Abstract:

A snow board parking brake apparatus for holding a snow board at rest during the time a snow boarder is attaching or detaching the snow boarder's boots to or from the snow board bindings. A function of this invention is to make snow boarding more enjoyable by 1) holding the snow board member stable on the snow while the snow boarder is attaching or detaching the snow boarder's boots and snow board bindings; 2) removing snow build-up on the snow boarder's boot soles; 3) providing a convenient handle to hand carry the snow board when the snow boarder is walking; and 4) providing convenient rings to attach a carrying strap to put over the snow boarder's shoulder or a padlock and chain assembly for security during storage of the snow board member. The snow board parking brake apparatus includes 1) a basic support base assembly secured to the snow board member; and 2) a main parking brake assembly mounted on the basic support base assembly. The main brake parking assembly has to move a brake blade assembly movable in an upwardly, laterally, and downward position extended laterally and below a lower surface of the snow board member.
