ABSTRACT:
An adjusting device for adjusting the position of weights mounted for longitudinal movement within a ski. A drum is rotatably supported within a housing on the ski and has flat belts wound thereon, one belt extending to a weight supported for movement between the binding area on the ski and the tail of the ski and the other belt extending to a weight mounted for movement between the tip of the ski and the binding area. A manually engageable setting member is provided for rotating the drum to control the amount of flat belt wound onto the drum. A hollow member is provided in the ski to simplify the manufacturing process. The hollow member has the flat belts and the weights mounted therein for movement with respect thereto along the longitudinal axis of the ski. Printed indicia can be provided on either the flat belts or on the ski to indicate the relative location of the weights with respect to the tip and the tail of the ski.
