Abstract
Traction systems for skis producing traction on snow and ice covered surfaces; the skis selected from a group consisting a pair of Back Country skis each are mounted with an apparatus; having DC powered controls, tilt switch, pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) gas powered pneumatic actuators operating gripping parts; controlled by a servo unit. And further consisting a pair of snowmobile skis each having an assembly of parts; driven by an hydraulic rotor that pivots the skis, adjusting their position when cornering, providing traction, according to a snowmobile steering system. And is powered and controlled by at least one of: hydraulic steering system, an electro-hydraulic steering system; an electric power steering system using an electric motor instead of hydraulic rotor.
Claims7
System for producing traction on snow and ice covered surfaces;
- said system having at least one or more species of an assemblage of parts;
- each said assemblage of parts forms a traction apparatus, each said apparatus has distinguishing characteristics, and wherein an apparatus is equal, of the same said species to an other said apparatus in distinguishing characteristics, they are configured to a pair of skis, said system comprising:
- a traction apparatus is adapted for, and is mounted on each of a pair of skis, each apparatus has an adjustable tilt sensor activated by inclination, and acting as an on/off switch for a unit;
- consisting of a DC powered servo control-solenoid valve that controls, incoming pressurized carbon dioxide gas from at least one of a cartridges;
- said pressurized gas powers at least one of a gas pneumatic actuators connected with at least one of a gripping parts that extrudes on vertical ascending terrain and retracts on level, and descending terrain.
