Apply ski wax on the spot as quickly and conveniently as possible to the ski and connect it to the ski. the The device according to the invention is used for applying and for heating and distributing that which has been applied to the ski sole Ski wax and for connecting the ski wax to the ski running surface.

Ordinary irons are often used for this purpose. Besides being an iron in itself for the is not intended for the specified purpose, an iron is also dependent on the stationary power supply. It will also more or less suitable coating bodies used for the stated purpose, which are applied before the ski wax is applied on an open flame, for example with. Help of dry alcohol to be warmed. One such possibility Although it offers the advantage that it is available at any location regardless of the power supply. However is Such a procedure is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming. Strings made of full metal are also available, which can be attached to a conventional soldering iron and heated by conduction via its heating device will. But here, too, one is dependent on the fixed power grid, which in most cases is immediate

The heating resistor arrangement is designed so that when operated with the voltage of conventional motor vehicle batteries, ie
usually 12 or 6 volts, a temperature of the coating body which is sufficient for the present purpose is obtained. If necessary, the heating resistor arrangement can also be designed so that it can be switched over to several different operating voltages, so that the coating tool according to the invention can be used optionally

can be operated at, for example, 12 or 6 volts.

In the painting tool according to the invention, the painting body and the handle are firmly assembled so that on a pressure sufficient to distribute the ski wax can be transmitted to the coating body. The handle can be aligned, for example, as an extension of the tablet. However, the handle is preferably transverse to the stroking body arranged, i.e. it lies approximately in the vertical center plane of the skiing surface when the brush is used. The handle can be connected to the stroking body via a connecting bracket. He prefers to bet immediately on the string body.

The coating body can be designed, for example, in the form of a plate. It is preferably rod-shaped. Its when spreading The leading and trailing edges of the ski wax on the coating surface are preferably rounded so that this is initially arbitrarily applied ski wax is squeezed between the coating body and the skiing surface when it is spread and is not pushed along a sharp edge of the body in front of it. It is easiest when the string body is made cylindrical.

This prevents molten wax from running into the running groove of the ski sole when the wax is spread a rib that fits into the running groove is / is preferably arranged in the longitudinal center of the coating body on the latter. The dimensions of the rib are here such that they can engage in the running groove without the contact of the The strike surface of the strike body with the outsole of the ski is prevented. The rib can also be attached to the running groove in this way adjust so that the rib surfaces come into contact with the surfaces of the barrel groove and thus wax on the groove surfaces as well can be distributed and elapsed.

The rib is preferably designed in such a way that it can be adapted to differently dimensioned running grooves. This can be achieved, for example, by varying the width of the ribs over the length of the rib. It can be on Coating body also several coarse surfaces are provided, which have corresponding ribs of different widths. With an appropriately designed string body, the rib can also only be over a part of the circumference of the string body.

Let the body run so that it comes into contact with the outsole in a certain position with a rib-free smooth brushing surface and, after rotating about its longitudinal axis, engages part of the rib in the running groove and another part of its brushing surface rests on the running surface of the ski . A tubular brush body is best suited for such a design, which is provided with a corresponding rib in its longitudinal center along part of its circumference, for example half its circumference. Such arrangements of the rib have the advantage that the groove-free shovel of the ski can also be waxed without removing the brushed body.

Another possibility for taking different running groove dimensions into account is to have the rib interchangeable to attach the string body, so that the rib in adaptation to the respective running groove against a rib accordingly other dimensions can be exchanged. The easiest way to do this is to design the rib as a clamp or clamp, which can be clamped onto the coarse body as required. As long as the bracket or the clamp are not needed, they can be clamped onto the handle.

A preferred embodiment of the invention can be seen from the figure of the drawing and is described below described.

The ski wax coating tool shown consists of a cylindrical coating body 1 made of brass tube and an in the longitudinal center of the coarse on this attached tubular handle 2, from which the cable 3 is led out is, which in a commercially available connector 4 for the socket of cigarette lighter on motor vehicles ends.

In the hollow interior of the string body 1, two hexagonal coils 5 are arranged so as to be insulated from the inner circumference of the coating body 1 via an insulating tube 6. Each heating coil 5 extends from the longitudinal center of the body 1 to each end of the coating body and is soldered to the cover 4 with the outer connection end 7 there. For this purpose, each cover has a hole in its center, into which the connection end 7 is inserted. The one in the Connection ends 8 of the heating conductor coils 5 lying in the longitudinal center of the coating body 1 are passed through a corresponding opening

The cover 4, the connection ends 7 of the coils 5 as well as the pipe socket 11 are connected to the tubular coating body 1 by brazing. This can work in a single yciCuchen. On dac Ge * .-; ¹ !: ^ ^{0 Λ <3} «Rnhrstutzens 11, the handle 2 is screwed with its one end up to the stop on the body 1. The connecting ends 8 of the coils 5 are insulated from the metallic jacket of the coating body 1 and the metallic pipe socket 11 via a tube 15 made of insulating material which is inserted into its bore up to the stop on the insulating tube 6 in the coating body 1.

In the other open end of the handle 2, which is made of heat-insulating material, for example wood, plastic

Material or insulating pressed material is a train protection device 16 screwed in from a wood screw 17 and a shoulder 18 protruding outward from its screw head, with which a clamp 19 for clamping the cable 3 is screwed.

In the longitudinal center of the tubular brush body 1 there is a rib 20 made of one shown above in the figure Clamping bracket 21 clamped on. The rib has dimensions which are adapted to those of a conventional running groove in the outsole of a ski are. If necessary, the clamping bracket 21 forming the rib 30 can be exchanged for one with other rib dimensions be soft to the dimensions of other running grooves are adapted.

The heating conductor coils 5 are dimensioned such that when a

body 1 be a one-piece metal tube whose circumferential surface is encased by a jacket made of, in particular, a heat-insulating material.

During use, for example, a hard wax plate is held against the heated coating body and with it Move over the running surface so that the wax melted on the coating body in coarse chunks, if necessary runs on the tread. The hard wax sheet is then removed and the coarsely distributed wax on the ski surface ironed over with the brush, the wax melts again and spreads very evenly on the tread distributed.

The bracket 21 can be over. = Length varies in width be, so that depending on the position of the painting tool to the skiing surface, a narrower or wider rib 20 for engagement is available in a narrower or wider groove on the ski sole.
