  • Convertible skier seat and ski carrier
    Patent number: 4456284
    Abstract: A support strap convertible from a skier seat to a ski carrier and vice versa, the strap comprising pockets at the ends of the strap for receiving a pair of ski pole handles whereby the strap is adapted to be suspended between generally upright ski poles to define a skier seat. The pockets include ski straps adapted to define loops into which the hands of the skier in the skier seat can be inserted for stability. The support strap is capable of use as a ski carrier by disposition of the ski straps about a pair of skis to hold them together in parallel, unitary relationship, with one of the ski straps in engagement with at least a portion of the ski bindings. The support strap defines a loop which can be slung over the shoulder of the skier.
