Patent ID: 11577772

Abstract:
A device for attaching to a ski of a snowmobile includes first and second spaced apart legs. Each leg has a ski engaging portion proximate a second end that is configured to engage a bottom surface of the ski proximate outer edges thereof. The device includes at least one wheel attached to the first and second legs between the first end and the second end and a cross bar that attaches the first and second legs proximate first ends thereof. The device includes a lever arm extending from the cross bar between the first and second legs wherein the lever arm is configured to be angularly positionable relative to the first and second spaced apart legs. A handle is attached to a distal end of the lever arm and has a surface configured to engage a tip end or a ski handle of the ski. The device includes a retaining member attached to the handle that is configured to engage the ski handle, wherein when the ski engaging portions engage a bottom surface of the ski and the retaining member engages the ski handle, the ski is elevated and the at least one wheel engages the ground surface such that the skis do not contact the ground surface as the snowmobile is moved.
