The invention is a device for assembling, transporting, displaying, packaging, carrying and, or, securing any desired combination of equipment such as skis, poles and boots. The device includes oppositely disposed equipment retainer means symmetrically related and movably mounted in a mutually aligned relationship relative to a base member. Said retainer means being selectively adjustable to allow any desired combination of said equipment, or the like, to be retained therewith. Manipulatable securing means is provided such that the said retainer means may be adjusted to accommodate various equipment sizes and also to provide a method whereby the consequential assembling of any combination of said equipment causes said equipment to be releasably secured therewith and further providing means incorporated into the same device for locking said device with a cable type security lock, or the like.

Improved methods are described for assembling any combination of equipment, such as boots, skis and poles, into releasable assemblage for optionally displaying, merchandizing, storing, carrying, transporting, securing and, or, locking. The arrangements disclosed provide for automatic adjustment to accommodate any size skis, boots and, or, poles resulting from the cooperative relationship between each of the members. The hand grasp has disposed therewith a manipulatable adjustment and securing member snap fastened therewith and including oppositely disposed pivotally mounted boot retainers each snap-in fastened for rotatable motion therewith. The improvement includes an upper pole-lower boot retainer member cooperating with an upper ski-lower pole retainer member both of which are slidably supported on a centrally located column member. The column member may be bipartitely constructed in two halves and snap fastened together with the upper cap and lower ski support retainer members. The adjusting means may be snap fastened onto the handle structure for rotation motion relative thereto.

A vehicle energy conservation indicating device comprising an integrated instrument cluster functioning basically as a nomographic computing mechanism. The odometer distance traveled indicator computing mechanism is linked with the fuel indicating gauge mechanism such that a three variable equation computing mechanism is obtained. The three variables are distance traveled, quantity of fuel consumed and distance traveled per unit of fuel consumed. Energy conservation is achieved by operating the vehicle under such performance conditions as to produce the highest possible value for distance traveled per unit of fuel consumed. The instrument panel cluster brings the operator's attention to focus upon and continuously stimulated to conserving energy. Furthermore, the vehicle energy conservation indicating device can be adapted for recording these performance variables on tape type print out. The speedometer advises the vehicle operator when he is obeying or breaking the speed laws which are enforced and monitored by the police with specific punishment prescribed for violations of the law.

The invention is a single, integral device for carrying and/or securing any desired combination of equipment such as skis, boots and poles. The device includes a pair of cooperable retainer cradle carriages, each movably mounted onto a central structural mounting column, one of the carriage cradle modules being adapted to cooperate with a base to form a pair of ski and pole magazine chambers. The structural mounting column is provided with a hand grasp handle at its upper extremity for holding the device during carrying. The novel configuration provides in a single device the means for carrying and/or securing skis, poles and boots. The invention has the additional novel feature of providing simultaneous means for securing, with one lock, any combination of ski equipment including skis, poles and boots. The unique physical relationship of the skis, poles and boots, while attached to the device, provides a stable, streamline and beneficial center of gravity highly conducive to user safety, compact storage and ease of handling.
