Apparatus for gliding over snow
View Patent ↗An apparatus for gliding over snow is disclosed. The apparatus comprises at least two decks coupled via a swivel arm. Each deck comprises a strap to receive a foot of a user, and a board coupled to the deck via a connector. The user stands on the decks to create swivel-motion with the help of the swivel arm. The swivel-motion created at the deck is transferred to the connector and to the board to create forward momentum and glide the board over the snow.
1. An apparatus for gliding over snow, the apparatus comprising:
at least two decks coupled via a swivel arm, each deck comprising:
a strap to hold a foot of a user; and
a board coupled to the decks via a connector, wherein the board is placed on snow, wherein the user stands on the decks to create a swivel-motion, and wherein the swivel-motion created at the deck with the help of the swivel arm is transferred to the connector and to the board to create forward momentum and glide the board over the snow, wherein the connector comprises at least two first sections a second section, and a third section, wherein the first sections are coupled to the board, and wherein the second section is coupled to the deck, wherein the two first sections and the third section comprise cut sections, wherein the second section comprises a plurality of fins operably coupled to the cut sections provided in the two first sections and the third section, and wherein the swivel motion created at the deck is transferred to the third section, the second section, to the first sections, and to the board to glide the board over the snow.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the board comprises a first end, a center and second end, wherein the first end and the second end are raised at an angle to provide steering, pivoting and carving when the board glides over the snow.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connector comprises a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is coupled to the deck, wherein the second section is coupled to the board, and wherein the first section and the second section are coupled using a connecting rod.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the first section is provided as a caster at an angle of 45 degrees to facilitate 360 degree spinning motion, such that the spinning motion created at the deck is transferred to the second section via the connecting rod in order to move the board forward.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the swivel arm comprises a toggle to facilitate folding of the swivel arm.
