Monoski

Abstract

The invention relates to a monoski, consisting of a front and a back board connected to each other by means of a hinge, in which the hinge is constructed in such a way that the back board can be folded over the front board through which a less large package is created and also the two board parts can be moved in a horizontal plane in a limited angle. During skiing the skier stands with one foot on the front board and the other on the back board. During skiing, the skiers feet are not fixed to the boards. In order to keep sufficient contact with the ski, a foldable supporting instrument is mounted on the front board part. The back board part has a surface relief at the bottom to track better.

1 . A skiing device including a two-part board and a supporting instrument, wherein said two board parts are hingeably connected.  
   
   
       2 . The skiing device of  claim 1  wherein said two-part board includes a front board and a back board and further wherein said supporting instrument is coupled to said front board and includes several parts that are hingeably connected to each other.  
   
   
       3 . The skiing device of  claim 2 , further comprising a spring and shock absorbing element mounted between said front board and said supporting instrument.  
   
   
       4 . The skiing device of  claim 3 , wherein said springy and shock absorbing element is connected to said front board a rapid coupling element.  
   
   
       5 . The skiing device of  claim 1 , wherein said hinge allows movement in the horizontal plane, so that said two board parts can be swiveled in relation to each other under a limited angle.  
   
   
       6 . The skiing device of  claim 1 , wherein said hinge allows movement in the vertical plane, so that said back board can easily be folded over said front board.  
   
   
       7 . The skiing device of  claim 1 , wherein, one or both board parts includes a foot support.  
   
   
       8 . The skiing device of  claim 1 , wherein said two-part board includes a front board and a back board wherein said back board is provided with surface reliefs at the bottom.  
   
   
       9 . The skiing of  claim 8  wherein, the surface reliefs at the bottom of said back board are disposed parallel in relation to each other and lengthwise of said back board.  
   
   
       10 . The skiing of  claim 8  wherein said surface reliefs have an elongated shape.  
   
   
       11 . The skiing of  claim 8  wherein said surface reliefs are constructed of metal or a wear-resistant plastic, and are integrated in said back board.
