DE2653701A1 - Coupled skis for learner skiers - has pivoted bar connecting pair of skis which prevents skis crossing over each other - Google Patents

Abstract

A pair of skis ar coupled together by a cross bar which is pivoted at each end to a vertical rod. The vertical rods are mounted in cylinders fixed to the skis at about 10 to 20 cm from the end. The rods are retained in the cylinders by cap nuts which allow the rods to rotate about their vertical axes. The coupled skis have thus a limited degree of movement relative to each other in the longitudinal and vertical directions and can also rotate to a limited degree relative to each other. But the skis are unable to cross over each other and so are very useful for people learning to ski and reduce the chance of accidents.

Description

TANDEM SKIS

The purpose of my invention is to connect 2 skis of conventional design in such a way that that these no longer cross each other either at the front or at the back or at the front and back and this means a great relief for the ski student, but him not hindered in the necessary movement of the skis and thus also safety increased when skiing.

On both skis, in front of or behind the binding, the Production or also subsequently installed vertical guide cylinders.

A horizontally rotatable pin (slide bearing made of self-lubricating materials) which, before the exception, is Screw is secured.

There is a joint on the upper part of the pin Allows vertical movement. A tie bar is placed between the joints of the left and right skis mounted.

This rod can be demountable in its center, shock-absorbing Have an effect and be adjustable in distance. It may be necessary to use the swivel joints to block from a certain angular opening.

The two skis can now be weighted in the desired area moved even though they are connected.

I want ~ these tandem skis (tandem because both skis are "connected next to each other" support each other in their effect) as a teaching sports device for a new ski teaching method use. This teaching method is based on the use of these tandem skis and leads to faster and safer learning of simple and higher swing shapes and an elegant driving style.

But the device should also be available for fun for experts.

In a way, the Parablacks have become alienated from their purposes It has already been tried and tested to prevent the skis from crossing over, but preventing them from tilting to the outside cannot be prevented in contrast to my invention.

With the monoski, only one edge grips, the statics are unfavorable, that A feeling of light weight to ski this type of ski requires expert performance.

Advantages: j) Double edge grip against monoskis 2) The student will the skis are easier to guide, they can focus more on other important criteria focus.

3) Reduction of the accident rate, in particular twisting breaks because crossing over the skier then

Claims (4)

PROTECTION CLAIMS 1. Should be placed under protection mainly the connection of 2 skis of conventional design by means of one or more connecting elements (Connecting rods stored in joints) to an independent sports device Tandem skis. 2. The connecting rod can be unscrewed as well as after Be built up shock absorber principle. It can be made from any material. The joints can be of various types, in particular a cover the connecting elements for security reasons may be necessary. 4. The joints can be rotated in all directions, at which angle is reserved.
