Abstract

The device claimed is designed to treat the running surfaces of skis. It has a housing (1), which the skier enters with his or her skis on, with a device for cleaning, drying, applying wax and warming. Support members are provided to support the skis (22) during this treatment of the running surfaces, as well as a drive device which produces a relative motion between the ski running surfaces and the treatment device. The support members comprise several freely rotating rollers (12) disposed parallel to each other. Their spindles (11) are held on one side in a substantially horizontal guideway (9) and linked to chain-like transport members (8). The treatment device, or rather the frame (13) which holds the device, is also linked to the chain-like transport members (8). Rollers (12) are disposed both in front of and behind the treatment device in its frame (13), and the transport members (8) displace the rollers (12) and the treatment device along the guideway (9). The horizontal guideway (9) for the freely rotating rollers (12), which act as support members, is approximately twice as long as the length of the longest skis (22) to be treated.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Behandeln der Lauffläche von Skiern mit den Merkmalen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for treating the running surface of skis with the features according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Einrichtungen dieser Art sind bekannt. Eine solche Vorrichtung weist ein von Skifahrern mit angeschnallten Skiern betretbares Gehäuse auf, in dem eine obere Arbeitsöffnung gebildet ist; in der beide Skier nebeneinander Platz haben. In die Öffnung ragen von beiden Seiten des Gehäuses aus Stützorgane in Form von in Langsabständen angeordneten Schwenkplatten hinein, auf denen die Skier jeweils abgestützt sind. Im Gehäuse selbst ist ein Arbeitsschlitten längsbeweglich geführt und motorisch angetrieben, der die Behandlungseinrichtungen für die Laufflächen aufweist. Beim Passieren des Schlittens werden die Stützorgane aus der Schlittenbahn herausgeschwenkt und schwingen nach dem Vorbeigang des Schlittens wieder in ihre Stützstellung zurück. Der Skifahrer behält während des gesamten Behandlungsvorganges seine Position gegenüber der Vorrichtung bei (DE-OS 32 27 922, US-PS 4 457 255). Der Schlitten enthält einen in mehrere Abteile geteilten Behälter. In den Abteilen sind um Querachsen drehbar gelagerte Walzen, z.B. eine in ein Flüssigkeitsbad eintauchende Reinigungswalze, sowie eine in einen Wachsvorrat eintauchende Wachsauftragwalze gelagert, die beide beheizbar sind. Der Schlitten enthält die weiteren Laufflächenbehandlungseinrichtungen, wie Anwärmeeinrichtung, Gebläse, Polierwalze, Trocknungseinrichtung, Abschabeeinrichtung, ggf. Kantenschleifeinrichtung usw. Diese Konstruktion ist außerordentlich aufwendig. Die in großer Zahl vorhandenen Schwenkplatten müssen ja nicht nur schwenkbar, sondern auch noch zusätzlich heb- und senkbar gelagert sein, was eine Vielzahl von Gelenken erfordert, was die Konstruktion aufwendig und teuer macht und darüberhinaus auch noch störanfällig, ist doch zu bedenken, daß solche Vorrichtungen in der Regel im Freien, wenn auch unter Abdeckungen betrieben werden.Devices of this type are known. Such a device has a housing which can be entered by skiers with strapped skis and in which an upper working opening is formed; in which both skis have space next to each other. Supporting members protrude into the opening from both sides of the housing in the form of swivel plates arranged at long intervals, on which the skis are each supported. In the housing itself, a work slide is guided in a longitudinally movable manner and is driven by a motor and has the treatment devices for the running surfaces. When passing the sled, the support members are pivoted out of the sled run and swing back into their support position after the sled has passed. The skier maintains his position relative to the device during the entire treatment process (DE-OS 32 27 922, US Pat. No. 4,457,255). The carriage contains a container divided into several compartments. In the compartments, rollers rotatably mounted about transverse axes, for example a cleaning roller immersed in a liquid bath, and a wax applicator roller immersed in a wax supply, both of which can be heated. The carriage contains the further tread treatment devices, such as heating device, blower, polishing roller, drying device, scraping device, possibly edge grinding device, etc. This construction is extremely complex. The large number of swivel plates must not only be swiveled, but also additionally raised and lowered, which requires a large number of joints, which makes the construction complex and expensive and moreover prone to failure, but it must be borne in mind that such Devices are usually outdoors, although they are operated under covers.

Auftragseinrichtungen dieser Art sind auch bei solchen Vorrichtungen zum Wachsen von Skiern vorgesehen, bei welchen in einem Gehäuse der Behälter für die Wachsbevorratung und die darin eintauchende Auftragswalze ortsfest bezüglich des Gehäuses gelagert sind und der Skiläufer mit seinen Skiern mittels Transportwalzen über diese Auftragseinrichtung hinweggezogen bzw. hinweggeleitet wird. Bei diesen vorbekannten Einrichtungen wird über eine in ein Wachsbad eintauchende Auftragswalze das Wachs durch Drehen der Walze an die Unterseite des Skis gebracht und dort aufgetragen. Wie die Praxis zeigt, ist diese Form der Auftragung nicht unproblematisch, da die Wachsstärke oft sehr unterschiedlich ist und sogar zum Teil der Auftrag aussetzt.Application devices of this type are also provided in such devices for waxing skis, in which the container for the wax storage and the application roller immersed in it are mounted in a housing in a stationary manner with respect to the housing and the skier with his skis is pulled or guided over this application device by means of transport rollers becomes. In these previously known devices, the wax is brought to the underside of the ski by rotating the roller and applied there by means of an application roller immersed in a wax bath. As practice shows, this form of application is not without problems, since the wax thickness is often very different and even the application is partially suspended.

