Abstract

"This invention is a versatile snowshoe capable of being modified in shape to suit different terrain. This snowshoe was designed to provide mountain hikers a superior aid in ascending and descending mountains. The hinged end plates are capable of being locked in eight different positions to enable compact size for backpack rear support to avoid back slippage, as well as breakage on the decent. The footplate locks in eight positions to relieve stress on lower legs - providing a stair case effect while climbing. Attachments to the base of the snowshoe provide ice picks, snow baffles and slicks for quick descents. The design of the footplate as well as the hinge configuration enables quick modification of the shoes into a snowboard structure creating a new radical design."

Description

Application Canadian Intellectual Property Otlfiee - Industry Canada TItAC'I' "Thr ention is a versatile snowshoe capable of being modified in shape to .suit different terrain. ~nowshoe was designed to provide mountain hikers a superior aid in ascending and descending untain.s. The hinged end plates are capable of being locked in eight different positions to ble compact size for backpack, rear .support to avoid back slippage, us well as breakage on the ent. I he footplate Cocks in eight positions to relieve stress on lower legs - providing a ,stair ca.. ect while climbing. Attachments to the base of the snowshoe provide ice picks, snow buJ ~ and slicks_for quick descents. Ilre design~of the footplate as well as the hinge configuration bles guick modification of the shoes into a .snowboard structure creating a new radical desy "
SPECIFICATIONS
"T his invention advances the recreational .snowshoe for climbing and descending mountains. "
"It is common in .standard snaw.shoes to be unable to store them in a back pack. Standard snowshoes also cause problems in ascending and descending mountains, e.g., when ascending, the .standard .snowshoe will slip backwards due to a lack of bracing against the snow behind the shoe, also, the chin muscles fatigue quickly due to the heal being lower than the toe, also, standard snowshoes do not enable the hiker to have a choice on climbing apparrel_for the shoes, e.g., ice picks or snow baffels. While descending the toe end plate is often to shallow of angle which causes the hiker to topple over and the hikers toe is to far forward and down to enable a comfortable descent also causing to topple the hiker. The .standard snowshoe does not allow slicks to be fastened on to enable the hiker to slide down the hill on eithier a shoe or board design enabling a quick descent. "
"I have found that these disadvantages may be overcome by providing adjustable end plates which can be locked into a number of positions to enable the shoe to be folded to half its size or positioned to personal preferance to prevent buck or front .slipage. I have found that such items as ice picks and snow baffels aid the hiker with added traction and slicks for rapid descents adding to the recreational sport. the foot plate which locks in several angles enables a stair case .step and the harness provides a locked down toe anchor heal and is capable of reverse orientation for descending in comfort. T he foot plate is designed to enable a boot plate to lock in to create a snowboard foot lock for carving on descent.
"In drawings which illustrate embodiments of tlae invention, Figure I is a top view of the snowshoe complete, Figure 2 is a side view off~'igure I illustrating end plate mobility, Figure 3 is a lap view of the snowshoe in snowboard form, and Figure 4 is a plan view of the harness, and figure 5 are the base assessories.
