Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for treating the running surface of skis with the features according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Such a device has a housing which can be entered by skiers with strapped skis, in which an upper working opening is formed, in which both skis have space next to one another. Support members protrude into the opening from both sides of the housing in the form of pivoting plates arranged at longitudinal intervals, on which the skis are each supported.
  • a working slide is guided longitudinally and is motor-driven, which has the treatment devices for the running surfaces.
  • the support members are pivoted out of the slide track and swing back into their support position after the slide 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 be additionally raised and lowered, which requires a large number of joints, which makes the construction complex and expensive and, moreover, prone to failure, is too keep in mind that such devices are usually operated outdoors, even if under covers.
  • 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 therein are mounted in a stationary manner with respect to the housing in a housing and the skier with his skis by means of a transport roller over these rags beautifully is pulled away or led away.
  • 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.
  • this form of application is not unproblematic since the wax thickness is often very different and even the application is partially suspended.
  • devices for waxing skis in which there is a stationary wax container in a housing, in which a rotatably mounted applicator 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 are driven as transport rollers. The skier who enters the rotating transport rollers with the strapped skis is pushed over the applicator roller.
  • this type of device for waxing skis is structurally much simpler in terms of construction, but experience has shown that the wax application is unsatisfactory in these previously known devices.
  • a walk-in ski waxing device is also known from DE-OS 3249449, which has an elongated, box-shaped housing with a cover plate having 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 endless around two deflection rollers in a vertical plane and to which a support arm is attached. This is through that
  • FIRST 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 guide tracks for the skis are predetermined by side plates. This device is not expedient, and for several reasons: the skier who enters the sideways-limited guideways with the strapped-on skis is pushed by a driver engaging the ends of the skis. Since the conveyor belt or the conveyor chain which 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 .
  • the pushing force acts on the end of the ski, ie extremely eccentrically related to the focus of the skier.
  • the skis are thus pushed away from the skier's feet, so to speak, and this is also jerky because of the evenly rotating driver. 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 in order to keep the balance, 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 one only in slight details.
  • CH-PS 570 182 also shows and describes a detail of a ski waxing device.
  • a plurality of driven rollers arranged parallel to one another are stored in pairs, which apart from one pair of rollers are stationary in this housing
  • REPLACEMENT LEAF 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 somewhat 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.
  • ski waxing device is to be named according to US Pat. No. 2,537,511.
  • 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.
  • 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 engaging the ski end, be it by rotating conveyor rollers or conveyor belts.
  • a fixed wax application device be it by a driver engaging the ski end, be it by rotating conveyor rollers or conveyor belts.
  • the disadvantages pointed out in connection with the device discussed above are common to these known devices: the towed or pushed skier moves in order to keep the balance, inevitably the skis about their longitudinal axis, as a result of which the wax on the outsole of the ski becomes applied unevenly.
  • the movement imposed on the skier by the means of transport causes the skier to fall too easily, especially if the skier is inexperienced and inexperienced and if the pushing force causing the movement acts extremely eccentrically with respect to the skier's center of gravity, ie directly on the skis themselves.
  • the invention is based on this prior art, which aims to improve the application device, the skis being able to be supported in a simple manner during the treatment.
  • 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 are to act on him, which would make him fall too easily, and consequently precisely because of this "static behavior" of the skiläu ⁇ his skis are standing or lying still, so that the wax applicator now leading along the ski finds clearly defined conditions for the exercise of its intended function, so that the wax is applied evenly over the entire length and width of the ski can. With regard to these aspects, the subject invention is based on the same considerations as the ski wax application device according to DE-PS 3227 922.
