Ski and snowboard sling-belt

Abstract

The Ski and Snowboard Sling-Belt is a device enabling an individual to transport a snowboard or a pair of skis, worn diagonally across their back. This design allows for unimpeded use of the arms and thus facilitates navigation under relevant conditions. The device is worn around the waist, as like a belt, when not in use.

1 . In a device for transporting a snowboard, with bindings distally attached thereto, or a pair of skis with separate heel and toe bindings, attached thereto, a main carrying strap, comprised of fixedly attached segments of webbing and padding, having proximally attached to the extremities thereof, the respective, complimentary elements of a buckling mechanism, designed to be engaged, to form a longitudinally adjustable, closed loop;
 a plurality of secondary segments of webbing, distally, and transversely attached to said main strap, having proximally attached to their respective extremities, the complimentary elements of a buckling mechanism, designed to be engaged, to form a longitudinally adjustable, closed loop;   a tertiary segment of webbing, attached at one of its extremities, to said main strap, having proximally attached to the opposite extremity thereof, one element of a buckling mechanism, and designed to be engaged to the complimentary element of the same buckling mechanism, where this is fixedly attached, to said main strap at a separate point, distally located on said main strap;   
   
   
       2 . A device as in  claim 1 , in which the segments of padding are ergonomically shaped, having rounded extremities and these taper into a narrower medial section. 
   
   
       3 . A device as in  claim 1 , in which the segments of webbing are made of nylon, polyester, polypropylene or some other suitable material. 
   
   
       4 . A device as in  claim 1 , in which the buckling mechanisms are made of nylon, acetyl plastic, or some other suitable material. 
   
   
       5 . A device as in  claim 1 , in which the slides are made of nylon, acetyl plastic, or some other suitable material. 
   
   
       6 . A device as in  claim 1 , in which the d-rings are made of nylon, acetyl plastic, or some other suitable material.
