INFLATABLE SNOWSHOE AND RUCKSACK FOR ITS STORAGE

摘要

The invention relates to a snowshoe and rucksack for its storage with an application in the sports sphere and in particular on snow covered and ice- frozen terrains. The inflatable snowshoe contains a corpus and fixing belts. The corpus consists of a cylindrical air chamber (1) and protective case (2). The air chamber (1) forms a closed contour having the form of an elliptical ring with a circular cross section and is placed in the protective case (2). The air chamber (1) has a valve (6) mounted on it the end (11) of which passes through an opening (10) formed in the rear part of the protective case (2). The protective case (2) is made of separate sections of a strong, wear- resistant material. The frontal part of protective case (2) contains three sections which are raised in relation to the horizontal axis under an angle of α, which falls within the interval between 35 to 40°. Over the entire internal circumference of protective case (2) there is a zipper (3), ensuring quick and easy placing of the air chamber (1) in casing (2). Fixing belts (4a) and (4b) are provisioned respectively for the front and rear part of the shoe. To the lower part of the fixing belts (4a) for the frontal part of the surface metal spikes (9) are mounted in a mobile way and they ensure a better grip of ice-frozen terrains. The rucksack has been especially designed for the storage of the snowshoe in its inflated state and under given conditions it also plays the role of a back protector. The profile of the rucksack corresponds completely to the profile of the snowshoe.
