ABSTRACT:
A device for locking skis in a crossed relationship. A pair of elongated, flat ski engageable members are hinged together at adjacent ends for relative movement into and out of operative positions in which the members are longitudinally aligned with each other. A central triangular wedge is mounted rigidly to one of the flat members. An inwardly facing U-shaped channel at the outer end of each of the flat members receives one side edge margin of a respective ski. The other side edge margin of the ski engages and is held against the adjacent side face of the central triangular wedge. A lock plate carried by the triangular wedge is movable into overlapping relationship to the side faces of the wedge to form channels near the zone of hinging to capture the other side edge margins of the ski to thereby secure the skis to the device. The members can be moved out of their operative positions and into side-by-side relationship to make the device sufficiently compact to fit easily into a garment pocket.
