Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a transport device for an elongated winter sports device, in particular skis.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Winter sports equipment such as Skis are often unwieldy in size and weight, which makes transport for the user of the winter sports equipment cumbersome. At the same time, it is typically necessary that the winter sports equipment must be carried by the user himself, in particular before and after practicing winter sports, e.g. to carry winter sports equipment to and from the valley station of a winter sports resort. Carrying winter sports equipment is often a burden, especially for users who use public transport.

In the prior art, various approaches are therefore proposed to simplify the transport of elongated winter sports equipment, in particular skis.

The EP0406179 A1 describes, for example, a ski carrier for simplifying the manual transport of a pair of skis so that carrying them on the shoulders can be avoided. The ski carrier comprises a support with means for separately releasably engaging and holding the end pieces of a pair of skis and roller means which are attached the support can be rotated so that manual pulling on the floor is possible.

The CH418201 A describes a rolling device for skis to make it easier to carry or transport them, in particular on rough terrain, for example on platforms and sidewalks, roadways and the like. The rolling device has two wheels which are arranged on either side of a thin plate, at the rear end thereof, which plate is intended and adapted to be pushed between the rear ends of skis tied together in pairs and to be frictionally held by them.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

Despite the known approaches from the prior art, the winter sports equipment is still used by many users themselves and in a cumbersome manner, e.g. carried on the shoulders.

It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a transport device for an elongated winter sports device, in particular a ski, which at least partially improves the prior art.

This object is achieved by the features of the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are given in the dependent claims and in the present description and the figures.

The invention relates to a transport device for an elongated winter sports device, in particular skis, comprising a base body with a first and a second leg, which adjoin a base portion of the base body, wherein the first leg, the second leg and the base portion provide a receptacle for part of the Winter sports equipment is formed; and two rollers which are arranged along a rolling axis and which can be releasably fastened magnetically to the base body.

In particular, the receptacle can receive the end pieces of a pair of skis. The recording can, however, also accommodate an end piece of a snowboard. A transport device for winter sports equipment is often only required when the winter sports equipment is transported and then typically has to be stowed in a jacket pocket, trouser pocket or in another pocket, which can be disadvantageous due to the limited space. The releasable fastening of the rollers on the base body therefore offers the advantage that the transport device can be stowed or stored more easily and more compactly when it is not in use.

Furthermore, by loosening the wheels, the transport device can be stowed in a manner in which e.g. the axes of the rollers or other components of the transport device are better protected from damage. This can be particularly advantageous if the user uses the transport device while practicing winter sports, e.g. in a jacket or trouser pocket and the transport device is loaded with the weight of the user when the user is sitting or falling over.

Furthermore, the releasability of the rollers can be advantageous if a roller or the base body is defective and has to be replaced.

In one embodiment, the main body has a third leg, which is arranged between the first and second legs, and divides the receptacle into a first receptacle for a first ski of a ski pair and a second receptacle for a second ski of the ski pair.

In one embodiment, the base body has an axis recess oriented along the roll axis and the rollers each have a ferromagnetic axis piece which can be inserted into the axis recess.

The roller can be detachably attached to the base body by the ferromagnetic axle piece, the ferromagnetic axle piece generally interacting magnetically with a ferromagnetic counterpart of the base body.

The ferromagnetic axle piece can, in one embodiment, comprise a sleeve and a ferromagnetic part, e.g. a permanent magnet, which, e.g. positively or non-positively, is received in one end of the cuff. The cuff can be made of plastic or a metal. Furthermore, the cuff can be solid except for a recess formed at one end for receiving the ferromagnetic element.

The axis recess preferably has a cylindrical profile. The axle piece preferably has a cylindrical shape which is matched to the cylindrical profile of the axle recess.

The axis recess can be designed as a through hole or as a blind hole.

The ferromagnetic axle piece can serve directly as an axle for the roller or can be connected to a separate axle of the roller. For example, the axis of the roller can be made of plastic or a metal such as e.g. Aluminum, be formed and have a thread on which the ferromagnetic axle piece can be screwed.

In one embodiment, the base body has two axis recesses oriented along the roll axis, into each of which an axis piece can be inserted.

The axle recesses are preferably designed as blind holes.

In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic axle piece comprises a permanent magnet.

The ferromagnetic axle piece can, however, also be temporarily magnetizable (apart from a remanence) or comprise a temporarily magnetizable part.

The ferromagnetic axle piece can e.g. a material made of iron or an iron alloy, nickel or a nickel alloy, or an iron-nickel alloy.

The permanent magnet of the axle piece preferably has a cylindrical shape.

In one embodiment, the base body has a ferromagnetic element which is let into the axle recess and is designed to interact magnetically with the axle piece.

The ferromagnetic element is preferably embedded in the axis recess in a form-fitting manner in relation to directions transverse to the axis recess.

In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic element in the axis recess is materially connected to the base body.

In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic element is set into the axle recess in a non-positive manner.

