  • Patent number: 4772047
    Abstract: This invention is a pair of devices which are easily applied to and used with snow skis for protecting the tips and heels of the skis against damage otherwise possibly occurring. The devices are in the form of members each having a stem portion and a bifurcated portion. The members are readily placed between opposing running surfaces of skis to be clamped together in a conventional way and are held by clamped engagement with the skis. One device, a Y member, has arcuate portions of which engage the running surfaces of the tips and reinforce the tips against damage otherwise possibly occurring due to mishandling or the like. The other, a T member, has crossbar portions which similarly engage the heel ends of skis and protect them against damage.
