Device for applying ski wax to skis

The present invention relates to a device for applying ski wax to skis.

It is well known that skiers use the tread of skis to be coated with special preparations or ski wax in order to make these skis more slippery on the snow close.

This process, which used to be done by wiping a block of chiwax back and forth on the running surface of the ski was carried out, is currently often done by brushing the running surface with pre-melted ski wax executed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for applying ski wax to Sheer, in which the melting of the ski wax itself is achieved with a stream of hot air.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for applying ski wax on skis, which is able to carry out a suitable preheating of the running surface of the skis itself.

These tasks and others are advantageously achieved by using the device with hot air flow, which forms the subject of the present invention.

This device is easy to attach to the mouth of a

0300Λ3 / 058 1

Warm air generator can be connected, for example and preferably from a normal electric hairdryer may exist, this connection via a correspondingly designed and dimensioned pipeline is feasible, which is provided with secure connection and sealing members or precautions is.

With the inlet line for the warm air is a transversely arranged distribution chamber within the device connected for the warm air. A C-shaped pipe element is hinged to the distribution chamber in a sealed manner The section running parallel to the chamber is provided with a series of outlet openings for the warm air.

This element for guiding the warm air on the running surface of the skis can in particular also consist of a T-shaped tube construction that connects to the front part of the warm air distribution chamber stands.

The device according to the invention also has an arm which, in the region of its upper end, is attached to the inlet line is hinged for the hot air with the possibility of pivoting about a horizontal transverse axis and is provided at its lower end with a tong member which is formed so that thereon one or several pieces of Schiwax can be securely clamped in place.

If the device is used, the arm that carries the ski wax will bring that down when dropped Schiwax with the outer surface of the distribution chamber

for the warm air in contact so that the ski wax gradually melts and onto the tread of the ski drips where it forms a thin layer, which is there evenly by sliding the device back and forth is distributed.

It should be noted that the device is placed on the lower surface of the ski in the position of use so that the distribution chamber for the warm air rests on the same LO and a little further on the perforated section of the C-shaped tubular element comes to rest, after which the device itself on this surface in Is moved back and forth several times and thus preheating this and at the same time on this the Schiwachs ,, which softens and drips off in contact with the outer surface of the hot air distribution chamber, applies evenly.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the distribution chamber be designed in such a way that they form the double wall of a small tub to hold molten Forms ski wax, which is provided with closable openings for the exit of the ski wax itself.

These and other functional and structural features of the device for quickly and easily applying ski wax to skis, which is the subject matter of the present Invention forms are explained in more detail with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawing. show it:

4 shows this small tub schematically in a perspective view.

Thereafter, the device according to the invention for application from Schiwachs to Schier an inlet line 2, that of the outlet of an electric hair dryer or another suitable warm air generator 1 is assigned.

With this inlet line 2, the distribution chamber 3 is connected, which in the area of its side ends with two small protruding cylindrical pipes 4 is provided.

On the lines 4 are, sealed and with the possibility of rotation, the short ends 5 'of the C-shaped element 5 set, which has a tubular cross-section and in the region of its end-face portion 5 "is provided with a series of bores 6 through which the warm air flows out to the tread of the ski 7 to which the ski wax is to be applied.

According to an alternative embodiment, the element for guiding warm air onto the running surface of the skis consist of the T-shaped pipe structure 12 which is attached to the front part of the distribution chamber 3 and is connected to it.

The device according to the invention also has the arm 8, which is articulated with the possibility of pivoting about a horizontal transverse axis in the area of a suitable bearing 9 which is firmly connected to the line 2. This arm 8 is provided at its free end 8 'with a pincer element 10, by means of which it is possible to clamp one or more pieces of ski wax 11 which are intended to form a thin ski wax layer II ¹ on the running surface of the ski 7.

In a further development of the invention, the distribution chamber 3 can form a hollow wall which is a small trough 13 in which the kiwax or a suitable mix of waxes is limited to that available on the market Art is introduced.

In the walls of this small tub 13 passages 14 are formed, which correspond to the space are isolated and designed to allow the molten shrub wax to emerge.

These passages 14 are assigned threaded pins 15 which are provided with a wing head 16, the has the task of adjusting and closing the opening width of the passages 14 in the manner of the needle cocks.

The device according to the invention with hot air flow to Application of chiwax to skis and the components of this device can have numerous variations and modifications experienced, depending on the various manufacturing advantages and the specific practical application, each provided for the device itself, including improvements that may include be stimulated by practical experience.

These variants can include both the functional parts indicated above, which are a fferkmal of the present Form invention, as well as have their construction and / or assembly details as an object, without from the To withdraw from the scope of the present invention.