Ferner sind auch solche Vorrichtungen zum Wachsen von Skiern zu erwähnen, bei welchen in einem Gehäuse ein ortsfester Wachsbehälter ist, in welchen eine drehbar gelagerte Auftragswalze ragt. Zu beiden Seiten dieses ortsfesten Behälters für das flüssige Wachs sind Stützwalzen vorgesehen, deren Achsen bezüglich des Gehäuses ebenfalls ortsfest gelagert sind, die aber als Transportwalzen angetrieben sind. Der Skiläufer, der mit den angeschnallten Skiern diese sich drehenden Transportwalzen betritt, wird über die Auftragswalze geschoben. Gegenüber der eingangs erwähnten vorbekannten Konstruktion ist diese Art der Vorrichtung zum Wachsen von Skiern zwar konstruktiv gesehen viel einfacher aufgebaut, erfahrungsgemäß ist bei diesen vorbekannten Einrichtungen der Wachsauftrag jedoch unbefriedigend.Also to be mentioned are devices for waxing skis in which there is a stationary wax container in a housing, in which a rotatably mounted application roller projects. Backing rollers are provided on both sides of this stationary container for the liquid wax, the axes of which are also mounted in a stationary manner with respect to the housing, but which are driven as transport rollers. The skier who enters the rotating transport rollers with the strapped skis is pushed over the applicator roller. Compared to the known construction mentioned at the outset, this type of device for waxing skis is structurally much simpler in design, but experience has shown that the wax application is unsatisfactory in these previously known devices.

Auch aus der DE-OS 3249 449 ist ein begehbares Skiwachsgerät bekannt, das ein längliches, kastenförmiges Gehäuse besitzt mit einer zwei Führungsbahnen für die Skier aufweisenden Deckplatte. In dem Gehäuse sind ortsfest Bürsten drehbar gelagert. Ferner ist eine Schiebeeinrichtung für die Skier vorgesehen mit einem um zwei Umlenkrollen in einer Vertikalebene endlos umlaufenden Förderband, an dem ein Stützarm befestigt ist. Dieser ist durch das umlaufende Förderband in einem zwischen den Führungsbahnen vorgesehenen Längsschlitz bewegbar und trägt einen Mitnehmer, der sich an den Skihinterenden anlegt und die Skier dann zusammen mit dem Skiläufer über die Führungsbahnen schiebt. Die Wachsauftrageinrichtung ist in dem genannten Gehäuse ortsfest angeordnet. Die Führungsbahnen für die Skier sind durch seitliche Bleche vorgegeben. Diese Einrichtung ist nicht zweckmäßig, und zwar aus mehreren Gründen: Der Skiläufer, der mit den angeschnallten Skiern in seitlich begrenzte Führungsbahnen tritt, wird von einem an den Enden der Skier angreifenden Mitnehmer angeschoben. Da das Förderband oder die Förderkette, die diesen Mitnehmer bewegt, notwendigerweise eine gleichmäßige Umlaufgeschwindigkeit besitzen muß, kann diese Umlaufgeschwindigkeit nur sehr gering sein, da der Mitnehmer ja den auf die Führungsbahnen tretenden Skifahrer auf die Umlaufgeschwindigkeit der Fördereinrichtung beschleunigen muß. Darüberhinaus greift die Schubkraft am Skiende an, auf den Schwerpunkt des Skifahrers bezogen also extrem exzentrisch. Dem Skifahrer werden also die Skier sozusagen unter den Füßen weggeschoben, und dies wegen des gleichmäßig umlaufenden Mitnehmers darüberhinaus noch ruckartig. Dies wird in der Regel insbesondere bei ungeübten Skiläufern notwendigerweise Stürze zur Folge haben. Da ein geschobener Skiläufer erfahrungsgemäß, um das Gleichgewicht zu halten, mit den Skiern Querbewegungen macht, die Skier also um ihre Längsachse bewegt und dies natürlich auch während des Überfahrens der Wachsauftrageinrichtung, wird das Wachs oder Gleitmittel zwangsweise ungleichmäßig auf die Laufsohle der Skier aufgetragen. Alle diese Überlegungen und Fakten gelten auch für die Einrichtung nach der DE-OS 3237 753. Die hier gezeigte und beschriebene Skiwachseinrichtung unterscheidet sich von der erstbesprochenen nur in geringfügigen Details.DE-OS 3249 449 also discloses a walk-in ski waxing device which has an elongated, box-shaped housing with a cover plate which has two guide tracks for the skis. Fixed brushes are rotatably mounted in the housing. Furthermore, a sliding device for the skis is provided with a conveyor belt which is endlessly rotating around two deflection rollers in a vertical plane and to which a support arm is fastened. This is through that revolving conveyor belt can be moved in a longitudinal slot provided between the guideways and carries a driver which lies against the rear of the ski and then pushes the skis together with the skier over the guideways. The wax application device is arranged in a fixed manner in the housing mentioned. The guideways for the skis are defined by side panels. This device is not practical, for several reasons: The skier who enters the sideways-limited guideways with the strapped-on skis is pushed by a driver that engages the ends of the skis. Since the conveyor belt or the conveyor chain that moves this driver must necessarily have a constant rotational speed, this rotational speed can only be very low, since the driver must accelerate the skier stepping onto the guideways to the rotational speed of the conveyor. In addition, the thrust affects the end of the ski, so extremely eccentric in relation to the skier's center of gravity. The skis are pushed away from the skier's feet, so to speak, and this because of the evenly rotating driver also jerkily. As a rule, this will necessarily result in falls, especially for inexperienced skiers. Since experience has shown that a pushed skier makes transverse movements with the skis, i.e. moves the skis about their longitudinal axis and this, of course, also while driving over the wax application device, the wax or lubricant is forcibly applied unevenly to the outsole of the skis. All of these considerations and facts also apply to the device according to DE-OS 3237 753. The ski waxing device shown and described here differs from the first discussed only in slight details.

