Abstract
A ski sled is shown which has a seat platform carrying a seat, the platform being mounted by flexible support members to a pair of spaced, parallel skis so that the skis can be tilted with respect to the platform. A pair of steering members pivotally connected by a transverse member are connected to the skis to permit an operator to tilt the skis. A brake member is mounted on the ski sled which can be moved into and out of engagement with a ground surface.
Claims10
A ski sled, comprising:
- (a) a pair of spaced, parallel skis;
- (b) a pair of longitudinally spaced frame members each having opposite ends pivotally connected to each ski;
- (c) a steering frame assembly comprising a pair of steering members each having a handle portion at an upper end thereof and being rigidly connected to one of said skis at a lower end portion thereof and each steering member being pivotally connected by a transverse frame member permitting transverse pivotal movements thereof to tilt said skis;
- (d) a seat platform separate from said spaced frame members mounted between said spaced frame members having first support means mounted to said skis connected by flexible support means to an upper platform portion carrying a seat, said flexible means permitting said skis to be tilted with respect to said upper platform portion;
- (e) a brake member mounted on said ski sled for movement into and out of engagement with a ground surface on which said ski sled is operating;
- and
- (f) means for moving said brake member into and out of engagement with the ground surface.
