Conversion of a conventional alpine ski into a ski glider according to protection claim 1.

The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of offering a sports device using a commercially available alpine ski that, through the use of a holding device (similar to a street scooter), enables sporty locomotion without high technomotor requirements on snow-covered surfaces.

Design examples

The ski glider consists of a standard alpine ski (1) onto which a base plate with a holding device is mounted. The base plate with holding device can be permanently installed (example A, Figure 1) or can be connected to the ski via the binding system (example B, Figure 2).

This problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim.

The invention makes it possible to convert a normal alpine ski into a completely new means of transport, which can be used in a similar way to a street scooter without the need for special binding devices for the shoes.

The ski glider can be used in alpine terrain to ski down slopes and slopes and to glide on snow-covered surfaces. The sporting aspect is the main focus here. The ski glider is controlled by changing the body's center of gravity. The straps serve as a positioning aid for the feet and to ensure that contact with the device is not lost. It is conceivable that the straps can be left behind to perform jumps or tricks while skiing.

The ski glider can be used for movement on flat snow-covered surfaces.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 2. The further development according to claim 2 enables the user to quickly and easily implement embodiment A according to claim 1 - fixed installation (Figure 1):

A mounting plate (2) is screwed to the alpine ski (1). The position of the mounting plate on the ski corresponds to that of a ski binding. The mounting plate has several threads on the top that are used to attach the base plate (3). The mounting plate also functions as a spacer to allow the ski glider to tip over when cornering. The height of the mounting plate can vary and depends on the skier's skill level.

Four longitudinal slots (7) are set into the base plate (3), through which the base plate is firmly connected to the mounting plate (2). The longitudinal slots (7) enable the base plate (3) to be moved forwards and backwards. The function of the sliding device is to find the individually optimal position of the base plate on the ski glider. The holding device (5) is attached to the front end (towards the tip of the ski). The holding device consists of a standpipe (5a), immersion tube (5b) and a tensioning device (5c) for height adjustment. The holding device ends with a crossbar or a knob (5d).

PA2001/1

Loops (4) are attached to the base plate, the position of which can be varied by screwing them to various threaded bushings (6) embedded in the plate. The holding device (5) can be equipped with a folding and locking mechanism (12).

Example B according to claims 1 + 2 with binding insert (Figure 2a,b):

The mounting plate (2) from A is replaced by a binding insert (8). The binding insert (8) enables the base plate to be attached with a holding device (3,4,5) in a commercially available ski binding for alpine skis. The binding insert has several threads on the top that are used to attach the base plate (3). The binding insert also functions as a spacer to allow the ski glider to tip over when cornering. The height of the binding insert can vary and depends on the skier's ability. The binding insert can be adjustable or have a fixed length. The binding insert is guided into the binding and attached like a ski boot. To prevent the front jaw of the ski binding (9a) from being released sideways, guide plates (10) are attached to the binding insert (8) on both sides, which rest on the sides of the base surfaces of the front jaw (9a).

Four longitudinal slots (7) are embedded in the base plate (3), through which the base plate is firmly connected to the mounting plate (2). The longitudinal slots (7) enable the base plate (3) to be moved forwards and backwards. The function of the sliding device is to find the individually optimal position of the base plate on the ski glider. The holding device (5) is attached to the front end (towards the tip of the ski).

The holding device consists of a standpipe (5a), a dip tube (5b) and a tensioning device (5c) for height adjustment. The holding device ends with a crossbar or a knob (5d).

Loops (4) are attached to the base plate (3), the position of which can be varied by screwing them to various threaded bushings (6) embedded in the plate. The base plate with the holding device (3,4,5) can be removed by opening the rear binding jaw (9b) through the hole (11) in the base plate (3) using a ski pole.

The holding device (5) can be equipped with a folding and locking mechanism (12).

Claims (2)

1. Ski glider for moving on snow-covered surfaces, characterized in that an attachment is mounted on an alpine ski, which consists of a standing area with loops and a holding device attached to it. 2. Ski glider according to claim 1, characterized in that the attachment is mounted on an alpine ski with bindings by means of a binding insert.