Auch die CH-PS 570 182 zeigt und beschreibt ein Detail einer Skiwachseinrichtung. In einem kastenartigen Gehäuse sind paarweise mehrere parallel zueinander angeordnete, angetriebene Walzen gelagert, welche bis auf ein Walzenpaar in diesem Gehäuse ortsfest sind. Das eine Walzenpaar ist in vertikaler Richtung durch Federn abgestützt. Der über die Skiwachseinrichtung von den sich drehenden Walzen geschobene Skiläufer drückt unter Überwindung der Kraft der genannten Federn dieses Walzenpaar etwas nach unten, wodurch ein Schaltvorgang ausgelöst wird, durch welchen in der Folge über nach oben gegen die Skiunterseite gerichtete Düsen Wachs versprüht wird.CH-PS 570 182 also shows and describes a detail of a ski waxing device. In a box-like housing, a plurality of driven rollers arranged parallel to one another are mounted in pairs, which apart from a pair of rollers are stationary in this housing are. One pair of rollers is supported in the vertical direction by springs. The skier pushed over the ski waxing device by the rotating rollers pushes this pair of rollers downwards while overcoming the force of the springs mentioned, which triggers a switching process by means of which wax is sprayed via nozzles directed upwards against the underside of the ski.

Ferner ist noch die Skiwachseinrichtung nach der US-PS 2537 511 zu benennen. Hier sind in einem langgestreckten Gehäuse zwei Förderbänder gelagert, die, bezogen auf ihre Förderrichtung, hintereinander liegen. Zwischen diesen beiden Förderbändern ist eine innerhalb des Gehäuses ortsfeste Wachsauftrageinrichtung untergebracht.Furthermore, the ski waxing device is to be named according to US Pat. No. 2,537,511. Here, two conveyor belts are stored in an elongated housing, which, in relation to their direction of conveyance, lie one behind the other. Between these two conveyor belts, a wax applicator that is stationary within the housing is accommodated.

Weitere Skiwachseinrichtungen mit ortfesten Skiwachsauftrageinrichtungen, über welche die Skiläufer mit angeschnallten Skiern mittels unterschiedlicher Transportmittel bewegt werden, sind auch in folgenden Druckschriften gezeigt und beschrieben: DE-B 1578 879; CH-A 670 770 und DE-U-8101 204.Further ski waxing devices with fixed ski waxing devices, by means of which the skiers with strapped skis are moved using different means of transport, are also shown and described in the following publications: DE-B 1578 879; CH-A 670 770 and DE-U-8101 204.

Schlußendlich ist noch die aus dem DE-U-8816 113 bekannte Plattform für eine talwärtige Schlepp- oder Skiliftstation zu erwähnen, die mit einem mit Skiern begehbaren Belag versehen ist. Auf dieser hier im Bereich eines Skiliftes vorgesehenen Plattform soll eine Skiwachseinrichtung geschaffen werden. Dieser Belag bzw. diese Plattform besitzt über eine Länge von 1,5 bis 2,5 m zwei parallel verlaufende Rinnen, deren Breiten mindestens der eines Skis entspricht und auf deren Grund nach oben gerichtete Düsen angeordnet sind, über welche Flüssigwachs ausgesprüht wird. Vor den Rinnen mit diesen Düsen sind ortsfeste Bürsten und Heißluftdüsen angeordnet, die zum Reinigen und Trocknen des Ski dienen. Zwischen den in den Rinnen angeordneten Düsen sind angetriebene Walzen vorgesehen, auf welche die Skier gestellt und durch welche die Skier transportiert werden. In einer besonderen Ausbildung ist vorgesehen, daß der Belag bzw. die Plattform Teil eines perforierten Förderbandes sei. Unterhalb dieses Förderbandes sind die Düsen zum Versprühen des Flüssigwachses vorgesehen. Dabei soll dieses Förderband auch beheizbar sein. Abgesehen davon, daß es fraglich ist, wie der auf dem Förderband stehende Ski von darunterliegenden Düsen mit Flüssigwachs besprüht werden soll, ist auch nicht erkennbar, warum dieses Förderband bzw. die Plattform für den Skiauftrag beheizt werden sollte, außer daß dadurch erreicht wird, daß der auf die Plattform bzw. auf die Förderbänder fallende Schnee abgeschmolzen wird. Dem Schutz dieser Einrichtung dient eine hier erwähnte Überdachung bzw. die Abdeckung mit einer abrollbaren Folie. Diese Einrichtung ist nicht zweckmäßig, da durch das Aufsprühen von Flüssigwachs kein hinreichender, qualitativ einwandfreier Wachsbelag aufgebracht werden kann, schon gar nicht, wenn zwischen diesen Sprühdüsen Stützrollen vorgesehen sind, die den Ski antreiben, abgesehen davon, daß diese Antriebswalzen bzw. deren Lager wohl nur allzu bald vom versprühten Wachs verklebt sein werden.Finally, the platform known from DE-U-8816 113 for a valley-side towing or ski lift station is to be mentioned, which is provided with a surface that can be walked on with skis. A ski waxing device is to be created on this platform provided here in the area of a ski lift. Over a length of 1.5 to 2.5 m, this covering or platform has two parallel channels, the widths of which correspond at least to that of a ski and on the bottom of which are arranged upward-directed nozzles through which liquid wax is sprayed. Fixed brushes and hot air nozzles are arranged in front of the channels with these nozzles, which are used to clean and dry the ski. Driven rollers are provided between the nozzles arranged in the grooves, on which the skis are placed and through which the skis are transported. In a special training it is provided that the covering or the platform is part of a perforated conveyor belt. The nozzles are below this conveyor belt intended for spraying the liquid wax. This conveyor belt should also be heatable. Apart from the fact that it is questionable how the ski standing on the conveyor belt is to be sprayed with liquid wax from nozzles underneath, it is also not clear why this conveyor belt or the platform for the ski application should be heated, except that it is achieved that the snow falling on the platform or on the conveyor belts is melted. The protection of this device is served by a canopy mentioned here or the cover with a rollable film. This device is not expedient, since by spraying on liquid wax no adequate, qualitatively perfect wax coating can be applied, especially not if support rollers are provided between these spray nozzles that drive the ski, apart from the fact that these drive rollers or their bearings are probably all too soon will be stuck from the sprayed wax.

