  • Publication number: 20130075988
    Abstract: Skibobs are disclosed having features for conveying the skibob with rider on a moving chairlift while the rider remains mounted on the seat of the skibob. The frame and suspension are configured for elevating the underside of the skibob seat above the level of the chairlift bench during loading, so that the chairlift bench, while moving forward from behind the rider, can pick up the skibob, rider and all, and carry the mounted rider up the ski slope without falling. As the undercarriage of the skibob is lifted off the snow, the rider is deposited on the chairlift bench so that the seat of the skibob is secured in place by the weight of the rider on the seat.

  • Publication number: 20120047765
    Abstract: An accessory for use in mounting and regenerating goggles while on a helmet. Features of the helmet accessory are adapted for securing the goggles, for preventing or minimizing accumulation of snow or dirt on the optical surfaces, and for removing or resisting condensation and fogging inside the goggles. The accessory includes a “face-shaped” mounting surface with nose ridge and forehead ridge configured so that the goggles may be flush seated to protect their foam edgings when sealed against the mounting surface. The mounting system is mounted on the superior front surface of the helmet and requires no modification of the goggles or helmet for use. In use, goggles may be easily transferred from a first position when worn on the user's face to a second “standby” or “regeneration” position engaging the nose and brow ridges of the face-shaped mounting system, where the goggles may be regenerated or conveniently secured when not in use.
