| 280814000 | Clamp, tie, or case for carrying or storage of skis | 12 |
| 20090115182 | Compact ski carrier - A ski gear carrier which enables the carrying of the skis and poles in various positions and the dragging of the skis and poles on different surfaces. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20090230667 | Integrated Pole-to-Ski Coupling Arrangement - An integrated pole-to-ski coupling arrangement that provides coupling formations on a ski pole and ski that releasably connect the pole and ski to create a unitary ski-pole combination that leaves the rear tail of the ski clear and unencumbered. A pole coupling formation may be placed on either the shaft or the grip of the pole, and a ski coupling formation may be placed on the boot bindings or attachments thereto. Optionally, the surface formation of the boot bindings may be employed as ski coupling formations. Multiple pole and ski coupling formations allow for a secure and rigid connection. | 09-17-2009 |
| 20110049856 | Carrier for transporting ski equipment - 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. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110291397 | Ski-Pole Coupling Assembly - The current disclosure presents a ski-pole coupling assembly wherein the attachment point is permanently housed on the ski, does not interfere with skiing activity, and does not become impaired by ice and snow. The current disclosure has a pair of brackets on each ski placed proximate the ski bindings. The brackets are of such height that, when placed on the brackets, the poles are not hindered by the bindings. The poles are removably affixed to the brackets by a flexible securing member, attached to the brackets. The securing members could be attached to the brackets by a number of different methods, such as by snaps, clips, rivets, etc. or a combination thereof. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20120112445 | Ski transport system - A ski transport system may include a pliable cord with a first end and a second end. A loop may be provided on the first and second ends of the cord. A pair of hooks may be movably mounted to the cord, providing at least two degrees of freedom of each hook relative to the cord. One degree of freedom may include movement along the length of the cord between the first end and the second end, the loops provided on the first end and the second end acting as stops to capture the hooks on the cord. The first end of the cord may be wrapped one or more times around a set of skis and poles in one position and the second end of the cord may be wrapped one or more times around the skis and poles at a second position, securing the hooks to the respective loops. The greater the tension in the cord, the greater the frictional force will be exerted on the skis and poles to secure them to the transport system. A user may lift the skis and poles between the first end and the second end of the cord to transport the items. | 05-10-2012 |
| 20120181782 | Device for holding a pair of skis together - A one-piece device for keeping a pair of skis together includes: (a) two opposite outer longitudinal side walls, each including a substantially straight central section; (b) two opposite, substantially straight end walls, an end of each end wall being connected with a corresponding end of one of the longitudinal side walls; (c) an inner longitudinal wall between the outer longitudinal side walls, which is attached at its opposite ends to the opposite end walls, and which includes a substantially straight central section; (d) preferably at least one convolution in each of the outer longitudinal side walls, and at least one convolution in the inner longitudinal wall; and (e) the inner longitudinal wall dividing an interior of the ski holder device into two substantially equal sized, ski-receiving, open-ended channels. This simplified abstract is not intended to limit, and should not be interpreted as limiting, the scope of the claims. | 07-19-2012 |
| 20130168952 | INTEGRATED POLE-TO-SKI-COUPLING ARRANGMENT - An integrated pole-to-ski coupling arrangement that provides coupling formations on a ski pole and ski that releasably connect the pole and ski to create a unitary ski-pole combination that leaves the rear tail of the ski clear and unencumbered. A pole coupling formation may be placed on either the shaft or the grip of the pole, and a ski coupling formation may be placed on the boot bindings or attachments thereto. Optionally, the surface formation of the boot bindings may be employed as ski coupling formations. Multiple pole and ski coupling formations allow for a secure and rigid connection. | 07-04-2013 |
| 20140291976 | Portable Snow Sports Equipment Locker - A portable snow sports equipment locker is disclosed. The portable snow sports equipment locker features a varying depth and tapered shape. A pair of doors allows access to the interior of the portable snow sports equipment locker. Optional wheels assist in transport of the portable storage locker. Various interior pockets and straps organize equipment. A lock holds skis and/or snowboards in place. An optional boot bag offers separate storage for boots and provides an additional mechanism for holding skis and/or snowboards in place. A telescoping embodiment allows portable snow sports equipment locker to assume either a collapsed or extended configuration. The size of the disclosed portable snow sports equipment locker offers ample room for skis/snowboards, and related equipment while remaining within the size limits for conventional freight charges. The rigid construction provides protection for stored equipment, while also allowing convenient storage and access options. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20150321073 | Collapsible Ski Caddy - A collapsible ski caddy which both transports skis and poles in a caddy configuration and is easily transportable itself in a collapsed configuration. The collapsible ski caddy generally includes a frame having a first telescopic member and a second telescopic member in parallel relationship. A base and one or more connectors link the telescopic members in a spaced-apart configuration. The base may itself be collapsible and includes a pair of wheels. The connectors include hinged locking members for removably securing skis against the frame. The connectors may also include pole retainers for removably securing poles against the frame. The present invention is easily interchangeable between a caddy configuration for transporting the skis and poles and a collapsed configuration for transporting the present invention itself. | 11-12-2015 |
| 20160166913 | DEVICE FOR TOWING A BOARD FOR BOARD SPORTS | 06-16-2016 |
| 20160184689 | Ski Carrier Clamp - A ski carrier clamp mountable on a cross bar of a vehicle roof carrier is provided. The ski carrier clamp includes an elongate base part carrying a first flexible clamp member extending in the longitudinal direction of the elongate base part, and an elongate top part having a second flexible clamp member extending in the longitudinal direction of the elongate top part. The elongate top part is movably coupled to the elongate base part so that the second flexible clamp member is movable with respect to the first flexible clamp member. The first flexible clamp member and the second flexible clamp member are arranged such that at least portions thereof are able to laterally pass each other upon moving the elongate base part and the elongate top part towards each other. | 06-30-2016 |
| 280815000 | Prevents warp, maintains camber, or conforms to ski shape | 1 |
| 20120319391 | Ski Storage System and Method - A ski storage system may include a first sleeve length of elastic material having a first aperture configured to receive a first ski. A second sleeve length of elastic material may include a second aperture configured to receive a second ski. A hanging fastener may be positioned in between and configured to vertically suspend the first and the second sleeve lengths. | 12-20-2012 |
