Benefits of technology

[0008]It is an aspect of certain embodiments of the present invention to provide a snowskate apparatus wherein the offset between the deck and sliding surface are not prone to snow accumulation.
[000

Problems solved by technology

Such snowskates result in an apparatus wherein there is a gap between the deck and the sliding surface, and a sliding surface which flexes with the surface of the snow while the deck remains rigid.
The gap between the sliding surface and the deck results in accumulation of snow.
Furthermore, the gap between the sliding surface and the deck—particularly at a front or rear aspect of the snowskate—can catch on objects such as a slid

Example

[0021]Referring to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 2, a snowskating apparatus 1000 comprises a deck 1100, a pillar 1200, and a base 1300. The deck 1100 is intended for a user to stand upon a top aspect 1103, the base 1300 provides a bottom aspect 1304 for gliding upon a low-friction surface, and the pillar 1200 provides support and offset between the deck 1100 and the base 1300. A top aspect 1203 of the pillar is configured to interconnect with a bottom aspect 1104 of the deck, and a bottom aspect 1204 of the pillar is configured to interconnect with a top aspect 1303 of the base. The deck 1100, pillar 1200, and base 1300 are interconnected to provide a unitary body for gliding travel upon a low-friction surface. Although embodiments shown herein surround the interconnection of three components to result in a unitary snowskating apparatus 1000, it will be appreciated that embodiments wherein one or more components are further separated into sub...

Abstract

The present invention is directed to an apparatus for travel upon ice, snow, or similar low-friction inducing surface to mimic the activity of skateboarding. The present invention uses a pillar component disposed between a deck and base for the interconnection and support of the base and deck.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 62 / 788,783 entitled “SNOWSKATE WITH SLOPED PILLAR AND BASE” filed on Jan. 5, 2019 the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention is directed to an apparatus for travel upon ice, snow, or similar low-friction inducing surface to mimic the activity of skateboarding. The present invention uses a pillar component disposed between a deck and base for the interconnection and support of the base and deck.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Snowskating, an adaptation of a skateboard to travel on surfaces which a snowboard is typically configured for, is commonly accepted as a hybrid between a skateboard and snowboard. A snowskate allows a rider to travel on snow, ice, or similar low-friction inducing surfaces as one would with a snowboard, but allow increased mobility and agi...
