Personal Transportation Device and Method

Abstract

A personal transportation device, typically for use in snow, includes first and second foot boards and a boot binding assembly for each. Each foot board may have a reverse or zero camber, with the underside having a generally flat or convex central portion and upwardly and outwardly extending end portions, which acts to lift the end portions off of the riding surface during use thereby improving performance. In some examples, the boot binding assembly may be oriented generally parallel to the length or width. The central portion may have a convex v-shape region to create a vertex under the rider's foot. One or more longitudinally extending ribs may extend from the underside of the foot boards. The foot boards may include shock absorbing bumpers or riding-surface-engaging projections extending from the edges. Attraction or repulsion elements may also be used along the edges. A method for moving may also be used.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

Personal transports devices called Boxes have been developed by companies like Snowmobile Company or others who aim to make it safer than traditional ski poles while still providing better stability during winter weather when walking on soft surfaces. These designs include independently orientated legs and adjustable footrests, allowing them to be used effectively at different levels depending upon their preference. They can help people get up faster without getting stuck due to slippery roads caused by snow covered areas.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent text is the limitations and drawbacks of existing snow sport platforms, such as snowboards and skis. These devices are locked into their specific modality of travel, resulting in a lack of versatility and efficiency. Additionally, snowboards have no provision for propulsive riding, skis are designed to be ridden facing downhill, and riders must unstrap one foot when getting onto a chair lift, causing discomfort and safety issues. The patent aims to provide a solution to these problems by introducing a new platform that offers more versatility, efficiency, and safety.
