BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION—FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention relates to downhill ski, specifically to adhere a walking device to a downhill ski boot.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The sport of downhill skiing has been around for many years. The sport has changed drastically over the years with all the new technologies. The sport of downhill skiing concept as far as how the ski boot is mounted to the ski has not changed too drastically. The shapes of skis have undergone some major changes in how they look from the past to how they look in the present. The bottom of the boot design in reference to the adhering mechanism has relatively been unchanged. The Ski Boot Walker will adhere with ease in lieu of the bottom design of the ski boot. Thereafter, an inventor created a walking device for ski boots U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,059 to Koniuk 1986 discloses a walking device or boot accessory for the downhill skiing industry. The problem with this walking device which was granted to U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,059 to Koniuk was found to have difficulties with the adhering mechanism to the bottom of the ski boot. The U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,059 to Koniuk proves to be an ineffective way to adhere a walking device to the bottom of a ski boot.
Thus, the U.S. Pat. No. 4,619,059 to Koniuk has a problem with the adhering mechanism to the ski boot therefore rendering it less superior to Ski Boot Walker. With the new Ski Boot Walker and new design which is proposed in this patent the new Ski Boot Walker will adhere to any and all sizes of ski boots allowing the end user to traverse buildings with ease as well as with a more safe capacity.
To add, with the new Ski Boot Walker comes an affixing mechanism which will affix the Ski Boot Walker right to the back of the ski with ease, allowing skiers to carry their Ski Boot Walkers down the slope and wherever they need to go to use the Ski Boot Walker and affixing design.

A. The old boot accessory does not have a safe adhering mechanism.
B. The boot accessory does not have the affixing mechanism for the skier and/or end user to affix the apparatus to the ski for ease of carrying.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION—OBJECTS AND ADVANTAGES

Accordingly, besides the objects and advantages of the boot accessory described in my above patent, several objects and advantages of the present invention are:

A. New design—a much safer way to adhere a boot accessory to the bottom of a ski boot.
B. Carrying mechanism—a much more effective way and easier way to carry the Ski Boot Walker.
C. The design of the adhering mechanism allowing for the skier to have his ski boot walkers at all times in case of need to traverse a building or surface.
D. The adjustable mechanism allowing for a universal fit.

SUMMARY

In accordance with the present invention, a Ski Boot Walker comprises a body having an adhering mechanism, a shoe base apparatus, stationary adhering mechanism, track adhering mechanism.

(1) the adhering mechanism to the adjusting mechanism (2) the elongated opening (3), the radius of the shoe Ski Boot Walker (4), and the tracking mechanism (5). FIG. 1 (7) the stationary adhering mechanism which is shoe base apparatus (6).

OPERATIONS—FIGURES 1 THROUGH 7

The Ski Boot Walker adhering mechanism (1) will be adhered to the front of a ski boot, (2) is the adjusting mechanism which is used to pull the adhering mechanism forward onto the front of the ski boot. (3) is the elongated opening which is used to pull and adjust for the adhering mechanism (1) and the adjusting mechanism (2). (4) is the radius which is found on the bottom of the Ski Boot Walker which allows for ease of walking which is also part of the shoe base apparatus (6). (5) is track mechanism which is used to adhere the entire Ski Boot Walker and shoe apparatus (6) to the back of a downhill ski. (6) is used and houses an adhering mechanism (1) and also encompasses the adjusting mechanism (2) the shoe base apparatus also comprises the elongated opening (3) the shoe base apparatus also encompasses the radius on the bottom of the Ski Boot Walker (4) the shoe base apparatus also is comprised with a track adhering mechanism (5) the shoe base apparatus has the stationary adhering mechanism (7).

CONCLUSION, RAMIFICATIONS, AND SCOPE

Accordingly, the reader will see that the Ski Boot Walker will affix to the bottom of any size ski boot on the market with ease. In addition to Ski Boot Walker affixing to the bottom of a ski boot with ease, the reader will also see that the Ski Boot Walker will adhere for easy carrying on the back of a downhill ski. Furthermore, the Ski Boot Walker has additional advantages in that:

The new design of the Ski Boot Walker allows for a more safer and adaptable fit.
The radius on Ski Boot Walker allows for a much safer and easier gait.
The carrying mechanism on Ski Boot Walker allows for the downhill skier to adhere the Ski Boot Walker to the back of the ski boot therefore allowing the skier