In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic element of the base body has a cylindrical shape.

The ferromagnetic element preferably has a suitable length such that the magnetic interaction between the ferromagnetic element and the ferromagnetic axle piece is sufficient to magnetically fasten the roller to the base body.

In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic element of the base body comprises a permanent magnet. However, the ferromagnetic element can also be magnetizable only temporarily (apart from a remanence). A temporarily magnetizable ferromagnetic element offers the advantage that a small magnetic object, such as an earring or the like, which gets into the axle recess, can be easily removed again.

The ferromagnetic element can e.g. a material made of iron or an iron alloy, nickel or a nickel alloy, or an iron-nickel alloy.

The ferromagnetic element or the permanent magnet of the base body preferably has a cylindrical shape.

In one embodiment, the ferromagnetic element is received in a sleeve, preferably a plastic sleeve, which is frictionally engaged in the axis recess, e.g. is held by a radial spreading effect. There can also be two ferromagnetic elements which are received in the plastic sleeve on both sides.

In one embodiment, the rollers have a plurality of circumferentially arranged bores into which the axle piece of the respective other roller can be inserted.

This offers the advantage that the rollers released from the base body can be stacked on top of one another more easily by inserting an axle piece of one roller into a bore in the other roller. In this way, the rolls can be stowed or stored in a space-saving manner.

In one embodiment, the rollers each have an axial recess and the base body has ferromagnetic bolts protruding along the rolling axis in the direction of the rollers, which can each be inserted into the axial recesses of the rollers.

The ferromagnetic bolts are preferably embedded in the axis recesses in a form-fitting manner in each case with respect to directions perpendicular to the axis recesses of the rollers.

In one embodiment, the rollers each have a ferromagnetic element which is designed to interact magnetically with the bolts.

The ferromagnetic element of a roller can be embedded in the axis recess of the roller. The ferromagnetic element can be inserted into the axis recess of the roller in a form-fitting manner with respect to directions perpendicular to the axis recess. As an alternative or in addition, the ferromagnetic element can be inserted into the axis recess of the roller in a non-positive and / or cohesive manner.

The bolt can have a cylindrical shape. The axis recess can have a cylindrical profile which is matched to the cylindrical shape of the bolt. The ferromagnetic element of a roller can have a cylindrical shape which is matched to the cylindrical profile of the roller.

In one embodiment, the base body is formed from a first body piece comprising the first leg and a second body piece comprising the second leg, the first body piece and the second body piece being releasably connectable to one another.

By releasing the connection of the first body piece and the second body piece, the transport device can be stowed or stored more compactly. In particular, the receptacle, which is formed by the base section and the first and second legs, can be dismantled so that no cavity is created when stowed. E.g. the risk of one of the legs breaking when pressed towards the cavity of the receptacle can be reduced or avoided.

In one embodiment, the first body piece and the second body piece divides the base portion centrally along a longitudinal direction.

In one embodiment, the first body piece and the second body piece can be positively connected to one another, preferably in two directions perpendicular to the base section.

Alternatively or in addition, the first and the second body piece can be connected to one another in a non-positive manner.

In one embodiment, the first body piece and the second body piece can be connected to one another by a plug connection.

In one embodiment, the first body piece and the second body piece can be connected to one another by means of a bung.

In one embodiment, the first body piece and the second body piece can be connected to one another by means of a dovetail connection.

In one embodiment, the first body piece and the second body piece can be stacked in a released state in such a way that the first and the second limb lie against one another.

As a result, the risk of the transport device breaking during storage or in the stowed state can be further reduced or avoided.

As a result, the space-saving storage or stowage of the transport device can be further improved.

In one embodiment, the first leg and / or the second leg has a hole in which an axle piece of a roller can be received.

As a result, the rollers can be stacked on the base body in a space-saving manner when they are detached from the base body.

In one embodiment, the first body piece comprises a first ferromagnetic element, preferably a first permanent magnet, and the second body piece a second ferromagnetic element, preferably a second permanent magnet, which are arranged such that the first body piece and the second Magnetically attract the body piece via the first and second ferromagnetic elements.

In one embodiment, the first ferromagnetic element and / or the second ferromagnetic element can be the ferromagnetic elements which are let into the axis recess of the base body for the magnetic attachment of the rollers.

DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Figure 1 shows embodiment of a transport device 1 in a perspective view. The transport device 1 comprises a base body 11 with a first body piece 11.1 and a second body piece 11.2, which are detachably connected to one another. The base body 11 has a first leg 111 of the first body piece 11.1 and a second leg 112 of the second body piece 11.2, which adjoin a base section 113. The first leg 111, the second leg 112 and the base section 113 form a receptacle 114 for an elongated winter sports device, in particular a pair of skis. The end pieces of a pair of skis can be placed in the receptacle 114 in the longitudinal direction of the skis. The first leg 111 has a projection 1111 and the second leg 112 has a projection 1121. The projections 1111 and 1121 can be used to form a stop for a strap, which can be attached to the legs 111 and 112, for example, and can prevent the skis from slipping out in a longitudinal direction parallel to the base section 113. The base body 11 also has bores 1112 and 1122, in which a belt can also be received, which can secure the skis in a direction perpendicular to the base portion 113. The base body 11 is molded from plastic.

