Boot carrier

Abstract

A boot carrier for carrying ski boots or the like comprising a handle including a pair of opposed ends, and a rope having two rope ends that are secured to the handle such as to define a closed loop. A generally hollow conduit spacer is provided and includes a pair of opposed open ends and a structure defining two pairs of spacer apertures. Each spacer aperture within each pair of spacer apertures is diametrical with respect to each other. The rope slidably passes through the two pairs of spacer apertures. The boot carrier also includes an elastic cord having a pair of cord ends secured to a pair of rope tightening end caps and is adapted for being positioned around the tops of the boots. The pair of rope tightening end caps is slidably positioned within the open ends of the conduit spacer such that tension on the elastic cord causes friction where the rope passes through the two pairs of spacer apertures in order to cause a tightening effect on the rope.
