Embodiment Construction

[0023] Referring initially to FIG. 1, a ski carrying device 1 comprises two straps 2, 3. Each strap 2, 3 is manufactured from a flexible, woven material which is substantially nylon based. Any other flexible material of strength suitable for carrying a pair of skis may alternatively be used. The straps 2, 3 may be provided with indicia such as a trade name or manufacturer name. Such indicia could be printed onto the straps 2, 3 or interwoven integrally with the straps 2, 3.

[0024] Strap 2 has one end secured to a female part 4 of a quick release buckle of well known construction. The end of the strap 2 is fed through the female part 4 and is secured to the strap 2 using a sliding length adjuster 5. The length adjuster 5 is used in known manner to lengthen or shorten the effective length of the strap 2. The opposite end of the strap 2 has a first loop 6 fixedly secured thereto, the first loop 6 being formed by looping the end of the strap back on itself and stitching the looped end t...

Abstract

A ski carrying device including a carrying strap having a first end with first and second loops. The first loop is captive to the second loop in chain formation so that the loops can pivot freely relative to one another. Alternatively, the loops can be fixed together. The first loop is adapted to be looped around a pair of skis to retain the skis together, and the second loop is adapted to be looped around part of a boot binding on one of the skis, to support the weight of the skis when the carrying strap is picked up. A second end of the strap carries at least another loop adapted to be looped around another part of the pair of skis.

Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a ski carrying device, and particularly, but not exclusively, relates to a ski carrying device for enabling a user to carry a pair of skis hands free. [0004] 2. Prior Art [0005] It has previously been proposed to provide a ski carrying device to facilitate carrying a pair of skis when not being used. Previous devices have included a Velcro™, strip which may be fastened about the pair of skis to form a loop. A user can fasten a Velcro™ strip at each end of the skis to prevent the skis from coming apart. A carrying handle may be provided, the ends of which are secured to the Velcro™ loops to enable the secured skis to be picked up once the Velcro™ has been attached. [...
