Benefits of technology

In light of the aforementioned problems associated with the prior games and devices, it is an object of the present invention to provide a Sport Board Carrying Harness. The harness should be compact enough to allow a user to secure it around his or her waist, or within a small backpack so that it is han

Problems solved by technology

A skateboard is generally smaller than either skis or snowboards, but can still tend to be difficult to handle.
The problem with each of these sports and their equipment stems from the common situation where the user needs to tote his or her equipment to a recreational site prior to actually donning the equipment.
The problem is exacerbated when the user is also wearing bulky cold-weather clothing.
While carrying devices and bags have been ava

first embodiment

FIG. 9 is another view of the harness 10A of the present invention. FIG. 3 provides another view of this device.

FIG. 3 is a back perspective view of the user 26 of FIG. 2. As shown, the buckle halves of the first transverse strap 18A are interconnected to secure the board 24 to the harness 10A above the top binding. The buckles halves of the second transverse strap 18B are interconnected to secure the board 24 to the harness 10A below the bottom binding. The snowboard 24 is therefore securely held to the user's back. The carrying position of the board 24 can be adjusted easily, and due to the protective pad, will not cause pain to the user or damage to the user's clothing.

In order to release the board 24 for use, the user need simply detach the buckle halves of the longitudinal strap 12 to get the assembly off of his back, and then unclip the buckles holding the transverse straps 18A, 18B together. Since the harness 10A is so compact, the user can easily collapse it and pack it away...

second embodiment

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the harness 10B of the present invention. This harness 10B is designed to work particularly well with skis and poles. It has a longitudinal strap 12 and a protective pad 16. In this harness 10B, however, the pad 16 is likely to be longer and thinner than the previously-described harness (10A). Another distinction here is that there is a third transverse strap 18C attached to, and extending from the pad 16. Also, the three transverse straps 18A, 18B, 18C are disposed at locations along the pad 16 that are different than in the first-described harness embodiment. The purpose of these variations will become clear by review of FIG. 5.

FIG. 5 is a side view of the harness 10B of FIG. 4 strapped around a pair of skis 26 and ski poles 28. Here, the first transverse strap 18A is clasping the tail end of the skis 26 to the right of the heel binding. Normally, the first transverse strap 18A would not only clasp the skis 26, but also be encircling the poles 28 as...

third embodiment

FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the harness 10C of the present invention. This harness 10C is designed to be particularly well suited for the hands-free carrying of a skateboard. Here, there is no protective pad, since a skateboard doesn't generally have the sharp edges that exist in skis and snowboards. Furthermore, elimination of the protective pad makes this harness 10C even more compact than the other two versions.

Since there is no protective pad, the longitudinal strap 12 provides the basic structure for the harness 18C. The first, second and third transverse straps 18A, 18B, 18C attach to the longitudinal strap 12. In this version, however, the second and third straps 18B, 18C are actually attached to the longitudinal strap 12 in the same location along the length of the strap 12. This is so that one strap (the third strap 18C) can be used to secure a skateboard to the harness 10C, while the second strap 18B can be strapped around the user's waist like a belt. This arrangement...

Abstract

The harness is compact enough to allow a user to secure it around his or her waist, or within a small backpack so that it is hands-free when not in use. The harness further allows the user to carry skis, a snowboard, a skateboard or other elongate sports equipment behind the back in hands-free fashion. The harness may further provide the user with one or more handles to carry the sports equipment in one hand, if desired.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThis invention relates generally to sporting goods and accessories and, more specifically, to a Sport Board Carrying Harness.2. Description of Related ArtSkiing, snowboarding and skateboarding are extremely popular action sports. Besides requiring coordination, balance and physical strength, these sports all have a common aspect—they each involve the use of fairly bulky equipment. Skiing entails the use of heavy boots, long skis and gangly poles. Snowboarding requires a wide, elongate board having large bindings protruding from its top, as well as large specialty boots. A skateboard is generally smaller than either skis or snowboards, but can still tend to be difficult to handle.The problem with each of these sports and their equipment stems from the common situation where the user needs to tote his or her equipment to a recreational site prior to actually donning the equipment. In the case of skiing and snowboarding, the user migh...
