s1 and s2 together with the binding facing the other ski with the tips at opposite ends in a manner to assure that the skis will be protected and yet are easily carried one pair of skis may be carried with the ski bindings mounted on the skis the clamps 100 shown in fig1 rely on the compression of one binding heel plate spring as shown in fig8 one compression spring as shown fig2 for its holding action as shown in fig1 the clamps are normally used in pairs and clamp the skis at spaced locations along the length of the skis the spacing is a function of the position of the bindings where the ski binding heel plate is used in a given clamp the compression spring c counter opposes the heel plate spring acting on the second ski the coaction of one ski binding heel plate in one clamp and spring in the second clamp maintains the principal length of the ski blades which are generally linear in a parallel position as in fig1 with the tips at opposite ends and held apart so as not to damage the other ski by removing the ski bindings two pairs of skis may be carried as shown in fig2 for example one of the clamps 100 is shown in.
