Description
Feb. 1, 1938. AuBER-r 2,107,195
- SKI CLAMPINQ DEVICE Filed June 12, 1936 Patented Feb. 1, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE Application June 12, 1936, Serial No. 84,972 In Canada June 13, 1935 3 Claims.
The present invention relates to devices for clamping skis.
An object of the invention is the provision of a device for holding skis in desired form.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a device designed to connect a pair of skis together and to retain them in predetermined. curved arrangement.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a clamping device of the aforesaid character which is designed to enable convenient predetermined curving of the skis.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a clamping device of the above character which may be collapsed when not in use.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of a ski clamping device of the aforesaid character which is simple and durable in construction and efi'icient for the purpose intended.
Other objects andadvantages of the invention will become apparent as the description progresses.
In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like reference characters are employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in extended ski engaging assembly,
Figure 2 is a side elevational view showing a pair of skis clamped in the device,
Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal section through the extended device, and
Figure 4 is a transverse section taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Referring to the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, A generally designates a longitudinal body member embodying a main centrally disposed tubular section It]. With the ends of the main section It] are telescopically connected a pair of intermediate sections I I slidable within the main section. To the outer ends of the intermediate sections I I are connected a pair of telescopically engaging end tubular sections I2.
At the outer extremity of each end section I 2 is formed a transversely disposed tubular cross arm I4 arranged at right angles to the sections. Adjacent the ends, the cross arm I4 is formed with 5 a plurality of transverse apertures I5. slidably disposed through the apertures I5 of each cross arm is a U-shaped bracket Iiiformed of round bar metal having an arcuate offset II in the cross bar portion. The side legs of each bracket I6 are 55 provided, at the ends, with screw threads I8 adapted to receive thereon wing nuts IS. The
wing nuts I9 are disposed to adjust on the side arms of each bracket an auxiliary tubular cross arm 20 having apertures adjacent the ends through which the end portions of the cross arm legs are extended. a
At the central portion of the elongated body member A is secured a transversely disposed spacing member 22, in the present instance, in the form of a flat metallic plate of elongated rectangular form having indentations 23 in the top and bottom edges.
The device is associated with a pair of skis by arranging each ski in a longitudinal position thereon, the centre of each ski being disposed in the indentation 23 in the top and bottom edges of the spacing member 22. The end portions of each ski, that is the portions at each side of the centre extend through opposite side portions of the brackets, the end portion of one ski being disposed between the cross bar I4 and the cross piece I! of the bracket while the corresponding end portion of the opposed ski is disposed between the cross bar I4 and the auxiliary cross bar 20 at the end of the bracket. As the brackets are disposed in reverse positions the two skis are correspondingly mounted therein. After the skis have been initially positioned, the thumb-screws l9 are threaded to tighten the auxiliary cross bar 20 to tightly clamp the skis. If the natural longitudinal curvature of the skis suits the requirement of the user, the thumb-screws are tightened to a degree necessary to retain this curvature. If, on the other hand, it is desired to increase the curvature of the skis the thumb-screws are tightened until the required curvature is obtained. The curved oiTset I'l is designed to extend over the ski poles when the skis are assembled, as shown at Figures 2 and 4.
When the clamping device is not in use, the 40 telescopically assembled body A may be slidably contracted so that the device may be stored in a space of relatively small compass.
It is to be understood that the form of my invention herein shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes as to the shape, size and arrangement of parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.
Having thus described my invention, I claim:-
1. A ski clamping device comprising an elongated extensible body member, a rigid spacing member mounted transversely on the intermedi ate portion of the body, a rectangular shaped member, end members telescopically associated with the body, a cross member secured at the outer end of each end member, a yoke bracket slidable transversely in each of the cross members, a cross bar slidable in the arms of the yoke, bracket tightening means on the outer ends of the yoke arms, and a spacing member secured on the intermediate portion of the body at right angles to the longitudinal axis thereof and parallel with the longitudinal axis of the cross members 10 and bars.
