  • Patent number: 4905338
    Abstract: A scraper for removing wax from the base of a ski includes an elongated rigid tubular member and a flat rigid generally rectangular blade projecting from the side of the tubular member between the ends thereof. The blade has a pair of parallel scraping edges extending at right angles from the tubular member at locations spaced from the opposite ends thereof. When the scraper is positioned with one of its scraping edges crosswise on a ski base and with the adjacent end of the tubular member engaging the edge of the ski, the tubular member can functioin as both a handle and a guide member for guiding the scraper along the ski. Bluntly pointed end caps are mounted to the opposite ends of the tubular member which are contoured to fit snugly in a ski base guide groove. When one of the end caps is engaged and moved along the guide groove, it effectively scrapes wax from the groove without injuring the groove or the ski base generally.
