Embodiment Construction

[0020]With reference to the above figures, 4 globally indicates a snowshoe comprising an upper side 8, suitable to be fixed to a ski boot and a lower side 12, suitable to interface with the terrain. In addition, the snowshoe comprises a frame provided with a pair of lateral struts 16,18, positioned on opposite sides A, B in relation to a centreline plane M-M of the frame, directed along a main longitudinal direction X-X.

[0021]The lateral struts 16,18 each extend from a front end 20 to a rear end 24, each lateral strut 16,18 extending on only one of said opposite sides A,B in relation to the centreline plane M-M.

[0022]In correspondence of said front and rear ends 20,32, the frame respectively comprises a front crossbeam 24 and a rear crossbeam 32 which mechanically connect said ends 20,24 to each other, the crossbeams 28,32 being positioned astride the centreline plane M-M.

[0023]The lateral struts 16,18 and the front and rear ends 20,24, are made of different materials and / or have di...

Abstract

Snowshoe with upper side fixable to a ski boot and lower side interface-able with terrain, a frame having a pair of lateral struts, arranged on opposite sides of the frame's centreline plane, directed along a prevailing direction of the longitudinal axis, the side members extending from a front end to a rear end, each side member extending on an opposite side with respect to the centreline plane. In correspondence with front and rear ends, respectively, the frame includes front and rear crossbeams that mechanically connect said ends with each other, the crossbeams arranged astride the centreline plane. Lateral struts, front and rear ends are made of different materials and / or have different shapes or thicknesses so the lateral struts have increased rigidity versus the front / rear ends. The snowshoe comprises a central body mechanically connected to the lateral struts and having at least one central crampon positioned on the lower side.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to Italian Patent Application No. BS2014A000025, filed Jan. 23, 2014, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF APPLICATION[0002]This invention relates to a snowshoe and its method of construction.[0003]The snowshoe is a tool that allows walking easily on fresh snow because it increases the surface tread upon and, thus, also the “floatation” typically used in activities of hiking on snow-covered environment.[0004]Snowshoes are also suitable for use on icy terrain because provided with crampons that increase their grip on the terrain.BACKGROUND[0005]In the technology sector, two types of snowshoes are known.[0006]The first type involves the construction of a continuous perimeter frame, closed according to a substantially elliptical or oblong geometric shape that serves as an anchor for a central or internal structure for support and gripping the terrain. This centra...
