Abstract:
A recreational cross-country sled assembly includes a standard sled and a kit adapting the sled for transporting children and equipment over snow-covered terrain while nordic skiing. The kit includes a towing harness system for interconnecting the sled and skier torso, and a seat and frame structure for mounting on the sled. The towing harness system includes an elongated towing structure in the form of a pair of towing poles, being pivotally coupled to the sled, and a belt to be worn by a skier and to which the towing poles are attached for pulling the sled. The kit also includes sets of carrying straps with releasable connecting elements for attachment on the sides of the sled to be used to hold equipment. The seat and frame structure includes a U-shaped frame member supported in an inverted, inclined relationship to a top portion of the sled by an upright frame member, and a seat cover and cushion mounted by inclined U-shaped frame member in overlying relation to the top portion of the sled.
