Japanese Patent JPH04506170

Kind Code:

Abstract:

A compact case for retaining a pair of skis and a pair of ski poles has two internal open-ended pockets which retain skis in side-by-side reversed orientations with their bindings nested. Mechanisms are secured to the case between the pockets to engage the bindings of the skis to prevent displacement along the pockets, and structures bear on the skis when the case is closed to press the skis into the pockets. Sets of clips retain the poles in spaced-apart planes located between the skis. The poles are oriented in a compressed X configuration (in side view) crossing over proximate to the bindings of the skis with their basket-bearing ends directed inwardly into the space between the skis and with the handle of each pole inset longitudinally from both the handle and the basket of the other pole. The exterior of the case is molded with forward and rear sets of parallel alternating grooves and ribs. Holders with complementary sets of grooves and ribs are adapted to be mounted on a vehicle roof rack and to receive two such case in side-by-side relationship. The sets of grooves and ribs of the holders and cases are interlocked to prevent displacement of the case relative to the vehicle.
