Patent number: 4206828Abstract: A power driven ski-bob with an elongated propulsion unit having preferably an anterior sliding portion, a posterior endless tread portion and an upwardly extending post means; the propulsion unit is connected to the rest of the ski-bob's structure through a pivoting connection which is substantially higher than the sliding and tread portions so that the pressure between these portions and the snow is decreased and increased respectively, in response to said tread generating thrust against the snow to secure the engagement between the tread and snow.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1978Date of Patent: June 10, 1980Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted

Patent number: 4204581Abstract: A power driven ski-bob comprising a front steerable ski and a motor driven propulsion unit which are connected to the rest of the ski-bob's structure by struts, so that the rider and motor move above the snow to minimize the drag of the snow on the ski-bob.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 1978Date of Patent: May 27, 1980Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted
-
Patent number: 4175627Abstract: A propulsion system for a snow going device comprising a tread having a roller chain carrying cleats with a resilient snow engaging portion, and an undersurface defining a groove which slidingly contains the chain, the groove also provides a longitudinal bearing for supporting the cleats through the chain.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 1978Date of Patent: November 27, 1979Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted
-
Patent number: 4129193Abstract: A propulsion system for a snow going device having a tread circulateably supported around an elongated body with skirt means on each side and extending below the elongated body for protecting the tread and improving the traction.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 1977Date of Patent: December 12, 1978Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted
-
Patent number: 4109739Abstract: A power driven ski-bob having a frame supported by a front steerable ski and a rear power driven ski sub-assembly, the rear end of which is forceably biased downwards to improve traction and steerability.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1977Date of Patent: August 29, 1978Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted
-
Patent number: 4095849Abstract: In a tread for a power-driven ski type of device having a chain with a plurality of spaced propulsion cleats, an outwardly protruding propulsion cleat, constructed with a venting passage and with resiliency to enable it to bend and thereby withstand the dynamic forces associated with its protruding construction, and to vent snow which is continuously trapped between itself and the sprockets, when the cleat swings over and around these sprockets.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 1977Date of Patent: June 20, 1978Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted
-
Patent number: 4069881Abstract: A hand operated control system for transmitting signals from a user's hand to a running gear of a skateboard type device, comprising of a hand operated master unit, a slave unit connected to the running gear and a resilient self storing tube connecting said units for transmitting signals therein between.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 1976Date of Patent: January 24, 1978Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Samuel Shiber

Patent number: 4035035Abstract: In a tread for a power-driven ski having a chain with a plurality of spaced propulsion cleats, an outwardly protruding propulsion cleat, constructed with a venting passage and with resiliency to enable it to withstand the dynamic forces associated with its protruding construction, and to vent snow which is continuously becoming trapped between itself and the sprockets, while the cleat swings over and around these sprockets.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 1975Date of Patent: July 12, 1977Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce Hill Husted
-
Patent number: 3966010Abstract: A hand operated hydrostatic throttle & shut-off switch for remotely transmitting signals from a skier's hand to a power-driven ski's engine, comprising of a hand operated master cylinder, a slave cylinder for activating the throttle and a flexible coiled tube through which throttle control and shut-off signals are transmitted between the hand and the engine.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1975Date of Patent: June 29, 1976Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Samuel Shiber
-
Patent number: 3964560Abstract: A power driven ski with an anterior sliding portion and posterior one-way snow engaging endless belt portion, a motor for propelling the belt and control means attached to a ski pole for regulating the belt's speed.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 1975Date of Patent: June 22, 1976Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted

Patent number: RE29657Abstract: A power driven ski is divided by an aperture into anterior and posterior ski portions, which are held one to the other by a bridge so that their combined undersurfaces form a longitudinally smooth skiing undersurface throughout the length of the ski. A motor driven endless tread is circulateably supported around the posterior ski portion for thrusting against the snow over which the posterior ski portion slides.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1976Date of Patent: June 6, 1978Assignee: Saroy EngineeringInventor: Royce H. Husted
