Abstract
A skating aid comprising novelty figure, such as a snowman, from which a stick or handle, similar to the handle of the hockey stick, protrudes is described. The base of the novelty figure typically has two flat sections proximate its bottom angled relative to each other with the first flat section defining a storage position of the aid when it is not in use, and the second flat section defining a skating position for the aid when in use.
Claims20
An ice skating aid comprising:
- a body having at least a first flat bottom configured to rest on a underlying horizontal surface;
- an elongated handle with a handle axis, the handle axis extending outwardly and upwardly from the body at an angle of approximately 40 to 50 degrees relative to the first flat bottom.
An ice skating aid comprising:
- a body, the body being in the form of a novelty figure and having a first flat bottom configured to rest on a underlying horizontal surface, and a second flat bottom, the second flat bottom forming an angle of about 130-140 degrees relative to the first flat bottom, wherein the handle axis is about orthogonal with the second flat bottom, the body being comprised of a first polymeric foam;
- and
- an elongated handle with a handle axis and a distal portion, the handle distal portion being secured within a sleeve in the body with the handle axis extending (a) outwardly and upwardly from the body at an angle of approximately 40-50 degrees relative to the first flat bottom;
