Abstract
A magnetic ski management device encases and immobilizes a pair of skis while incorporating a magnetic implement attracting the device/ski combination to ferromagnetic surfaces. The ski management device of the present invention joins and secures a pair of skis together having a magnetic implement (device) aligned with but offset from the juncture between the skis establishing a magnetic attractive force between the ski management device, including the associated skis, and any ferromagnetic surface.
Claims25
A ski management device;
- comprising:
- a flexible sleeve having a sleeve width and a sleeve length wherein the sleeve length is greater than the sleeve width and wherein a right cross section of the sleeve is an ellipse having a minor axis substantially less than a major axis;
- a semi-rigid planar separator having a separator length with a length edge and a separator width with a width edge, the separator length being greater than the separator width, and wherein the separator is interposed within and bifurcating the sleeve throughout the sleeve length and wherein the separator width is aligned with the major axis of the sleeve, each length edge making contact with the sleeve along the sleeve length and wherein the separator is affixed to the sleeve between each length edge of the separator and the sleeve;
- and
- an elongated magnetic implement coupled to the sleeve and aligned with the sleeve length, wherein the magnetic implement is configured to attach the sleeve and separator to a ferromagnetic substance using a magnetic force.
2 more elements
A system for ski organization, comprising
- at least one pair of skis
- a ski management device configured to encase the at least one pair of skis, the ski management device characterized by
- a flexible sleeve having a sleeve width and a sleeve length wherein the sleeve length is greater than the sleeve width and wherein a right cross section of the sleeve is an ellipse having a minor axis substantially less than a major axis,
- a semi-rigid planar separator having a separator length with a length edge and a separator width with a width edge, the separator length being greater than the separator width, and wherein the separator is interposed within and bifurcating the sleeve throughout the sleeve length and wherein the separator width is aligned with the major axis of the sleeve, each length edge making contact with the sleeve along the sleeve length and wherein the separator is affixed to the sleeve between each length edge of the separator and the sleeve, and
- a magnetic implement aligned with the sleeve length;
- and
- a ferromagnetic surface wherein the magnetic implement is configured to attach the ski management device and the at least one pair of skis to the ferromagnetic surface using a magnetic force.