Allen diesen besprochenen Skiwachsauftrageinrichtungen ist gemeinsam, daß gegenüber einer feststehenden Wachsauftrageinrichtung der Skiläufer mit den angeschnallten Skiern bewegt wird, sei es durch einen am Skiende angreifenden Mitnehmer, sei es durch sich drehende Förderwalzen oder aber Förderbänder. Die im Zusammenhang mit der oben besprochenen Einrichtung aufgezeigten Nachteile sind diesen bekannten Einrichtungen gemeinsam: Der gezogene bzw. geschobene Skiläufer bewegt, um das Gleichgewicht zu halten, zwangsweise die Skier um ihre Längsachse, dadurch wird das Wachs auf der Laufsohle des Skis ungleichmäßig aufgetragen. Abgesehen davon läßt die dem Skifahrer aufgezwungene Bewegung durch die Transportmittel diesen allzu leicht stürzen, vor allem, wenn es sich um ungeübte und wenig erfahrene Skiläufer handelt und wenn die die Bewegung bewirkende Schubkraft gegenüber dem Schwerpunkt des Skiläufers extrem exzentrisch angreift, also unmittelbar an den Skiern selbst.All of these ski wax application devices discussed have in common that the skier is moved with the strapped-on skis in relation to a fixed wax application device, be it by a driver attacking the end of the ski, be it by rotating conveyor rollers or conveyor belts. The disadvantages shown in connection with the device discussed above are common to these known devices: the towed or pushed skier moves to keep the balance, forcibly the skis about their longitudinal axis, as a result of which the wax is applied unevenly to the outsole of the ski. Apart from this, the movement imposed on the skier by the means of transport causes the skier to fall too easily, especially if it is inexperienced and inexperienced skiers and if the pushing force which causes the movement acts extremely eccentrically with respect to the skier's center of gravity, i.e. directly on the skis self.

Von diesem Stand der Technik geht die Erfindung aus, die darauf abzielt, die Auftragsvorrichtung zu verbessern, wobei die Skier während der Behandlung in einfacher Weise abgestützt werden können, ohne daß dadurch die Behandlung, insbesondere der Wachsauftrag, in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wird, was gemäß des erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlages durch jene Maßnahmen gelingt, die Inhalt und Gegenstand des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Patentanspruches 1 sind.The invention, based on this, is based on this prior art aims to improve the application device, whereby the skis can be supported in a simple manner during the treatment, without thereby affecting the treatment, in particular the application of wax, which, according to the proposal according to the invention, is achieved by means of those measures which are the content and subject of the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die gegenständliche Erfindung zeigt hier einen neuen Weg auf, der diese Nachteile der bekannten Einrichtungen beseitigt. Sie geht von der Überlegung aus, daß der Skifahrer während des Wachsauftragens ruhig steht, auf ihn also keine Förder- oder Schubkräfte einwirken sollen, die ihn allzu leicht stürzen lassen, und daß in der Folge eben wegen dieses "statischen Verhaltens" des Skiläufers dessen Skier ruhig stehen oder liegen, so daß die nunmehr am Ski entlang führende Wachsauftrageinrichtung für die Ausübung der ihr zugedachten Funktion eindeutig definierte Verhältnisse vorfindet, so daß dadurch das Wachs über die gesamte Länge und Breite des Skis gleichmäßig aufgetragen werden kann. Der gegenständlichen Erfindung liegen bezüglich dieser Aspekte dieselben Überlegungen zugrunde wie der Skiwachsauftrageinrichtung nach der DE-PS 3227 922.The present invention shows a new way that eliminates these disadvantages of the known devices. It is based on the consideration that the skier stands still during the wax application, that is to say that no conveying or pushing forces should act on him, which would make him fall too easily, and that it is precisely because of this "static behavior" that the skier's skis stand or lie still, so that the wax application device now leading along the ski finds clearly defined conditions for the exercise of its intended function, so that the wax can be applied evenly over the entire length and width of the ski. With regard to these aspects, the present invention is based on the same considerations as the ski wax application device according to DE-PS 3227 922.

