Abstract
A strap adapted to be loosely tied at either end to a pair of skis to facilitate carrying of the skis. Spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material are attached to the strap adjacent both ends thereof, and can be engaged to inhibit untying of the loosely tied ends of the strap. The fastening material has end flaps which prevent the tension in the straps from disengaging the engaged material. Fore and aft loops are provided in the strap to hold the ski poles.
Claims4
Apparatus for hand-carrying a pair of skis and ski poles comprising a strap adapted to be placed over the shoulder of the carrier, a first end of said strap adapted to be loosely tied to the forward portion of the skis to form a first tied portion, the second end of said strap adapted to be loosely tied to the rearward portion of the skis to form a second tied portion;
- spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the first end thereof on opposite sides of the first tied portion and engageable to inhibit untying of the first end of the strap, at least one of said spaced strips of fastening material adjacent the first end of the strap having a loose flap section unattached to the strap;
- and spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the second end thereof on opposite sides of the second tied portion and engageable to inhibit untying of the second end of said strap, at least one of said spaced strips of fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the second end having a loose flap section unattached to the strap, whereby disengagement of the corresponding strips of fastening material due to tension in the strap is inhibited.
Apparatus for transporting gear to and from a ski slope, said apparatus comprising:
- a pair of skis;
- a strap having opposite ends loosely tied fore and aft to said pair of skis to form tied portions adjacent the opposite ends of the strap;
- paired strips of mutually engageable hook and eye material adjacent each end of the strap on opposite sides of the respective tied portions and engaged to inhibit untying of the ends of the strap, one strip of each pair of strips substantially at the ends of the strap and the other strip of each pair of strips spaced from the ends of said strap, each said spaced strip having a loose flap on the ends of the strip nearest the ends of the strap, whereby disengagement of the engaged hook and eye strips by tension in the strap is inhibited.
