Abstract
A ski attachment for a wheeled insulated cooler which includes a left ski and a right ski and an upturned flange on each that is biased towards the inner edge of the ski. The upturned flange and a bracket are coordinated to allow a fastener to attach the bracket to the upturned flange. The bracket captures an axle and allows free rotation of the axle when the skis are connected to the axle. The bracket captures the axle to prevent the axle from being dislodged from the bracket on the ski. The ski is wide enough and long enough to provide sliding support for the insulated portable cooler over surfaces where wheels aren't useable.
Claims5
A ski sled for an insulated cooler comprising:
- a. a left ski and a right ski, the left and right ski being removably connected to an axle of a wheeled insulated cooler with a bracket, the bracket being connected to the left ski and the right ski;
- b. the left ski and the right ski each having an outboard edge and an inboard edge, the outboard edge and the inboard edge of the left ski and the right ski each being wider than the width of a wheel of an wheeled insulated cooler, the left ski and the right ski each has an upward rising flange defined thereon, where the upward rising flange is biased towards the inboard edge of the left ski and the right ski, the upward rising flange of the left ski and the right ski each has a hole defined therein, the hole in the upward rising flange being adapted to allow the bracket to be attached thereon;
- c. the bracket has a lower portion, where the lower portion of the bracket is arcuate shaped and has a hole defined therein, the hole in the lower portion being centrally positioned in the arcuate shape of the lower portion of the bracket and is adapted to attach onto the upward rising flange of the left and right ski, the bracket has means to capture an axle of the insulated cooler and allow the free rotation of the axle thereby;
- d. the left and right ski each has a rear edge, the rear edge of the left and right ski extends beyond the wheel of the insulated cooler, the left and right ski each further has an upward rising forward edge, where the upward rising forward edge of the left and right ski is adapted to prevent debris from gathering on the left and right ski.
