Attachment for a Ski Waxing Iron

Abstract

An attachment for a ski waxing iron, which prevents molten ski wax from flowing onto ski sidewalls, is comprised of two clamping bars and two blades. The clamping bars may be affixed to the iron base, parallel to each other. Thin blades are affixed to the front end of the clamping bars and extend rearward. From the front of the attachment to the rear, the distance between the blades becomes smaller. As the iron base with affixed attachment is drawn along the length of the ski base, the blades, held tight to the ski by spring tension, prevent molten ski wax from flowing downward onto the ski sidewalls. This results in a thicker wax layer remaining on the ski base and eliminates the need for removal of wax from the ski sidewalls.

1 . A device for ski waxing iron attachment said device comprising:
 a) (canceled)   b) two blades including flat portions, side edges and ends, each having one of said ends permanently affixed to one end of a clamp [of said clamps];
 b 1 ) [each] said blades [having a long length approximating the long length of said clamps, a shorter height, and a thickness] are elastic to allow for spring tensioning adjustable movement; 
 b 2 ) [each] said blades are oriented such that when said clamps are affixed to a ski waxing iron said blades occupy the space between said clamps; 
 b 3 ) said blades have a separation distance at the point at which said ends of said blades are affixed to said clamps which is [less] greater than the separation distance at the opposing said ends of said [clamps.] blades; 
 b 4 ) [the thin top] one said side edge of each said blade is in contact with [an iron base] the base of said ski waxing iron when said [ski waxing iron attachment is] clamps are affixed to [a] the base of said ski waxing iron [base].
