008] On the downside, the weight and size of both sets of equipment makes snow walking more difficult and strenuous
[0009] Also, it takes time to change equipment, and having to stop in the cold can be unpleasant considering the temperatures you're exposed to in the snow

Embodiment Construction

[0054]Referring to the drawings, a snowshoe 1 basically comprises a plate 2, usually made of plastic, which is to be positioned under the user's foot for resting on the snow and distributing his / her weight over a wide surface area.

[0055] Said plate 2 has an upper surface 2' and a lower surface 2".

[0056] Said upper surface 2' is provided with known means for securing the user's feet.

[0057] A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention envisages that the user can wear normal footwear or trekking boots and that said securing means are of a type similar to known bindings used on snowboards, thereby ensuring maximum safety and security for the user's feet. protection as well as maximum versatility of the snowshoe itself.

[0058] On the lower surface 2" of said plate 2, said cleats 3 are alternately made available according to the desired operating configuration for uphill or downhill use.

[0059] For this purpose, said plate 2 comprises a movable structure 4 ...

Abstract

The invention relates to the mountain winter sports equipment sector, and in particular to a snowshoe (1) comprising: - a plate (2) for resting on the snow and distributing a user's weight, having an upper face (2') and a lower face (2"); - means for fixing, at least partially, the user's foot to the upper face (2') of said plate (2); - a plurality of spikes (3), where said plate (2) comprises a mobile structure (4) adapted to make said plurality of spikes (3) alternately available below the lower face (2") of said plate (2), so as to define an uphill and a downhill configuration.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of mountain winter sports equipment, and in particular to snowshoes. Background technique [0002] Snowshoes are devices that enable a user to easily hike on fresh snow because they increase the surface area on which the foot walks, preventing sinking or slipping, and enabling a kind of "float." [0003] Each snowshoe basically consists of a plate adapted to distribute the weight of the user over a wide surface in order to reduce the pressure exerted on the snow. [0004] The snowshoes are also equipped with a device for securing the user's foot to the board, a hinged binding that allows the user to walk in a fairly natural way even when going uphill. [0005] It is also very important that the snowshoe is equipped with multiple metal studs, which protrude from the lower surface of the board, the side facing the ground, to provide better grip on snow and ice, better control of the walking action and as a snow...
