Abstract: The present invention discloses a sports device for sliding on an underlying surface, in particular a winter sports device, having parallel skates having sliding surfaces, at least one connecting member running transversely with respect to, and jointedly interconnecting, the skates such that the sliding surfaces of the skates lie substantially parallel to each other, a standing plate and at least one swivelling lever for securement of the foot engaging device on each connecting member, wherein each swivelling lever is articulated jointedly on the connecting member by means of an offset axle member for producing an acentric swivelling axis, wherein on each connecting member (crossbar) there are arranged at least two swivelling levers symmetrically and eccentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the winter sports device on each side, and wherein the swivelling levers are arranged in plan view at least partially outside the eccentric swivelling axes, which represent the connection between connecting m

Abstract: A mono-ski frame adapted for skiing in the sitting position and designed to allow a rearward and downward traverse of the upper portion of the frame relative to the lower portion during loaded conditions to enhance the carvability during the turn. The mono-ski frame includes a lower frame having a forward end and a rearward end adapted to be attached to a ski. A foot rest is attached to the forward end of the lower frame. An upper frame having a seat mounted thereon is moveable relative to the lower frame via a first link arm. The first link arm is pivotally attached at a first position to the lower frame and at a second position to the upper frame, wherein the first position is located forwardly of the second position so that the seat attached to the upper frame travels in a rearward direction under loaded conditions.

Abstract: A gliding board, in particular a snowboard, which is formed by two skis and a central part connected by fittings, has a clamping device in the central region. The skis can be clamped against one another by the clamping device accompanied by deformation in the transverse direction so that the gliding board can be adjusted to a desired sidecut radius.

Abstract: A snow sled comprising a first substantially U-shaped frame having a cross brace that interconnects the first and second side. A second substantially U-shaped frame pivotally connected to the front end of the first frame. A first handle assembly is positioned upon the first frame. A second handle assembly is positioned upon the second frame. A seat assembly is positioned perpendicular to the cross brace. Two forward skis and two rearward skis are secured to the respective second frame and first frame.

Abstract: A new and improved stabilizer device for skiers having two skis, each of the two skis has an upper surface and a lower surface. Two front supports are secured to a corresponding upper surface of the two skis. Two back supports have a triangular support bracket theresecured. Each triangular support bracket is secured to a corresponding upper surface of the two skis. A U-shaped cross member has two convoluted end portions positioned to be secured to the two front supports and to the two back supports. Two brake handles, each of the two brake handles are secured to the U-shaped cross member. Two brake cables are secured to the corresponding brake handle and to the corresponding triangular support bracket of the back support. Two drag brakes are secured to the corresponding triangular support brackets and secured to the brake cables. Two spring mechanisms are secured to the triangular supports brackets and to the drag brakes.

Abstract: A ski sled is shown which has a seat platform carrying a seat, the platform being mounted by flexible support members to a pair of spaced, parallel skis so that the skis can be tilted with respect to the platform. A pair of steering members pivotally connected by a transverse member are connected to the skis to permit an operator to tilt the skis. A brake member is mounted on the ski sled which can be moved into and out of engagement with a ground surface.

Abstract: A support structure for disabled persons that can be adapted to attach standard wheelchair wheels for providing mobility to the disabled person while allowing interchanging accessories to change the support structure for use in sporting events such as racing and water or snow skiing. The support structure includes a cushioned member adjustably attached to a single piece elongated frame. The frame and the member include upwardly depending sides. The frame includes slots and holes to attach a propellable wheelchair wheel at the standard position and at a racing position. A steering structure is included for operation while racing. Sockets are formed in the frame to attach the pivot wheels of the wheelchair and to attach water and snow-skis to the support structure to replace the wheels.

Abstract: A snow rowing sled is provided and consists of a frame affixed between and elevated above a pair of parallel spaced apart skis. Drive mechanisms will propel the sled forward by a person sitting on a seat on the frame by manually operating thrust levers which engage the snow.

Abstract: A recreational vehicle including a runner, such as a ski, and a seat for a rider supported by a pedestal on the runner. The ski may take the form of a snow ski or grass ski. The pedestal may be permanently or removably secured to the runner. The seat may also be shock-mounted and, if desired, two seats may be mounted in tandem on the runner.

Abstract: A seat affixed to an extra wide ski for use primarily by paraplegics for the sport of water skiing. The seat is comprised of a tubular framework with a fabric sling-type seat which supports the rider in a forward angled seated position with the knees drawn up towards the chest. Padded front and side rails prevent forward and lateral movement of the rider's buttocks. Frictional fit of the rider's buttocks between the padded side rails and placement of the knees and legs over the front rail secure the rider in position without the use of belts or straps. The tubular framework is affixed to a base which is connected to the central top surface of the sky by bolts. Foot bindings are affixed to the forward top surface of the ski to removably retain the rider's feet.

Abstract: Self-orientation apparatus for a vehicle having a dual wheel axle assembly wherein the rear axle is movable relative to the vehicle frame about a pivot axis centrally disposed in front of the rear axis. A pair of low-friction skids between the axle and each rear spring allow relative movement therebetween, and first and second pairs of converging arms extend from the base of the springs and the axle, respectively, and converge at said pivot axis where the two pairs of arms are joined by a trunnion.
