  • Patent number: 3976303
    Abstract: A device adapted to be mounted on, or integral with the upper surface of a snow ski for the purpose of removing ice, snow, mud, and the like from the bottom of a skier's boot prior to insertion of the boot into the binding. The device may be in the shape of a disk or may have any one of a variety of other outer contours presenting a scraping surface of substantially uniform magnitude to a ski boot as the boot is drawn toward and across a central region of the device regardless of the orientation of the ski relative to the boot.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 3976304
    Abstract: A device adapted to be mounted on, or integral with, the upper surface of a snow ski for the purpose of removing ice, snow, mud, and the like from the bottom of a skier's boot prior to insertion of the boot into the binding. The device is generally in the shape of a disk, a ring, a polygon, or variations of those shapes so as to present a maximum scraping surface to the boot regardless of the direction of approach of the boot relative to the ski. At the same time, a smaller lower surface is provided for mounting on the ski with a minimal effect on the flex of the ski, and the device has preferably a low profile and a beveled edge or ramp so as to prevent crossed skis from becoming interlocked either between the scraper and the ski or between the scraper and the boot binding.
