Abstract: A ski sharpener for simultaneously honing the vertical and horizontal surfaces of a ski edge which comprises a base member having a base portion and a connected side portion disposed at right angles to provide a support or base against which a plurality of file sections are longitudinally and vertically spaced to provide an intermittent filing surface in two planes disposed normal to one another whereby the intermittent filing surfaces are arranged to simultaneously engage the vertical and horizontal surfaces of a ski edge in a honing operation. In one form of the device the ski sharpener is provided with one set of intermittent filing surfaces, and in another form the ski sharpener is provided with a plurality of sets of intermediate filing surfaces whereby the degree of coarseness of each set varies.

Abstract: A dispensing device which is adapted for applying predetermined amounts of a coating material, e.g., paint, to a wall or ceiling surface, which is stored or supplied from a container which is remotely disposed from the point of application. The dispensing device includes a dispensing head connected to a supply of coating material by a hose or conduit. The dispensing head is hand-held and includes a rotor which operates to periodically squeeze the coating material from the hose so as to dispense the material as needed. To assist in dispensing the coating material through an extensive length of hose, the paint supply is pressurized.
