Abstract
Abstract A ski carrier adapted to carry, in addition to a pair of skis, a ski boot carrier and a pair of ski poles. The carrier has a Ushaped frame which functions as a bail-type handle, from which a pair of panels are hung, each panel having a resilient strap by which a ski, or a ski and a ski pole, are secured to the panel. The panels, when not in use, swing into or adjacent the frame to form a small pocket-size package. A hook depending from one of the panels serves to support a ski-boot carrier, a clasp on the frame can be used to support the frame from the skier''s belt to free one of his hands, and means are provided for hanging the ski carrier with skis secured thereto, from a wall hook. The carrier may be retained on the skis when the skis are secured to a ski rack on a car in either co-planar or parallel relationship to one another.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
124 words
A ski carrier comprising a substantially U-shaped bail-type frame adapted to use as a handle and having side portions of pre-selected width adjoined at corresponding ends through a connecting portion which serves as a hand grip, panels hingedly secured in spaced relationship to opposite sides of the side portions at the ends thereof opposite the connecting portion and for swinging movements in opposite directions relative to the frame between positions adjacent and extending along opposite sides of the side portions in spaced and opposed relationship to one another and positions in which the panels extend away from the ends of the side portions in generally parallel and spaced relationship to one another, and means for releasably securing skis against opposite faces of said panels.
