Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0882478A1] The snow show consists of a frame (1) with a transverse supporting member (3) for the boot, designed to pivot for ease of walking. The supporting member is suspended elastically inside the frame by means of couplings (5) which allow its ends to move up or down according to the load placed on it. The suspension couplings (5) are attached to the frame sides, and the frame itself is elastically flexible in a transverse direction, at least on the level of the couplings. The supporting member is attached to the couplings by means of a transverse axle (44) and has spikes on its underside. In variants of the design the supporting member can be mounted on a transverse strap or connected to the frame by springs.
