ABSTRACT:
A toboggan (10) includes a front section (30) that is selectively connectable to a rear section (32) by a connector (34). The connector (34) includes a plurality of laterally spaced and vertically offset tenons (70) that are carried by the front section (30) and a plurality of corresponding mortises (72) that are carried by rear section (32). A pair of bolts (80) removably extend through sections (30, 32). The forward portion of front section (30) is selectively configurable into a forward curved portion (12). Forward curved portion (12) is held in a curved configuration by a rope (36) that extends about the perimeter of toboggan (10), through a plurality of channels (50). Each end (52, 54) of the rope (36) has a knot (56, 58) that is selectively retained by a slotted knot retainer (60) carried by the front section (30). When the rope (36) is disconnected from the knot retainers (60), the front section (30) returns to its normal flat configuration. The toboggan (10) may be folded into a compact form by removing the bolts (80) and disconnecting the connector (34). The sections (30, 32) may then be folded over on top of each other.