Die Zeichnung veranschaulicht ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung. Es zeigen: Fig. 1 einen schematischen Längsschnitt durch die Vorrichtung und Fig. 2 einen Querschnitt - Schnittlinie II - II in Fig. 1 - in einem gegenüber Fig. 1 vergrößerten Maßstab; Fig. 3 den Gestellrahmen mit den Behandlungseinrichtungen in einem gegenüber Fig. 1 vergrößerten Maßstab und Fig. 4 die beheizbare Platte in schräger Draufsicht; Fig. 5 eine andere Ausführungsform der beheizbaren Platte und Fig. 6 einen Längsschnitt durch diese.The drawing illustrates an embodiment of the invention. 1 shows a schematic longitudinal section through the device and FIG. 2 shows a cross section — section line II-II in FIG. 1 — on a larger scale than in FIG. 1; 3 shows the frame with the treatment devices on an enlarged scale compared to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 shows the heatable plate in an oblique plan view; Fig. 5 shows another embodiment of the heatable plate and Fig. 6 shows a longitudinal section through this.

In einem langgestreckten, schmalen und oben offenen Gehäuse 1 sind im Bereich der schmalen Stirnseiten 2 und 3 Antriebsräder 4 und Umlenkräder 5, 6 und 7 jeweils paarweise vorgesehen, über welche endlose Transportelemente 8, hier in Form von Ketten, geführt sind. Diese Räder 4, 5, 6 und 7 besitzen horizontal liegende Achsen und die paarweise vorgesehenen, endlosen Transportelemente 8 liegen in vertikalen Ebenen (Fig. 2). Entlang den oberen Längsseiten des Gehäuses 1 erstrecken sich Führungen 9, in welchen Stützrollen 10 laufen, die endseitig an den Achsen 11 von frei drehbaren Walzen 12 angeordnet sind. Solche Walzen 12 sind in größerer Zahl und mit Abstand voneinander vorgesehen und stehen untereinander durch die endlosen Transportelemente 8 miteinander in Verbindung. Ebenfalls an diesen beiden Transportelementen 8 befestigt und an den Schienen 9 geführt ist ein Gestellrahmen 13, in welchem die für die Behandlung der Skilaufflächen oder Skilaufsohlen vorgesehenen Einrichtungen untergebracht sind, beispielsweise eine Reinigungsbürste 14, eine Polierbürste 15, ein Heißluftgebläse 16, ein Kaltluftgebläse 17, ein beheizbarer Wachsbehälter 18 mit einer Wachsauftragvorrichtung 19 und Abstreifer 20. Das endlose Transportelement 8, das hier als Kette ausgebildet ist, ist, wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, nur über einen Teil seiner Länge mit Walzen 12 bestückt, wobei bezogen auf die Behandlungseinrichtung bzw. den Gestellrahmen 13 sowohl vor wie auch hinter diesen Walzen 12 angeordnet sind.In an elongated, narrow housing 1 open at the top, drive wheels 4 and deflection wheels 5, 6 and 7 are provided in pairs in the area of the narrow end faces 2 and 3, via which endless transport elements 8, here in the form of chains, are guided. These wheels 4, 5, 6 and 7 have horizontal Axes and the endless transport elements 8 provided in pairs lie in vertical planes (FIG. 2). Guides 9, in which support rollers 10 run, which are arranged at the ends on the axes 11 of freely rotatable rollers 12 extend along the upper longitudinal sides of the housing 1. Such rollers 12 are provided in large numbers and at a distance from one another and are connected to one another by the endless transport elements 8. Also fixed to these two transport elements 8 and guided on the rails 9 is a frame frame 13, in which the devices provided for the treatment of the skiing surfaces or soles are accommodated, for example a cleaning brush 14, a polishing brush 15, a hot air blower 16, a cold air blower 17, a heatable wax container 18 with a wax application device 19 and stripper 20. The endless transport element 8, which is designed here as a chain, is, as can be seen in FIG. 1, only equipped with rollers 12 over part of its length, with reference to the treatment device or the frame 13 are arranged both in front of and behind these rollers 12.

Oberhalb der Walzen 12 (siehe Fig. 2), und zwar im Mittelbereich, sind Spannwiderlager 21 angeordnet, deren mit den Skiern 22 zusammenwirkenden Seitenkanten 23 keilförmig nach unten verlaufend abgeschrägt sind. Diese schrägen Seitenkanten 23 konvergieren nach unten. Bezüglich des Gehäuses 1 sind diese Spannwiderlager 21 ortsfest angeordnet und wirken mit Spannbacken 24 zusammen, die beispielsweise pneumatisch betätigbar sind. Das Gehäuse 1 ist ungefähr doppelt so lang wie die größte Länge des größten zu behandelnden Ski.Above the rollers 12 (see FIG. 2), specifically in the central region, tension abutments 21 are arranged, the side edges 23 of which interact with the skis 22 are chamfered downwards in a wedge shape. These oblique side edges 23 converge downwards. With regard to the housing 1, these clamping abutments 21 are arranged in a stationary manner and interact with clamping jaws 24, which can be actuated pneumatically, for example. The housing 1 is approximately twice as long as the greatest length of the largest ski to be treated.

