Two pivoting parts (8a, 8b) each mounted on one of the skis (1, 2) forming a pair are arranged so that each of them cooperates with two retaining parts (7a, 7b) each fixed on one of the skis. When each pivoting part (8a, 8b) is fixed via its free end to the retaining part (7a, 7b) of the same ski, the skis are separate (FIG. 1), whereas when these pivoting parts (8a, 8b) are rotated through 90.degree. and are fixed via their free end to the retaining part (7a, 7b) of the other ski, the two skis (1, 2) are locked in position relative to each other (FIG. 2). These parts allow the skier to change from conventional skiing to monoskiing and vice versa, by operating the pivoting parts and without having to remove his skis.
The accessory for skis, intended to link two skis together in order to facilitate their guidance, comprises a connecting leaf or strip (1) mounted on resiliently flexible members (3) rigidly fixed to the tips of the skis and making it possible to vary the relative position of said skis.
The clamping device for connecting a snowboard formed from two skis and a center part has a connection member which is supported on the center part so as to be swivelable around a swivel pin, this connection part having hooks formed at its ends which define corresponding receiving openings. Hardware fittings are arranged on the skis, wherein a movable hardware part is supported on a hardware part that is held on the ski in a stationary manner. Each movable hardware part has an eccentric with which hooks cooperate so as to effect a clamping after the rotation of the movable hardware parts and the compulsory rotation of the eccentrics.
The invention relates to a new type of fastening device for fastening a skin to a glide board body, in particular a ski body, with at least one glide board body fastening element that can be anchored in the glide board body, forming at least one mount that is open on the bottom of the glide board, and with one skin-side fastening element, which can be inserted into the at least one mount in order to fasten the skin.
A snowboard convertible into a pair of cross-country skis. The snowboard is characterized by joining a pair of cross-country skis together to form a snowboard and a removably mounted binding system positioned on the snowboard that is moveable between a snowboard position and a ski position. The binding system is operable in a cross-country skiing mode and a snowboarding mode when the skis are joined to form a snowboard. In an alternative embodiment of the snowboard, climbing attachments are removably attached to each ski to allow a skier to ski uphill.
