Ski guard

A tiltable ski guard comprising a base member arranged to be attached to a ski and a swivel part having at least one bearing axle pivotally mounted in said base member with the bearing axle arranged to extend transversely to the ski, wherein the improvement comprises an elongated holding member attached to said swivel part at least at one location and being separated from and extending along said swivel part over at least a part of the length of said holding member extending from the attachment location, said holding member being pivotally displaceable with said swivel part about the bearing axle thereof and being elastically deformable relative to said swivel part, and said holding member has at least one support surface thereon in contact with said base member and said at least one support surface is positioned on said holding member at a location spaced remotely on said holding member from the attachment location of said holding member to said swivel part where said holding member is separate from said swivel part, said holding member has a support member forming said support surface, said base member has a surface thereon arranged in surface contact with said support surface on said support member of said holding member, said base member has a recess, and said surface in contact with said support surface on said holding member located in said recess, said base member has second support surface thereon spaced from and extending transversely of said support surface located in said recess, and said second surface is arranged for supporting said holding member when said swivel part is tilted flat with the ski surface to which said base member is arranged to be attached.

A tiltable ski guard comprising a base member arranged to be attached to a ski and a swivel part having at least one bearing axle pivotally mounted in said base member with the bearing axle arranged to extend transversely to the ski, wherein the improvement comprises an elongated holding member attached to said swivel part at least at one location and being separated from and extending along said swivel part over at least a part of the length of said holding member extending from attachment location, said holding member being pivotally displaceable with said swivel part about the bearing axle thereof and being elastically deformable relative to said swivel part, and said holding member has at least one support surface thereon in contact with said base member and said at least one support surface is positioned on said holding member at a location spaced remotely on said holding member from the attachment location of said holding member to said swivel part wherein said holding member is separate from said swivel part, said swivel part is a stirrup-shaped member, said stirrup-shaped member having at least two sides extending transversely outwardly from the bearing axis of said bearing axle, said holding member attached to said stirrup-shaped member at a location spaced remotely outwardly from the bearing axis and said holding member extending from the attachment location toward the swivel axis in spaced generally parallel relation with a part of said stirrup-shaped member and the opposite end of said holding member from said attachment location being spaced from the bearing axis, said stirrup-shaped member including a pair of said bearing axles disposed in axial alignment and spaced axially from one another.

Tiltable ski guard comprising a base member arranged to be attached to a ski and a swivel part having at least one bearing axle pivotally mounted in said base member with the bearing axle arranged to extend transversely to the ski, wherein the improvement comprises an elongated holding member attached to said swivel part at least at one location and being separated from and extending along said swivel part over at least a part of the length of said holding member extending from the attachment location, said holding member being pivotally displaceable with said swivel part about the bearing axle thereof and being elastically deformable relative to said swivel part, and said holding member has at least one support surface thereon in contact with said base member and said at least one support surface is positioned on said holding member at a location spaced remotely on said holding member from the attachment location of said holding member to said swivel part where said holding member is separate from said swivel part, said swivel part is a stirrup-shaped member, said stirrup-shaped member having at least two sides extending transversely outwardly from the bearing axis of said bearing axle, said holding member secured to said stirrup-shaped member at a location spaced remotely outwardly from the swivel axis and said holding member extending from the point of attachment toward the swivel axis in spaced generally parallel relation with a part of said stirrup-shaped member and the opposite end of said holding member from said location being spaced from the bearing axis, said stirrup-shaped member including one said bearing axle extending across said stirrup-shaped member and secured to the opposite sides thereof.

A tiltable ski guard comprising a base member arranged to be attached to a ski and a swivel part having at least one bearing axle pivotally mounted in said base member with the bearing axle arranged to extend transversely to the ski, wherein the improvement comprises an elongated holding member attached to said swivel part at least in one location and being separated from and extending along said swivel part over at least a part of the length of the holding member extending from the attachment location, said holding member being pivotally displaceable with said swivel part about the bearing axle thereof and being elastically deformable relative to said swivel part, said holding member has at least one support surface thereon in contact with said base member and said at least one support surface is positioned on said holding member at a location spaced remotely on said holding member from the attachment location of said holding member to said swivel part where said holding member is separate from said swivel part, said holding member at the support surface thereof is bifurcated, said base member has a surface arranged in surface contact with the bifurcated support surface on said holding member, said holding member is located in a plane including said swivel part and the bearing axle thereof, said holding member is deflectable in said plane in the direction away from said bearing axle, said swivel part is formed by a stirrup-shaped member comprising a plurality of angularly disposed interconnected sides, said holding member extends parallel to and in spaced relation from at least one said side of said stirrup-shaped member, and said holding member and said side of said stirrup-shaped member along which said holding member extends are arc-shaped with the arc-shaped holding member extending between the attachment location to said stirrup-shaped member and said base member.