Anstelle von Ketten, die als Transportelemente 8 eingesetzt werden, können auch Stahlseile oder Bänder verwendet werden. Anstelle von endlosen Transportelementen 8 (siehe Fig. 1) können auch solche Transportelemente 8 verwendet werden, die endlich ausgebildet sind, wobei dann an den schmalen Stirnseiten des Gehäuses 1 keine Umlenkräder sondern Aufwickelwalzen vorgesehen werden.Instead of chains, which are used as transport elements 8, steel cables or straps can also be used. Instead of endless transport elements 8 (see FIG. 1), it is also possible to use transport elements 8 which are finally formed, with the narrow end faces of the housing then 1 no idler wheels but take-up rollers are provided.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Vorrichtung wird im Freien, vorzugsweise jedoch mit einem Dach überdeckt, aufgestellt und ist mit einer Antriebs- und Steuervorrichtung ausgestattet, die hier jedoch nicht dargestellt ist. Zum Antrieb der Antriebsräder 4 ist ein Motor vorgesehen, der zweckmäßigerweise mit einem Münzautomaten in Wirkverbindung steht. In der Ausgangs- und Ruhelage befindet sich der Gestellrahmen 13 am linken Ende des Gehäuses 1 (Fig. 1), so daß die obere Öffnung des Gehäuses 1 über ihre ganze Länge von Walzen 12 überdeckt und überspannt ist. Der Skiläufer, in Fig. 1 von rechts kommend, betritt diese Walzen und wird dann durch optische und/oder mechanische Weisungshilfen in den Mittelbereich der Einrichtung geleitet (Fig. 1). Durch den Einwurf einer Münze setzt er nun die Einrichtung in Betrieb, wobei der vorerst links (Fig. 1) liegende Gestellrahmen 13 über das endlose Transportelement 8 nach rechts gezogen wird, wobei die randseitig unterstützten und geführten Walzen 12 unterhalb des Ski durchlaufen und diesen tragen, wobei gleichzeitig über die im Gestellrahmen 13 befindlichen Behandlungseinrichtungen die Skilaufsohle bearbeitet und gewachst wird. Während des Betriebs der Einrichtung sind die Skier festgehalten, und zwar durch jene Einrichtung, die aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich ist. Im Mittelbereich der Walzen 12 ist ein Spannwiderlager 21 vorgesehen, dessen Seitenkanten 23 keilförmig geschrägt sind, wobei diese Seitenkanten nach unten konvergieren. Von der Außenseite her wirken - vorzugsweise pneumatisch betätigt - Spannbacken 24 ein und drücken die von den Walzen 12 getragenen Skier 22 gegen die Seitenkanten 23, wobei deren Schräge für die ordnungsgemäße Positionierung der Skier sorgt. Ist der Gestellrahmen 13 über die gesamte Länge der Skier gefahren und befindet er sich nunmehr in seiner rechten (Fig. 1) Endlage innerhalb des Gehäuses 1, so kehrt er dann in seine Ursprungslage zurück, sobald der Skiläufer die Einrichtung verlassen hat, da das Transportelement 8 trotz seiner endlosen Gestaltung hier nur eine hin- und hergehende Bewegung ausführt. Die Einrichtung könnte auch so gestaltet sein, daß sich das endlose Transportelement 8 nur und ausschließlich in einer Richtung bewegt. Dies würde jedoch voraussetzen, daß das Gehäuse 1 höher ausgebildet wird, damit für den Gestellrahmen 13 beim jeweiligen Rücklauf ausreichend Platz unten zur Verfügung steht. Anstelle eines endlosen Transportelementes 8 kann auch ein Transportelelement mit Enden vorgesehen werden, wobei dann an den beiden schmalen Stirnseiten 2 und 3 des Gehäuses 1 Aufwickelwalzen anzuordnen wären.The device described above is installed outdoors, but preferably covered with a roof, and is equipped with a drive and control device, which is not shown here. A motor is provided for driving the drive wheels 4, which is expediently in operative connection with a coin operated machine. In the initial and rest position, the frame 13 is at the left end of the housing 1 (Fig. 1), so that the upper opening of the housing 1 is covered and spanned by rollers 12 over its entire length. The skier, coming from the right in FIG. 1, enters these rollers and is then guided into the central region of the device by optical and / or mechanical instruction aids (FIG. 1). By inserting a coin, he now puts the device into operation, whereby the frame frame 13, which is initially on the left (FIG. 1), is pulled to the right via the endless transport element 8, the rollers 12 supported and guided on the edge passing below and carrying the ski , the ski sole being processed and waxed simultaneously via the treatment devices located in the frame 13. During operation of the device, the skis are held in place by the device shown in FIG. 2. A clamping abutment 21 is provided in the central region of the rollers 12, the side edges 23 of which are beveled in a wedge shape, these side edges converging downward. From the outside, preferably pneumatically operated, clamping jaws 24 act and press the skis 22 carried by the rollers 12 against the side edges 23, the bevel of which ensures the correct positioning of the skis. If the frame 13 has been run over the entire length of the skis and is now in its right (FIG. 1) end position within the housing 1, it then returns to its original position as soon as the skier has left the device, since the transport element 8 despite its endless design, only executes a reciprocating movement here. The The device could also be designed so that the endless transport element 8 only moves in one direction. However, this would presuppose that the housing 1 is made higher, so that there is sufficient space below for the frame 13 at the respective return. Instead of an endless transport element 8, a transport element with ends can also be provided, in which case winding rollers would then have to be arranged on the two narrow end faces 2 and 3 of the housing.

