Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an improvement of a waxing iron for skis, which allows waxing even when skis are held diagonally.

Structure of conventional example and its problems Conventionally, in a ski wax iron of the type that applies wax to the sliding surface of skis by melting solid wax in a melting furnace and flowing the wax appropriately from a nozzle, the melted wax is There were problems such as spilling from the melting furnace and getting into the inside of the wax iron or the temperature control section, or spilling onto the handle and causing burns on hands. Also, since the ski iron must be used horizontally, the sliding surface of the ski must be held horizontally.
When performing waxing, there were major restrictions on the location and direction.

Purpose of the invention The present invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a wax iron for skis that can apply wax without spilling the melted wax from the melting furnace even when the iron is tilted. The purpose of this is to ensure time safety, eliminate spatial constraints, and improve the workability of waxing work.

Structure of the invention The present invention includes a base having a heater, an outer cover integrally formed on the base for opening and closing the upper opening of the wax melting furnace, and an inner cover inside the outer cover for opening and closing the upper opening of the wax melting furnace. This structure prevents melted wax from spilling from the wax melting furnace even if the iron is tilted.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings. In FIG. 1, 1 is a base in which a heater 2 is embedded, 3 is a wax melting furnace formed integrally with the base 1, and 4 is a base 1 and a wax melting furnace 3.
5 is an opening/closing rod provided above the nozzle 4, 6 is a spring that urges the opening/closing rod 5 downward, 7 is a fixing plate that fixes the opening/closing rod 5 so that it can move up and down, and 8 is a fixed A screw for attaching the plate 7 to the upper part of the melting furnace 3; 9 an operating lever engaged with the upper part of the opening/closing rod 5 for raising and lowering the opening/closing rod 5; 10 an operation button attached to the end of the operating lever; 11 an opening/closing lever. Rod 5
and an outer cover that protects the operating lever 9 from above, 12
13 is a thermostat that controls the temperature of the base 1; 14 is a temperature setting knob that adjusts the thermostat 13; 15 is engaged with the opening/closing rod 5 and the operating lever 9 to open and close the opening of the melting furnace 3. It is the inner lid. Next, the mounting structure of the inner lid 15 will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. An arm 16 is integrally molded above the inner lid 15, and a hole 17 is provided at the end of the arm 16. 18 is a hole provided at the upper end of the opening/closing rod 5, and 19 is a hole provided at one end of the operating lever.
Reference numeral 20 denotes a mounting pin that fits into a hole 18 of the opening/closing rod 5, a hole 17 provided in the arm 16 of the inner lid 15, and a hole 19 provided in the operating lever 9, and is rotatably attached.

The operation of the ski wax iron constructed as described above will be explained below. The base 1 and the wax melting furnace 3 are heated by the heater 2 and controlled by the thermostat 13 to a temperature suitable for waxing. In this controlled temperature state, the outer lid 1
When solid wax is poured into the wax melting furnace 3 through the opening of the wax melting furnace 3 by opening the inner lid 15 in the direction A and the inner lid 15 in the direction B, the wax melts and accumulates inside the wax melting furnace 3. Now, close the inner lid 15 and outer lid 11, place the wax iron on the sliding surface of the ski by holding the handle 12, and press the operation button 10, the spring 6 will be compressed and the opening/closing rod 5 will move upward. ,
The molten wax flows out through the nozzle 4 and is applied to the running surface of the ski. Further, this wax is thinly spread on the rear surface of the base 1, so that a good wax adhesion state can be obtained. Further, even if the wax iron is tilted as shown in FIG. 4, the inner lid 15 closes the opening of the wax melting furnace 3, so the melted wax A will not spill out.

Effects of the invention As explained above, according to the invention, by providing the inner lid, even if the wax iron is accidentally placed upright or tilted, the melted wax will not spill out of the wax melting furnace. There is no risk of burns, so waxing can be done safely. In addition, waxing can be done even when the skis are propped up on a chair or the like, allowing good waxing to be done in a comfortable position and without being restricted by location or direction. Furthermore, since the inner cover is rotatably attached to the upper end of the opening/closing rod, wax can be added without removing the inner cover, preventing loss, and it can also be rationally installed in a melting furnace. . In addition, since this inner lid can be removed from the melting furnace along with the opening/closing rod, it has the excellent effect of not only removing residual wax when replacing with a different wax, but also making cleaning the inside of the melting furnace simple and easy. It is something to do.
