Ski transport device

Abstract

The invention relates to a ski transport device ( 1 ) for transporting skis, having at least one ski holder ( 10 ) for accommodating a ski end ( 901 ) of a single ski ( 90 ) or of a pair of skis ( 90 ). Each ski ( 90 ) is oriented in the ski holder ( 10 ) approximately vertically in the ski longitudinal direction (R). The ski holder ( 10 ) has two retaining walls ( 101 ) which converge downwardly and together form an acute angle α. The ski holder ( 10 ) has a fixation element ( 20 ) situated at or above upper ends ( 1010 ) of the retaining walls ( 101 ), having fixation points ( 201 ) for engaging at various cross-sectional points ( 902 ) of the ski ( 90 ) or the pair of skis ( 90 ).

1 . A ski transport device for transporting skis comprising at least one ski holder for accommodating a ski end of a single ski ( 90 ) or of a pair of skis, each ski being oriented in the ski holder approximately vertically in a ski longitudinal direction (R) wherein the ski holder has two retaining walls which converge downwardly and together form an acute angle α, and the ski holder has a fixation element situated at or above upper ends of the retaining walls, having fixation points for engaging at various cross-sectional points of the ski or the pair of skis. 
     
     
         2 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the fixation element is designed with fixation points for engaging at the cross-sectional points situated approximately diagonally opposite one another. 
     
     
         3 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the fixation element has a deformable design in order to fix the, or each, ski by means of static friction. 
     
     
         4 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the fixation element is made of a thermoplastic. 
     
     
         5 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the fixation element has sawtooth-like projections in an area of the fixation points. 
     
     
         6 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the fixation element is rubberized. 
     
     
         7 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the downwardly converging retaining walls of the ski holder define a straight bisecting line (G), the fixation points being situated on a fixation line (F) which together with the bisecting line (G) forms an acute angle β. 
     
     
         8 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the ski holder has two side walls for laterally stabilizing each ski ( 90 ). 
     
     
         9 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the ski transport device has a plurality of ski holders. 
     
     
         10 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein multiple ski holders of the ski transport device are situated at a lateral distance from one another on a straight and/or curved positioning line (A). 
     
     
         11 . The ski transport device according to  claim 1  the acute angle α is preferably between 15 and 45 degrees. 
     
     
         12 . A cableway cabin comprising a floor and a ski transport device according to  claim 1  wherein the ski transport device is situated on the floor and is connected to same. 
     
     
         13 . The cableway cabin according to  claim 12  wherein the ski transport device is permanently connected to the floor. 
     
     
         14 . A method for fixing and stabilizing an essentially perpendicularly transportable ski comprising the step of providing a ski holder of a ski transport device which accommodates the end of the ski, wherein retaining walls of the ski holder which downwardly converge at an acute angle α engage with the end of the ski, the ski being fixed and stabilized in the ski holder by its own weight. 
     
     
         15 . The ski transport device according to  claim 6  wherein the fixation element is partially rubberized in the area of the fixation points. 
     
     
         16 . The ski transport device according to  claim 11  the acute angle α is between 20 and 30 degrees.
