Abstract: A portable ski wax applicator includes a container having heat-conductive walls defining a wax receiving well and a removable cover rendering the container substantially splash-proof in normal use, the walls including a flat bottom wall and end wall extending obliquely from the bottom wall and having an orifice extending therethrough, a valve element extending through the orifice and projecting outwardly from the end wall, a spring resiliently urging the valve element outwardly to close the orifice, an electrical heating element for heating the walls and liquifying wax in the well, and a handle which is grasped for moving the applicator along a ski surface with the end wall generally parallel to the surface while pressing the outer end of the valve element against the surface to deposit liquid wax thereon, and then for moving the applicator along the surface with the bottom wall adjacent to and generally parallel to the surface for spreading the deposited wax on the surface.

Abstract: A tool adapted for renovating or conditioning skis by sharpening the bottom and side surfaces thereof and including an elongated body having a pair of spaced apart shaving strips extending in parallelism along its underneath side and a pair of depending shaving blocks near its opposite ends, the blocks being spaced apart a distance slightly greater than the maximum width of any ski to be renovated by proper use of the tool.
