US Patent:

Filed:

Appl. No.:
12/461938
Inventors:
Robert Wallace Shutler - Arlington VA, US
International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:
A device for transporting ski equipment such as a single set of skis and poles. The device includes a receiving member that receives the ski tails. The receiving member includes at least one wheel. The receiving member also preferably includes a pair of holes to receive the respective tips of a pair of ski poles. An elastic cord threads around the receiving member and across the bindings of the skis, holding the skis and poles together. A handle attached to the elastic cord provides a grip to pull the carrier and equipment. When not in use the elastic cord can be tucked into the receiving member. The carrier can be small enough to fit into an equipment bag or a locker. The carrier is designed to roll on hard surfaces and also has a curved underside to help it glide across snow. Skis and poles can stay strapped into the carrier and fit into car-top ski racks that are designed to hold skis that are arranged bottom-to-bottom.
