Abstract
Abstract A strap adapted to be loosely tied at either end to a pair of skis to facilitate carrying of the skis. Spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material are attached to the strap adjacent both ends thereof, and can be engaged to inhibit untying of the loosely tied ends of the strap. The fastening material has end flaps which prevent the tension in the straps from disengaging the engaged material. Fore and aft loops are provided in the strap to hold the ski poles.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
214 words
Apparatus for hand-carrying a pair of skis and ski poles comprising a strap adapted to be placed over the shoulder of the carrier, a first end of said strap adapted to be loosely tied to the forward portion of the skis to form a first tied portion, the second end of said strap adapted to be loosely tied to the rearward portion of the skis to form a second tied portion; spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the first end thereof on opposite sides of the first tied portion and engageable to inhibit untying of the first end of the strap, at least one of said spaced strips of fastening material adjacent the first end of the strap having a loose flap section unattached to the strap; and spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the second end thereof on opposite sides of the second tied portion and engageable to inhibit untying of the second end of said strap, at least one of said spaced strips of fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the second end having a loose flap section unattached to the strap, whereby disengagement of the corresponding strips of fastening material due to tension in the strap is inhibited.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
214 words
Apparatus for hand-carrying a pair of skis and ski poles comprising a strap adapted to be placed over the shoulder of the carrier, a first end of said strap adapted to be loosely tied to the forward portion of the skis to form a first tied portion, the second end of said strap adapted to be loosely tied to the rearward portion of the skis to form a second tied portion; spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the first end thereof on opposite sides of the first tied portion and engageable to inhibit untying of the first end of the strap, at least one of said spaced strips of fastening material adjacent the first end of the strap having a loose flap section unattached to the strap; and spaced strips of mutually engageable fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the second end thereof on opposite sides of the second tied portion and engageable to inhibit untying of the second end of said strap, at least one of said spaced strips of fastening material attached to the strap adjacent the second end having a loose flap section unattached to the strap, whereby disengagement of the corresponding strips of fastening material due to tension in the strap is inhibited.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
Apparatus as in claim 1 and additionally comprising fore and aft loops in the strap for insertion of the ski poles therethrough, each said loop comprising a short section of strap material attached at both ends to the strap, said sections and the included strap portions being of nearly equal length so that tension in the strap biases the sides of the loops together to hold the ski poles therein.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
143 words
Apparatus for transporting gear to and from a ski slope, said apparatus comprising: a pair of skis; a strap having opposite ends loosely tied fore and aft to said pair of skis to form tied portions adjacent the opposite ends of the strap; paired strips of mutually engageable hook and eye material adjacent each end of the strap on opposite sides of the respective tied portions and engaged to inhibit untying of the ends of the strap, one strip of each pair of strips substantially at the ends of the strap and the other strip of each pair of strips spaced from the ends of said strap, each said spaced strip having a loose flap on the ends of the strip nearest the ends of the strap, whereby disengagement of the engaged hook and eye strips by tension in the strap is inhibited.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
143 words
Apparatus for transporting gear to and from a ski slope, said apparatus comprising: a pair of skis; a strap having opposite ends loosely tied fore and aft to said pair of skis to form tied portions adjacent the opposite ends of the strap; paired strips of mutually engageable hook and eye material adjacent each end of the strap on opposite sides of the respective tied portions and engaged to inhibit untying of the ends of the strap, one strip of each pair of strips substantially at the ends of the strap and the other strip of each pair of strips spaced from the ends of said strap, each said spaced strip having a loose flap on the ends of the strip nearest the ends of the strap, whereby disengagement of the engaged hook and eye strips by tension in the strap is inhibited.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
71 words
Apparatus as in claim 3 and additionally comprising a pair of ski poles, and fore and aft loops in the strap having the ski poles inserted therethrough, said loops comprising nearly equal length sections of strap material joined at the ends thereof to the strap, whereby tension in the strap acts to compress the ski poles between the strap sections to prevent accidental slippage of the ski poles through the loops.
