Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
220 words
A recreational device for use on ice, comprising an elongated board-like member for supporting a user; runner mounting means affixed to the underside of said member, said mounting means comprising a first mount positioned proximal one end of said member and a second mount in tandem with said first mount and positioned proximal the other end of said member, each said mount including means for attaching a pair of ice runners thereto in spaced, parallel relationship and for providing for pivoting movement of such runners relative to the longitudinal axis of said member in response to a shift of weight of said user on said member; and two pairs of ice runners attached to said runner mounting means by means providing for selective repositioning of said runners, one pair to each said mount, each said runner having a plurality of ice-contacting portions selectively positionable for ice contact by any selected one of said portions and each said runner being generally polygonal in profile with each side of said polygon being convexly arcuate, whereby one such ice contacting portion of each runner may be selected for ice contact until it has been dulled by usage and then the runners may be repositioned to bring another such portion into ice-contacting position to effect a renewal of the ice-contacting areas of the runners.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
220 words
A recreational device for use on ice, comprising an elongated board-like member for supporting a user; runner mounting means affixed to the underside of said member, said mounting means comprising a first mount positioned proximal one end of said member and a second mount in tandem with said first mount and positioned proximal the other end of said member, each said mount including means for attaching a pair of ice runners thereto in spaced, parallel relationship and for providing for pivoting movement of such runners relative to the longitudinal axis of said member in response to a shift of weight of said user on said member; and two pairs of ice runners attached to said runner mounting means by means providing for selective repositioning of said runners, one pair to each said mount, each said runner having a plurality of ice-contacting portions selectively positionable for ice contact by any selected one of said portions and each said runner being generally polygonal in profile with each side of said polygon being convexly arcuate, whereby one such ice contacting portion of each runner may be selected for ice contact until it has been dulled by usage and then the runners may be repositioned to bring another such portion into ice-contacting position to effect a renewal of the ice-contacting areas of the runners.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A recreational device according to claim 1 wherein each said runner is generally triangular in profile.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A recreational device according to claim 1 further comprising toothed braking means affixed to the underside of said board-like member for selective engagement with an ice surface upon which said device is used.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
211 words
A recreational device for use on ice, comprising an elongated board-like member for supporting a user; runner mounting means affixed to the underside of said member, said mounting means comprising a first mount positioned proximal one end of said member and a second mount in tandem with said first mount and positioned proximal the other end of said member, each said mount including means for attaching a pair of ice runners thereto in spaced, parallel relationship and for providing for pivoting movement of such runners relative to the longitudinal axis of said member in response to a shift of weight of said user on said member; and two pairs of ice runners attached to said runner mounting means by means providing for selective repositioning of said runners, one pair to each said mount, each said runner having a plurality of ice-contacting portions selectively positionable for ice contact by any selected one of said portions and each said runner being generally oval-shaped in profile, whereby one such ice contacting portion of each runner may be selected for ice contact until it has been dulled by usage and then the runners may be repositioned to bring another such portion into ice-contacting position to effect a renewal of the ice-contacting areas of the runners.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
211 words
A recreational device for use on ice, comprising an elongated board-like member for supporting a user; runner mounting means affixed to the underside of said member, said mounting means comprising a first mount positioned proximal one end of said member and a second mount in tandem with said first mount and positioned proximal the other end of said member, each said mount including means for attaching a pair of ice runners thereto in spaced, parallel relationship and for providing for pivoting movement of such runners relative to the longitudinal axis of said member in response to a shift of weight of said user on said member; and two pairs of ice runners attached to said runner mounting means by means providing for selective repositioning of said runners, one pair to each said mount, each said runner having a plurality of ice-contacting portions selectively positionable for ice contact by any selected one of said portions and each said runner being generally oval-shaped in profile, whereby one such ice contacting portion of each runner may be selected for ice contact until it has been dulled by usage and then the runners may be repositioned to bring another such portion into ice-contacting position to effect a renewal of the ice-contacting areas of the runners.
