Abstract
A hand-held ski carrier includes a rigid base member, a handle projecting from a central portion of the base member, and at least one jaw. Each jaw preferably comprises an outer side member which extends from a lateral side portion of the base member, and an inner side member which is disposed between the outer side member and the handle and which extends generally vertically from the base member in parallel with the outer side member. The handle is rotatable with respect to the base member, and a cam member is mounted on the handle and is adapted to rotate with the handle from a first, neutral position to a second position in which it drives the upper portions of at least one of the inner and outer side members towards the other member to close the jaw.
Claims36
A carrier for skis comprising:
- (A) a rigid base member;
- (B) a handle projecting upwardly from a central portion of said base member;
- (C) a pair of jaws, each jaw comprising
- an outer side member which extends from a lateral side portion of said base member, and
- an inner side member which is disposed between said outer side member and said handle and which extends from said base member in parallel with said outer side member;
- and
- (D) actuating means for selectively driving at least an upper portion of at least one of said inner and outer side members of each of said jaws laterally with respect to said base member towards the other of said inner and outer side members.
A carrier for skis and ski poles, said carrier comprising:
- (A) a rigid base member;
- (B) a handle projecting upwardly from a central portion of said base member;
- (C) a pair of jaws for receiving respective skis and poles, each of said jaws comprising
- an outer side member extending from a lateral side portion of said base member, and
- an inner side member which is disposed between said outer side member and said handle and which extends from said base member in parallel with said outer side member;
- and
- (D) an actuating device which selectively engages at least one of said inner and outer side members of each of said jaws and which forces at least an upper portion of said at least one member laterally with respect to said base member towards the other of said inner and outer side members to force each of said jaws into a closed position in which a ski can be pressed and held between the inner and outer side members of each of said jaws.
A carrier for skis comprising:
- (A) a base member;
- (B) a handle projecting upwardly from said base member;
- (C) a jaw comprising
- an outer side member which extends upwardly from said base member, and
- an inner side member which is disposed between said outer, side member and said handle and which extends upwardly from base member in parallel with said outer side member;
- and
- (D) an actuating device which is responsive to movement of said handle and which selectively drives at least an upper portion of at least one of said inner and outer side members of said jaw laterally towards the other of said inner and outer side members.
A carrier for skis comprising:
- (A) a base member;
- (B) a handle, projecting upwardly from said base member, for carrying said carrier;
- (C) a jaw including
- an outer side member which extends upwardly from said base member and which extends longitudinally of said base member, and
- an inner side member which is disposed between said outer side member and said handle and which extends upwardly from said base member and longitudinally of said base member generally in parallel with said outer side member;
- and
- (D) an actuating device which selectively drives at least an upper portion of at least one of said inner and outer side members laterally of said base member towards the other of said inner and outer side members.
