A device with straps (without the quiver) is desribed on http://www.freepatentsonline.com/5383587.html => certainly not a bag!
Günther Toussaint Oct 26, 2006:
Eveb it your patent WAS a ski-bag (which I setiously doubt), the "Aufnahmeköcher" would only constitute a part of that! So I think that you are heavy on the woodway...
Günther Toussaint Oct 26, 2006:
I don't think that is is a bag at all. Sounds like a short round/cylinder shaped object (quiver) that holds just the ends of the skis plus something that hold the tips plus a connecting strap plus a shoulder strap...

apart from arrows, you can put rods, poles and any other lengthy objects into a quiver... why not skis?
Note from asker:
David, you and I came to the same conclusion as I too looked this word up in a dictionary and found "quiver." However, this word does not fit the context of a patent.
Thanks! I changed the glossary entry.
