Carrying device for skis

The invention relates to a carrying device for the manual transport of individual and / or paired skis.

It is common practice to use skis on routes that which do not allow their intended use or at least make it more difficult, placing their focus on to transport the shoulder. There is, however, the risk that by each in front of and behind the focus area mounted binding systems, namely the front or toe binding or the rear or heel binding, in particular as a result by carelessness, items of clothing, e.g. the anorak, are torn or damaged. Furthermore, accidents can easily occur especially if the person carrying the skis is around other people carelessly or unintentionally Makes movements.

Even when using chairlifts, e.g. for operational reasons The handling of the prepares for reasons that the skis cannot or may not be connected to the ski boots loose skis, especially during the entry and exit phase, often difficulties. That can hurt yourself or the lift staff. Otherwise, the clothing is also easily soiled when the skis are carried on the shoulder after use or after transporting the car.

The purpose of the invention is to address these shortcomings. It is therefore the aim of the invention to provide a carrying device of the generic type for skis that, when permanently connected to them, their intended use not impaired, but at the same time the manual transport of individual skis and skis held together in pairs is considerable relieved.

The set goal is achieved according to the characteristics of the Claim 1 by at least one mountable on the top of the ski in the area of the toe binding and the heel binding, flat bearing and / or guide plate for a handle, e.g. B. Handlebar, which in its rest position, at least approximately across the entire width of the ski, in a space between the top of the ski and the top of the bearing or guide plate lies, while it protrudes relative to the bearing and / or guide plate in a beyond a longitudinal edge of the respective ski Position of use is adjustable.

Equipping skis with such a carrying device proves to be particularly advantageous when the attachment is carried out on the ski in or at least in the vicinity of its center of gravity - where the binding system is also regularly located - because then, namely, energy-saving transport can take place, regardless of whether pairs of skis held together in one hand or the individual skis separately be held in both hands. The handling safety is thereby considerably improved.

According to the invention, a proves to be particularly advantageous Carrying device, in which according to claim 2-the handle as Folding bracket is formed, which can be pivoted in the respective near a longitudinal edge of the ski and about an axis parallel thereto Bearing and / or guide plate sits and in the rest position with its legs, the transverse edges and with its web

comprises the opposite longitudinal edge of this bearing and / or guide plate.

It is readily apparent that with such a configuration of the carrying device, the handle when it is intended Use of the skis through the ski boots fixed on them by the binding system in its rest position on the top of the ski is set and thus can not inadvertently protrude over the longitudinal edges of the skis, as long as they are with the ski boots stay in contact.

So that the skis can be transported comfortably if these are held together in pairs and in the area of the binding system due to the built-in Pretension with their sole surfaces gape considerably apart, it is in an embodiment of the invention according to claim It is important that the handle or folding bracket · between its rest position and its position of use by more than 180 °, z. B. to is mounted pivotably to 210 ° and more, relative to the bearing and / or guide plate. This allows the handles or The folding bars of both skis are, so to speak, in a roof-like manner against each other over the longitudinal edges of the ski and are there together with the fingers and also with a gloved hand can be safely grasped.

The individual transport of the skis with the aid of the invention Carrying device is facilitated according to claim 4, if the handle or folding handle - with a rigid training in itself near its longitudinal axis on the legs is provided with an approximately Z-shaped offset, which is in the position of use of the handle or folding bracket with its central web engages around the upper longitudinal edge of the ski and, if necessary, against the adjacent one Long side surface of the ski can be applied.

The front or toe binding is 2 on the The top of the ski 1 is assigned a slide plate 3 in the usual way, which reduces the frictional resistance of the sole of the ski boot in the area of the boot tip and thus the triggering effect the front or toe binding 2 favors.

From Fig. 1 it is further apparent that on the top of the ski behind the front or toe binding 2, i. H. so in the area between the front or toe binding 2 and the associated (but not shown) heel binding a flat bearing and / or guide plate 4 is mounted, for example by means of several screws 5 is attached. The arrangement of the bearing and / or guide plate 4 is such that it is largely symmetrical Has alignment to the focus area 6 of the ski 1. The thickness of the bearing and / or guide plate 4 is slight dimensioned smaller than the effective thickness of the slide plate 3, so that the friction-reducing function of the latter is not impaired will.

1 to 3 it can be seen that the width of the bearing and / or guide plate 4 is smaller than the width of the ski 1. Furthermore, it can be seen from these figures that the Bearing and / or guide plate 4 is mounted offset on one side on the top of the ski 1, in such a way that its one Longitudinal edge 4 'to a certain extent flush with the longitudinal edge 1' of the Skis 1 terminates, while their other longitudinal edge is 4 "from the adjacent longitudinal edge 1 ″ of the ski 1 has a greater distance. The assembly on skis of different widths is thereby possible.
