AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a device that helps skiers easily transport their skis from the starting point to the ski slopes without needing anything extra. The device is lightweight and flexible, and is designed to fit the shape of the ski. This ensures that the skier does not experience any negative effects on the ski's vibration modes. Overall, the invention provides a more convenient and comfortable skiing experience for the skier.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, skiers must still transport their equipment from the parking lot areas to the bottom of the ski lift.
For that walk, they have to carry their heavy skis by hand or on their shoulders, that requires a huge effort, in particular for children.
It also requires a huge effort considering the walking with heavy confining ski boots, especially for children.
In addition, skis transported on the shoulders, for example, pose a considerable risk of injury for both the person carrying and also those in their environment due to their weight and their swiveling range (bulky, painful and dangerous for others).
Small children particularly suffer, when they are required to handle the heavy load by themselves, they can be seen trudging along, the skis often separate from each other and “escape” to the sides.
The traditional mode of transportation (as wearing skis on the shoulder) may dirty or damage the skier's outfit.
Adding an additional element to already important number of ski elements is not convenient for skiers.

first embodiment

[0065]FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of the rail n. 6a) and the axle n. 7 and the wheel n. 5. FIG. 3 shows that the axle n. 7 of the first exemplary embodiment is composed of two tubes, which are compatible to each other in size and shape. The elastic device inner tube can move lengthwise within the elastic device outer tube. Within the elastic device outer tube, there is disposed a spring, which is designated to assist in going from closed mode, which is suitable for skiing, to open mode, which is suitable for carrying after deployment of wheel 5.

second embodiment

[0066]FIG. 4 is a schematic illustration of the receptacle n. 6b) and the axle n. 7 and the wheel n. 5. According to the present invention, the close mode (folded mode) is illustrated by FIG. 4a and the open mode (deployed mode) is illustrated by FIG. 4b. The collapsible wheel device n. 4 includes either a rail n. 6a) or a receptacle n. 6b) and an axle n. 7, with release knob n. 8) disposed at its middle part.

[0067]The receptacle n. 6b) is connected to the ski upper surface n.) by means of strong adhesive (such as super or thermic-resistant glue), or any other suitable means [ideally not with screws in order to safeguard the integrity of the ski].

[0068]Connection of the rail n. 6a) or the receptacle n. 6b) to the wheel n. 5) is achieved by an axle n. 7). The wheel n. 5) is rotably mounted upon its stub axles n. 7). The axle n. 7) supports the wheel n. 5), which can be, for example, of a rubber construction.

[0069]They are also locked by means of release knob n. 8, which makes “non-vo...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for manually transporting by rolling or sliding, pushing or pulling, skis or the like as a pair, on any kind of surfaces, with a pair of independent collapsible wheels, each wheel attached to a different ski from the pair, the wheels can be folded and deployed, enabling safe skiing when the wheels are folded and carrying the ski upon the ground with the assistance of the wheels, when they are deployed and the skis attached together as a pair. The device is permanently mounted on the ski. The wheels are made from light material, such as rubber or plastics. The ski can also have a holder or fastener at the opposite end for fixing a pulling or pushing aid.

Description

0. OBJECT AND / OR DOMAIN OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to the field of skiing. More particularly, the present invention relates to a device for an easy transportation of the ski on any kind of surface.1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a device for carrying provided for movement on any kind of surfaces to help the locomotion (for manually transporting by rolling or sliding, pushing or pulling, any pair of skis without effort) intended pairwise together, board-like means of transport, in particular skis or the like, with a pair of collapsible wheels, which can be folded and deployed, enabling safe skiing when the wheels are folded and carrying the ski upon the ground with the assistance of the wheels, when they are deployed and with another ski connected to it.[0003]The device is mounted on each upper surface of the tail end of two skis or on the front end of the ski that allows the skis to be transported when the bottom...
