Filed:

Feb 2, 1983

Appl. No.:

6/463252

Inventors:

John Field - Haverhill MA

Assignee:

Ski Accessories, Inc. - Haverhill MA

International Classification:

A63C 1102

US Classification:

294147

Abstract:

A device is presented for carrying ski equipment such as a pair of skis and a pair of ski poles. The device has a pair of clamping members which clamp around a pair of skis to hold them in a back-to-back orientation while being carried. A linear cam mechanism is included in the device to enable the user to open and close the clamping members with one hand. A further device is provided for carrying a pair of ski poles, this device being attachable to the lower portion of the clamping device. When not in use, this ski pole carrier is attached to one of the ski poles and folded so as not to interfere with the normal usage of the pole. The carrying device is also capable of being secured by a standard cable locking device so as to prevent unauthorized removal of either the skis or the ski poles.

International Classification:

E01H005/04

US Classification:

37231, 172272

Abstract:

A snowplow and mount assembly comprising a mount frame adapted to be secured to a vehicle, and a snowplow frame. One of the mount frame and the snowplow frame has first and second arms and the other of the mount frame and snowplow frame has first and second receivers, the first and second receivers receiving the first and second arms, respectively. Respective ones of first and second latch pins removably secure the first and second arms in the first and second receivers. A latch lever is operably associated with the first and second latch pins and simultaneously actuates the latch pins to latched and unlatched positions. The snowplow frame includes a jack stand movable to and between an extended ground contacting and snowplow frame supporting position and a retracted ground noncontacting and snowplow frame nonsupporting position. The latch lever operably frees the jack stand for movement into the extended position when the latch pins are in the unlatched position and operably prevents jack stand movement maintaining the jack stand in the retracted position when the latch pins are in the latched position.
