Abstract
A ski board including an elongated riding platform, a pair of mounting brackets, a pair of skis, and resilient means for joining the skis. The elongated riding platform is of a length sufficient to permit a person to stand on the platform with one foot in front of the other. The mounting brackets are attached to the underside of the elongated riding platform in longitudinally spaced relationship. The skis are attached to the mounting brackets in longitudinally aligned relationship for pivotal movement about horizontal axes. The resilient means for joining the skis connects the rear edge of the leading ski to the tip of the trailing ski. With this construction, the trailing ski will track the leading ski over uneven terrain without the possibility of bottoming out.
Claims11
A ski board comprising an elongated riding platform, a pair of mounting brackets attached to the underside of said riding platform in longitudinally spaced relationship, each of said mounting brackets including means permitting pivotal movement of said mounting bracket about a horizontal and a vertical axis relative to said riding platform, a ski having a curved tip and a planar rear edge attached to each of said mounting brackets in a normal longitudinally aligned position to define a leading ski and a trailing ski wherein said tip of said trailing ski slightly overlaps said rear edge of said leading ski, each of said skis including means permitting pivotal movement of said ski about a horizontal axis relative to said mounting bracket, and means for joining said rear edge of said leading ski to said tip of said trailing ski including a resilient disc and a ski-joining bolt extending therethrough, said joining means limiting pivotal movement of said skis about said horizontal and vertical axes by exerting a force tending to restore said skis to said normal longitudinally aligned position whereby said trailing ski will track said leading ski over uneven terrain.