Die Vorrichtung ist mit einer Programmsteuerung ausgestattet, die dafür sorgt, daß nach dem Einschalten des Antriebsmotors für das Antriebsrad 4 die einzelnen Betätigungseinrichtungen in zeitlich richtiger Folge ablaufen, sobald die Skier festgespannt sind und der Antriebsmotor seine Tätigkeit aufgenommen hat.The device is equipped with a program control, which ensures that after switching on the drive motor for the drive wheel 4, the individual actuating devices run in the correct chronological order as soon as the skis are tightened and the drive motor has started to operate.

Aus der vorstehenden Beschreibung und auch aus Fig. 2 ist ersichtlich, daß die als Stützorgane dienenden frei drehbaren Walzen 12 einstückig über die Breite des Gehäuses 1 ausgebildet sind. Grundsätzlich ist es natürlich möglich, über die Achslänge diese Walzen sozusagen zu unterteilen, so daß das Stützorgan über die Breite B des Gehäuses 1 und einer Vielzahl einzelner Rollen besteht. Das würde jedoch den Aufwand erwartungsgemäß vergrößern.From the above description and also from FIG. 2 it can be seen that the freely rotatable rollers 12 serving as support members are formed in one piece over the width of the housing 1. In principle, it is of course possible to subdivide these rollers over the axis length, so to speak, so that the support member is made over the width B of the housing 1 and a large number of individual rollers. However, this would increase the effort as expected.

Die Führungen 9 sind im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als nach oben offene U-förmige Schienen ausgebildet. Um das Eindringen von Fremdkörpern und Fremdmaterialien in diese Führungsschienen 9 zu verhindern oder zumindest zu erschweren, sind die oberen Ränder des Gehäuses über diese Führungsschienen gezogen, wie Fig. 2 veranschaulicht. Darüberhinaus wäre es auch möglich, anstelle von nach oben offenen U-Schienen seitlich offene C-förmige Führungsschienen zu verwenden.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the guides 9 are designed as U-shaped rails which are open at the top. In order to prevent or at least make it difficult for foreign bodies and foreign materials to enter these guide rails 9, the upper edges of the housing are drawn over these guide rails, as illustrated in FIG. 2. In addition, it would also be possible to use laterally open C-shaped guide rails instead of upwardly open U-rails.

Wurde vorstehend erläutert, daß das Spannwiderlager 21 ortsfest angeordnet ist und die äußeren Spannbacken 24 beweglich gelagert sind, so liegt es im Rahmen der Erfindung, diese Anordnung kinematisch umzukehren, d. h., die beweglichen Spannbacken innen und die festen Widerlager außen vorzusehen. Anstelle einer pneumatischen Betätigung dieser beweglichen Spannbacken können auch andere Betätigungseinrichtungen (Spindelantrieb; Hydraulikantrieb; Hebelgestänge) vorgesehen sein.Was explained above that the clamping abutment 21 is arranged in a stationary manner and the outer clamping jaws 24 are movably mounted are, it is within the scope of the invention to kinematically reverse this arrangement, that is, to provide the movable jaws inside and the fixed abutments outside. Instead of pneumatic actuation of these movable clamping jaws, other actuating devices (spindle drive; hydraulic drive; lever linkage) can also be provided.

Fig. 3 zeigt den Gestellrahmen 13 in einem gegenüber Fig. 1 vergrößerten Maßstab. Der Behälter 18 ist hier durch eine Scheidewand 25 in zwei Kammern 26 und 27 unterteilt, beide Kammern sind beheizt. Jeder dieser Kammern ist eine Pumpe 28 und 29 zugeordnet, von welchen aus Rohr- oder Schlauchleitungen 30, 31 zu einer beheizten Metallplatte 19 führen, die an ihrer Oberseite flache muldenartige Vertiefungen 33, 34 aufweist, in welche von unten her die erwähnten Schläuche oder Rohrleitungen münden. Bezogen auf die relative Bewegungsrichtung zwischen Ski und Platte 19 liegen diese muldenartigen Vertiefungen 33 und 34 im vorderen Abschnitt der beheizten Platte 19. Mittels Federn 32 liegt beim betriebsmäßigen Einsatz diese beheizte Platte 19 an der Laufsohle des zu behandelnden Ski 22 an. Im Boden der muldenartigen Vertiefungen 33 und 34 sind eine Vielzahl von Düsenbohrungen, die in Fig. 4 durch Punkte dargestellt sind und durch welche das heiße, dünnflüssige Wachs auf die Skisohle aufgesprüht wird. Die Pumpen 28 und 29 sind als Tauchpumpen ausgebildet und liegen in der flüssigen Wachsmasse.FIG. 3 shows the frame 13 on an enlarged scale compared to FIG. 1. The container 18 is divided here by a partition 25 into two chambers 26 and 27, both chambers are heated. Each of these chambers is assigned a pump 28 and 29, from which pipe or hose lines 30, 31 lead to a heated metal plate 19, which has flat trough-like depressions 33, 34 on its top, into which the hoses or pipes mentioned come from below flow out. In relation to the relative direction of movement between the ski and the plate 19, these trough-like depressions 33 and 34 lie in the front section of the heated plate 19. By means of springs 32, during operation, this heated plate 19 lies against the outsole of the ski 22 to be treated. In the bottom of the trough-like depressions 33 and 34 there are a large number of nozzle bores, which are represented by dots in FIG. 4 and through which the hot, low-viscosity wax is sprayed onto the ski sole. The pumps 28 and 29 are designed as submersible pumps and are in the liquid wax mass.

