This invention relates specifically to a wheeled apparatus for transporting skis and related equipment.
Skiers need to carry lots of equipment when they go to the slopes. If these people are parents with smaller children then they must also carry the little one's share. This can take lots of the fun out of the day's adventure. It can also be dangerous what with whirling skis and sharp ski poles. It seems that there is a need for a device which can safely transport a variety of ski equipment and be conveniently stored away in a very small area.
Parker, U.S. Pat. No. 5,340,153, discloses a ski carrier that will carry two pair of skis on a wheeled dolly similar to the type used to transport utility poles behind a truck. That is, attach one end of the long object to a pair of wheels and attach the opposite end to a vehicle.
Garvey Jr, U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,666,184 and 4,792,159 discloses a two wheeled carrier for a single pair of skis and Kybutz, U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,198 discloses a one wheel device for a single pair of skis. All of these devices are adequate for their intended uses but fall far short of the goal of this invention; to provide a multi-purpose cart that can not only carry three or more pair of skis, boots and poles but can also be used to carry other gear.
