Carrying device for skis

Claim 1

A carrying device for skis comprising means to clamp a pair of skis into fixed position with respect to one another so that the skis extend side by side and parallel to one another in a common plane, and means to form a loop to one side of the skis, the same being adapted to be grasped by hand for carriage of the skis with their axis extending horizontally one above the other and their surfaces disposed in the same substantially vertical plane, said clamping means comprising two separate clamping assemblies adapted to be secured to the skis in spaced parallel relation, each having substantially equal but opposite displacements from the center of balance of the skis, and, each of said clamping assemblies comprising a bar extending across both skis in contact with one of the surfaces thereof, a central spacer member disposed between adjacent edges of the skis and being provided with oppositely extending wing portions overlapping portions of the opposite surfaces of the skis in the vicinity of their adjacent edges, and a lower retainer member overlapping a portion of said opposite surface of only one of the skis in the vicinity of its remote edge, said retainer member having a shoulder to contact said edge and thereby prevent edgewise movement of said one of the skis.
