Definitions
- the present invention relates to a spatula and a racket to snow, said spatula being intended to be mounted on the racket of removable way.
- Snowshoes have been known for a long time many years because used for several centuries by Scandinavian people to move on the snow. Until our days, snowshoes were used for utility or military purposes to allow the populations and the alpine troops to move on the snow for their daily necessities. Currently, snowshoes are used more by athletes who go on hikes and walks, or even competitions. But athletes, although practicing for their pleasure, are more and more demanding for the material they use, and it is true that the products currently sold are not entirely satisfactory.
- snowshoes must combine criteria grip and lift while maintaining maximum comfort for their users. Furthermore, according to the different snow conditions encountered, the snowshoe lift required for a pleasant walk can be different. Similarly, according to the different terrains encountered, the shape The most suitable general racket can also be different. Therefore, each racket is generally efficient for some snow conditions, slope and is often less efficient for other conditions.
- the present invention proposes to solve the drawbacks mentioned above, by simple, reliable, effective and safe means.
- the spatula for snowshoes intended to equip the front part of said snowshoe includes assembly and locking means intended for allow its assembly removably to the racket.
- the spatula for snowshoe has a rounded shape and raised at its end before.
