Abstract
A wheeled device for increasing the mobility of a snowmobile or ski-bound vehicle, wherein the wheeled device, having a cylindrical axle, is attached to the bolt on the interior of a sled ski underneath the snowmobile sled, which raises the skis off the ground and does not increase the snowmobile sled width. The wheeled device surrounds the interior sled ski bolts and nuts thereon and is tightened onto said bolts and nuts by way of a tightening wheel. The snowmobile is thus able to drive on the wheeled devices so that it can conveniently move from one location to another without damaging the bottom of the skis if on rough or unstable terrain.
Claims8
A snowmobile assisting wheeled device adapted to attach to and move a snowmobile having at least one ski and a bolt with threading therethrough, said wheeled device comprising:
- a flat free wheel having a front face and a rear face, wherein a flat free wheel opening is formed through the front face and the rear face;
- a cylindrical axle having a first distal end and a second distal end, wherein said cylindrical axle is inserted through the flat free wheel opening, such that the first distal end extends beyond the front face of the flat free wheel, and wherein the second distal end extends beyond the rear face of the flat free wheel;
- an interior recess portion contained within said axle at the second distal end and extending partially across the length of the axle;
- a tightening wheel surrounding the first distal end of the cylindrical axle;
- an attachment piece mechanically securing the tightening wheel to the first distal end of the cylindrical axle;
- and
- wherein the second distal end of the cylindrical axle is removably mechanically connected to the snowmobile bolt threading.
