Steerable monoski

The invention relates to a steerable monoski for practicing winter sports.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a driving experience similar to that of skiing, while making the activity easier to learn and master, particularly due to the ability to steer.

In addition to the usual ski equipment, so-called monoskis have also been known for some time. With these, steering is done purely by shifting the weight, which requires a lot of practice, since the sideways position means there are no poles or other aids to balance the weight. Ski devices are also known in which a second steering ski is arranged in front of a single ski on a frame similar to a child's scooter (P 2429 452.8 and P 2521 857.9 Class A 63 C 5-o6).

The fact that these devices have not proven themselves in practice may be due to the fact that the entire arrangement was too complex, looked too similar to a child's scooter and was not designed to be suitable for winter sports.

The invention is based on the task of developing a fully functional steerable monoski in which the aspects of optimal function, economic manufacturing and attractive design are fully taken into account through a completely new arrangement.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the standing surface in the front area is connected to the tip of the ski via an axis which is extended upwards and designed as a handlebar.

Another embodiment of the invention is that the connection between the standing surface and the handlebars is made from one piece. The handlebars only serve as a support when driving, with the bending of the handlebars itself being achieved by shifting the weight. This requires a somewhat sportier driving style.

In order to achieve a secure footing on the standing surface, this can be done by placing a ledge in the front and on the side!

This means that no special shoes or bindings are required.* In addition, you have enough grip to, for example,
in the ski lift to the top iiiiieheh CLOSE let go.

Various embodiments are shown in the drawings. They show ; |

FIG. 1 View of a steerable Flonoski, where the connection 1 from the standing surface (i) to the handlebar (2) is made of one piece. &rgr; The stylized person shows a possible size comparison. f

FIG 2 View of a steerable monoski, with the base (1) in the front area connected to the ski tip (4) via an axle (3)

which is extended upwards and acts as a handlebar (2) - I

The illustration shows a slight steering angle I

to the left. J

FIG.3 Sectional view of the connection on the axle (3). 1 The top plate (6) and the bottom plate (7,) * are attached to the base (1). A rivet bolt (5) with a collar turned on both sides
connects the two plates with a certain gap,

in which the ski tip (4) is mounted with little play. The ,

Bore of the ski tip (4) is reinforced by a bearing sleeve (&thetas;). |

For better sliding, the upper and lower plates can each be attached to &rgr;

the sliding surfaces can be Teflon coated, for example* |

F IG.4 The standing area is in the front area and on the sides 1

raised by a bead (9). I

In addition, a design of a brake is shown, consisting of

a brake bracket (io) which can rotate in the holder (11);

is mounted and is held in an upper basic position, for example by a torsion spring (12)* If the brake bracket (1o) is stepped on, the outer parts of the bracket engage with the ground.

Another brake design is shown below, where
the brake plate (io*) is made of spring steel sheet, for example i&L·. The function is as previously described*
Likewise, the brake plate (1&ogr;') could also be slightly above the rear
end of the standing area and be closed at the rear. When braking, the entire width would then act as a brake
and achieve a particularly strong braking effect.
