LOCKING MEANS Filed Dec. 16, 1960 ROBERT C. CAMPBELL INVEN TOR.
ATTORNEY United States Patent Ofifice Bfl lgfll l Patented May 28, 1 963 3,091,011 LGCKENG BEANS Robert C. Campbell, Jersey City, N41,, assignor of one-half to Paul A. Godhy, Harrison, NJ. Filed Dec. 16, 1960, Ser. No. 76,385 13 Claims. (Cl. 2481) The present invention relates to locking means, and more particularly, to locking means for skis or the like.
It is an object of the present invention to provide locking means or clamping means for large and bulky objects, such as skis or the like, which are generally exposed to prevent loss thereof because they are of such a nature that they cannot be readily stored and locked up.
Although the locking means of the present invention will be described in connection with skis, it is not to be considered limited thereto, as it will be readily apparent that the locking means may be used for ladders and other similar objects wherein the large size of the object prevents it from being stored and locked in a small compartment or space so that it cannot be lost.
It is another object of the present invention to provide locking means for skis or the like which is adjustable to fit any size ski and locks in seconds.
It is another object of the present invention to provide adjustable locking means for skis or the like which can be locked to anything, anywhere to prevent loss of the skis.
It is another object of the present invention to provide locking means for skis or the like in which, even if the locking means are removed from the fixed ski rack, car top, etc., the locking means are so disposed between the foot bindings and front shovel end of the skis that it cannot be removed from the skis without causing permanent damage to the skis.
Various other objects and advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent from the following detailed description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof, and in which:
FIG. 1 is a side view of a pair of skis with the locking means of the present invention clamped to the skis to secure them to a ski rack;
FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1, showing the locking means and skis as seen in front of the rack;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the locking means of the present invention; and
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary View of the locking means of the present invention, with parts broken away to more clearly illustrate the method of adjusting the locking means to clamp it to an object.
Referring to the drawings, the reference numeral 1! generally designates locking means or clamping means for skis or the like, comprising a first clamp member 11 and a second clamp member 12. Clamp member 11 is generally T-shaped and is provided with a rectangular flat steel plate 13 having outwardly extending cross bars or braces 14 and 15 formed on one end thereof and disposed at right angles to the strap 13. Bars 14 and 15 terminate in inwardly bent flanges 16 and 17 extending parallel to strap 13. A plurality of spaced rectangular notches or slots 18 are disposed in the top of the strap in the end thereof opposite the cross bars while a horizontal or longitudinally extending slot 19 is disposed in the lower portion of the strap. Slot 19 extends from a point overlapping notches 18 to a point adjacent the end of the strap.
Clamp member 12 consists of a U-shape member 20 having a bight 21 of sufficient size to permit the clamp member to be disposed on strap 13 and be easily moved or slid back and forth along the strap. A downwardly bent lug or ear 22 is formed on the U-shape member adjacent the 'bight for insertion within the notches 18 of the first clamp member. The legs 23 and 24 of the U-shape member have outwardly extending cross bars 25 and 26 thereon, similar to the bars of the first clamp member, and terminate in inwardly bent flanges 27 and 28, similar to flanges 16 and 17, to hold a pair of skis 25 therebetween. The lower portion of the legs of member 20 have spaced apertures or openings 29 and 30 therein. Openings 29 and 30 are disposed in alignment with slot 1? of strap 13. The end of a flexible steel strand cable 31 is threaded through openings 29 and formed into an eye 32, after which a cylindrical fastener 33 is clamped around the cable to permanently secure clamp member 12 on clamp 11. Clamp member 12 may be moved toward and away from the first clamp member to readily adjust the distance between the clamp members and hold different size skis therebetween. It is readily apparent that clamp member 12 may be turned or pivoted upwardly with respect to clamp member 11, as illustrated in FIG. 4, so that the clamp member may be easily slid or moved back and forth along strap 13 to insert lug 22 in notch 18 therein to readily adjust the distance between the clamp member to fit any size skis desired to be held therebetween.
The other end of the cable 31 is also formed with an eye 34 permanently formed therein by a clamp 35, similar to clamp 33 disposed around the cable. Opening 39 is adapted to receive the hasp or blocking bar 36 of a conventional padlock 37.
When it is desired to lock a pair of skis to a permanent rack or fixture 38, the portion of the skis between the foot binding and front shovel end are placed against strap 13 with the shovel extending outwardly from the strap, as illustrated in FIG. 1. The sides of the skis are then inserted between the cross bars and flanges of clamp member 11. Thereafter, clamp member 12 is moved along strap 13 toward clamp member 11 until its cross bars 25 and 26 and flanges 27 and 28 tightly engage the opposite sides of the skis, after which lug 22 is inserted into the notch 18 adjacent it. Thereafter, the free end of cable 31 is threaded through ski poles 4i and wrapped around the rack 38, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and eye 34 is threaded in lock hasp 36. The hasp is inserted through opening 36 and the lock is closed to thus lock the skis.
It will be noted that the present invention provides a novel locking means for skis, ladders, and the like, which is readily adjustable to different sizes and which prevents large and bulky objects which cannot be easily stored and are generally exposed, from being lost. In addition, it will be noted that the adjustable locking means of the present invention is of simple construction, inexpensive to manufacture, and cannot be removed from the locked object without causing damage thereto.
Inasmuch as various changes maybe made in the form, location and relative arrangement of the several parts without departing from the essential characteristics of the invention, it will be understood that the invention is not to be limited except by the scope of the appended claims.
