A ski rest assembly is provided for attachment to a ski pole in order to support the weight of a skier's ski while the skier is seated in a chairlift. The ski rest assembly comprises a ski rest which is attachable to a lower end of the ski pole. The ski rest includes a support member which is attachable to the ski pole. A pivot pin extends from the support member for receiving a support arm which is pivotally mounted onto the pivot pin. The arm is pivotable between a first position, where the arm is substantially transverse to the ski pole for supporting a ski, to a second unobstructive standby position wherein the arm is generally parallel to the ski pole. The support member has two diagonally spaced apart shoulders formed thereon. The pivot pin is located between these two shoulders. The two shoulders simultaneously engage the arm in the first position to counterbalance the weight of the ski applied to the arm so that a shear force is not applied to the pivot pin. One of the shoulders engages the arm in the second position to prevent the arm from pivoting beyond the second position. Biasing means are provided for urging the arm to the second position and maintaining the arm in the second position. The ski rest assembly also includes a bracket member which is attachable to an upper portion of the ski pole. The bracket member has a flange for hooking onto a safety bar of the chairlift so that the ski pole can be anchored onto a safety bar during use of the ski rest, thus transferring the load forces from the support member onto the safety bar. |
