Cleaning the Closet (or garage)

I haven’t posted in some time, but I was recently reminded why I started this bog: to disclose ideas so that they will be in the public domain and therefore they cannot be patented by anyone. In this regard I saw a post by one of the big ski bloggers where he was talking about some new ski brakes and the concept of combining a brake with a crampon.

Well this is an idea I considered a few years ago when I made the jump to AT from telemark. I don’t really like brakes, but thought if I could get more out of them then it may be OK to carry the extra weight.

Above is just a small sample of the parts I produced as I developed this idea. As you can see the blades of the brake are wider than the ski when retracted (how that all works isn’t bing disclosed at this time), but that these blades are shaped in a way as to make a horizontal shelf as close to the bottom of the boot as possible. The idea is that when skinning there are often times when the snow is icy and an edge under the foot could be of use. This was produced as an experiment to try out this idea.

Lots more development went into this, but I just want to get this out to claim some authorship in the future.
