Abstract:
A sports device for sliding on an underlying surface, in particular a winter sports device (1), having:at least two parallel skates (2) having sliding surfaces;at least one connecting member running transversely with respect to, and jointedly interconnecting, the skates (2) such that the sliding surfaces (3) of the skates (2) lie parallel to each other, each connecting member having a prong;a foot engaging device chosen from the group consisting of bindings, standing plates and boots;at least one swivelling lever (8, 8') for securement of the foot engaging device on each connecting member;each swivelling lever (8, 8') being articulated jointedly on the connecting member by means of an offset axle member for producing an eccentric swivelling axis (5), the swivelling axis (5) not lying parallel with respect to the longitudinal axis (9) of the winter sports device, but at an angle thereto,wherein on each connecting member there are arranged at least two swivelling levers (8, 8') symmetrically and eccentrically with respect to the longitudinal axis (9) of the winter sports device (1) on each side, andwherein the swivelling levers (8, 8') are arranged in plan view at least partially outside the eccentric swivelling axes (5), which represent the connection between connecting member and swivelling lever (8, 8'), in order to achieve a corresponding edging of the skates (2) by a deflecting of the swivelling lever (8) from the horizontal central position.