Eine zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung der beheizten Platte 19 zeigen die Fig. 5 in Draufsicht und die Fig. 6 im Längsschnitt. Die Platte 19 besitzt zwei Gruppen A und B von düsenartigen Wachsaustrittsöffnungen 35, die in Bewegungsrichtung der Platte 19 gesehen hintereinander liegen. Die Achsen dieser Wachsaustrittsöffnungen 35 sind etwas geneigt (Fig. 6) und schließen mit der relativen Bewegungsrichtung des Ski einen spitzen Winkel ein. Jede der beiden Gruppen A und B ist mit einer Rohrleitung 30 bzw. 31 verbunden, über welche das flüssige Wachs aus den Kammern 26 und 27 zu diesen Wachsaustrittsöffnungen geleitet wird. An den beiden Endabschnitten der Platte 19 sind auf ihrer Oberseite Querleisten 36 und 37 angeordnet, zwischen welchen die beiden erwähnten Gruppen A und B der düsenartigen Wachsaustrittsöffnungen 35 liegen. Diese Querleisten sind aus einem reibungsarmen Material und dienen als Auflager für Skier. Die Oberkante dieser Querleisten 36 und 37 liegen um ein geringes Maß oberhalb der Oberseite der Platte 19. Zweckmäßigerweise ist die seitliche Begrenzungsfläche 38 der einen Querleiste 37 etwas abgeschrägt, die mit der darüberstreichenden Skifläche einen Keilraum bildet, der den Wachsauftrag begünstigt. In Fig. 6, die einen Längsschnitt durch die beheizbare Platte 19 darstellt, ist noch das Heizelement 39 angedeutet.An expedient embodiment of the heated plate 19 is shown in FIG. 5 in plan view and in FIG. 6 in longitudinal section. The plate 19 has two groups A and B of nozzle-like wax outlet openings 35 which, as seen in the direction of movement of the plate 19, lie one behind the other. The axes of these wax outlet openings 35 are somewhat inclined (FIG. 6) and form an acute angle with the relative direction of movement of the ski. Each of the two groups A and B is connected to a pipe 30 or 31, via which the liquid wax from the chambers 26 and 27 to these wax outlet openings is directed. At the two end sections of the plate 19, transverse strips 36 and 37 are arranged on its upper side, between which the two groups A and B of the nozzle-like wax outlet openings 35 mentioned lie. These cross bars are made of a low-friction material and serve as a support for skis. The upper edge of these cross bars 36 and 37 are slightly above the top of the plate 19. The lateral boundary surface 38 of the one cross bar 37 is advantageously slightly beveled, which forms a wedge space with the ski surface over it, which favors the wax application. 6, which represents a longitudinal section through the heatable plate 19, the heating element 39 is also indicated.

Die weiteren hier innerhalb des Gestellrahmens vorgesehenen Aggregate wie Reinigungsbürste 14, Polierbürste 15, Heißlufgebläse 16, Kaltluftgebläse 17 und Abstreifer 20 entsprechen im wesentlichen jenen Konstruktionsteilen, wie sie auch bei anderen Wachsauftrageinrichtungen vorbekannt sind.The further units provided here within the frame, such as cleaning brush 14, polishing brush 15, hot air blower 16, cold air blower 17 and wiper 20, essentially correspond to those structural parts as are also known in other wax application devices.

Wird die Anlage von einem Skiläufer in der oben beschriebenen Art in Betrieb genommen, so kann er mittels Knopfdruck unter zwei Wachsarten wählen, je nach Schnee- und/oder Witterungsverhältnissen. Das gewünschte Wachs wird unter hohem Druck mittels der Pumpe über die erwähnten Düsen versprüht und dabei gleichmäßig auf die Laufsohle verteilt, wobei die beheizte Platte 19 eine Art Bügelfunktion übernimmt, in dem sie das aufgesprühte Wachs mit ihrer heißen Fläche gleichmäßig auf der Laufsohle verteilt und in diese "einbügelt". Die Behälter für das Wachs können auswechselbar ausgebildet sein, um so das Wachs rasch wechseln zu können. Zweckmäßigerweise ist unterhalb der Abstreifer 20 ein Behälter angeordnet, der das überschüssige, abgestreifte Wachs aufnimmt. In der vorliegenden Zeichnung ist ein solcher Behälter angedeutet.

The desired wax is sprayed under high pressure by means of the pump via the nozzles mentioned and is evenly distributed over the outsole, the heated plate 19 performing a type of ironing function in which it distributes the sprayed wax with its hot surface evenly on the outsole and in this "ironed". The containers for the wax can be designed to be exchangeable so that the wax can be changed quickly. A container is expediently arranged below the strippers 20, which holds the excess, stripped wax.
