ABSTRACT:
A ski accessory transportation and storage system (10) for transportation and storage of skis (12) and various ski parephernalia. The ski accessory transportation and storage system (10) includes a housing formed of a central frame member (20) extending in a vertical direction (22). An upper support member (24) and a lower support member (38) extending in a transverse direction (26) are coupled in fixed relation to the central frame member (20). A ski capturing mechanism (48) is mounted both on the upper support member (24) and the central frame member (20) and includes a plurality of U-shaped channels or ski bracket members (50) within which skis (12) are vertically inserted. The ski capturing mechanism (48) further includes a ski locking mechanism rotationally coupled to the central frame member (20) and lockingly engageable with both the upper support member (24) and the lower support member (38). The system (10) further includes a wheel mechanism (90) which allows wheel members (100) to be rotationally displaced to either a stored position or to a usable position for rolling contact with a base surface (102). In this manner, system (10) may be used for carrying and transportation of various ski paraphernalia by manual actuation of the user as well as providing a storage container adapted for releasable contact with a vehicle roof (16) for transportation of the ski paraphernalia over long distances.