The transport device 1 also has two rollers 12 which are rotatably mounted about a rolling axis A1.

The first body piece 11.1 and the second body piece 11.2 divide the base section 113 of the base body 11 centrally along a longitudinal direction oriented perpendicular to the axis A1.

Figure 2 shows the transport device 1 from Fig.1 in an opposite perspective view. In this view it can be seen that the first body piece 11.1 has a projection 11.11 and the second body piece 11.2 has a recess 11.21. The projection 11.11 and the recess 11.21 are designed and engage one another in such a way that a dovetail connection is formed. The two body pieces 11.1 and 11.2 are positively connected to one another by the dovetail connection in a horizontal direction oriented perpendicular to the base section and a vertical direction oriented perpendicular to the base section.

Figure 3 shows a front view of the transport device 1 from FIG Fig.1 , in which the central division of the base section 113 by the two body pieces 11.1 and 11.2 and the receptacle 114 can be clearly seen.

Figure 4 shows an exploded view of the transport device 1 from Fig.1 . The rollers 12 each have a ferromagnetic axle piece 121, which can each be inserted into recesses 115 of the base body. Each of the two body parts of the main body has an axis recess 115. Permanent magnets 13, which interact magnetically with the axle pieces 121, are embedded in the axle recesses 115 of the base body. Due to the magnetic interaction, the rollers 12 can be magnetically detachably attached to the base body. In certain embodiments, instead of the permanent magnets 13, temporarily magnetizable ferromagnetic elements can also be provided, which can interact with permanently magnetized axle pieces. The rollers 12 each have an axis 122. The axle 122 has a thread 123 onto which the axle piece 121 can be screwed. The axle 122 is molded from plastic. The rollers 12 also have bores 124 which are arranged around the roll axis of the rollers 12 and into which the axle pieces 121 can be inserted. On the main body of the transport device 1, anti-slip elements 116 are also attached, which help hold the skis firmly in the receptacle. The base body also has bores 117 in which the axle pieces 121 can be received when the rollers 12 are in a released state.

Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the two body pieces 11.1 and 11.2 of the transport device from Fig.1 in a stacked state. Due to the central division of the base body, two partial base sections 1131 and 1132 are formed in the divided state of the base body, which can be used to stack the body pieces 11.1 and 11.2 in a space-saving manner.

Figure 6 shows a further embodiment of a transport device 2 in a perspective view. The transport device 2 comprises a base body 21 with a first leg 211 and a second leg 212, which delimit a receptacle 214. The base body 21 also has a third leg 210 which divides the receptacle 214 into two sub-receptacles 214.1 and 214.2 in which the end pieces of the skis of a pair of skis can be individually received. Wedge pieces 219 are arranged in the sub-receptacles 214.1 and 214.2, which serve to clamp the end pieces of the skis in the sub-receptacles 214.1 and 214.2. On the legs 211 and 212 there are outwardly projections 2111 which can serve as stops by means of which a strap can be pulled around the legs in order to fasten the skis in the transport device. In contrast to the embodiment, which in the Figures 1-6 is shown, the legs 211, 212 are oriented parallel to the roll axis A2 of the rollers of the transport device 2. The base body 21 also has a further leg 218 which is used to set up the transport device 2 in a stable manner on the floor. The transport device 2 together with the skis can be set up on the floor with the aid of the leg 218.

Figure 7 shows an exploded view of the transport device 2 from Fig. 6 . The rollers 22 each have a ferromagnetic axle piece 221, via which the rollers 22 can be magnetically detachably fastened to the base body. The axle pieces 221 can be inserted into a bore 215 in the base body. Furthermore, a spacer 14 can be inserted into the bore 215, which ensures that the rollers 22 maintain a sufficient distance from the base body.

Figure 8 shows a further embodiment of a transport device 3 in a perspective view. The transport device 3 has a base body 31 which has a first leg 311 and a second leg 312. The first leg 311, the second leg 312 and a base section 313 of the base body 31 form a receptacle 34 in which a ski or a snowboard can be received. The legs 311 and 312 have a circular base area which widens the contact area in such a way that wide winter sports equipment such as snowboards can be optimally accommodated. The legs 311, 312 also have bores 317 in which axle pieces of the rollers can be received when the transport device 3 is dismantled. The base body 31 has a further bore 319 into which an elastic cable can be inserted, with which the winter sports device can be secured.

Figure 9 shows an exploded view of the transport device 3 from Fig. 8 . The rollers 32 each have axle pieces 321, which can be inserted into axle recesses 315 of the base body.
