| 20100001491 | DEVICE USED AS A CLIMBING AID - The present invention concerns a device comprising a supporting device as a climbing aid for a ski, the supporting device having at least two supporting positions, in which the supporting device prevents a boot that is held in a ski binding from being lowered below a climbing angle between the boot and the ski that is associated with the respective supporting position. It also comprises an adjusting device, which is actively connected to the supporting device and can be directly or indirectly actuated by a user. The device is distinguished by the fact that the adjusting device is formed in such a way that, in an adjusting process, it can move the supporting device from a current supporting position into a new supporting position, the adjusting process being initiated with a time delay in relation to an actuation of the adjusting device. The adjusting device is in this case formed in such a way that, following actuation, it can be kept in an actuated state during a time interval that can be determined by the user and, in particular, the adjusting process is initiated when or after the actuated state is discontinued. The adjusting device preferably comprises a measuring device, which is formed in such a way that a longitudinal inclination of the ski can be determined in a measuring process and, in particular, the determined longitudinal inclination of the ski can be compared in the adjusting device with a current neutral position of the ski associated with the current supporting position. Also preferably provided is a control device, with which the measuring process of the measuring device can be restricted to a desired window of time. | 01-07-2010 |

| 20150021880 | Control System for Downhill Skis - A control system for downhill skis enables effective, continuous control of ski-to-surface resistance, to accommodate changing steepness and other conditions during a downhill ski run. Controllably positionable brake elements are mounted on the skis, centrally between the side edges thereof. Positioning motors are mounted on each ski and are operable to controllably project or retract the brake elements relative to the ski bottoms, continuously or in finite increments, allowing the skier to maintain a safe and comfortable skiing experience over almost any ski slope under a wide variety of ski conditions. The braking elements, preferably blade-like and oriented at right angles to the ski axis, are positioned close to the skier's feet, allowing the skis to be easily controlled in turns and other maneuvers. A spring-loaded, hinged mounting arrangement allows the mechanisms to momentarily pivot to retracted positions whenever the braking elements engage a rock or other immovable object. | 01-22-2015 |
