Abstract
A device for conveniently and securely carrying elongated items has a pair of hingeable members hingeably connected to each other at one of their ends. At least one of the pair of hingeable members comprises an inner plate and an outer plate. The inner plate can be releasably secured to the outer plate so that the inner and outer plates define a cavity which receives an elongated item. A handle is provided on at least one of the hingeable members at the end thereof opposite the hinge. A latch is provided on the two hingeable members and cooperates to releasably fasten the members together in a side-by-side relationship to define a closed position of the device. In this way, elongated items can be carried securely and conveniently. The device can be opened from a closed position to attain two configurations, namely, a fully open, horizontal position and a ski-insertion position.
