Abstract
A holder for a si sharpening file includes a U-shaped elongated body, one leg of the U being longer than the other, the longer leg being provided with means for holding a flat file on its inwardly facing surface. The shorter leg acts as a guide bar or rib which is spaced from the file, the end of the shorter leg acting as a guide surface to be placed against the edge of the ski while filing the bottom or contact surface thereof. A handle is disposed on the outside surface of the body, the body also including an extension beyond the file retaining leg to partially support the handle. In a further embodiment a rim surrounds the file which is retained by sprins. A handle projects laterally from the outer surface of the longer leg and holds a scraper.
Claims4
An apparatus for sharpening edges, particularly the edges of skis, comprising
- a file;
- and
- a holder for said file comprising
- an elongated body having a cross-section in substantially the shape of a U with one leg of the U being longer than the other, said longer leg including
- means defining an elongated recess extending inwardly in the inner surface of the longer leg of said body to receive said file, the depth of said recess being less than the thickness of said file,
- the distal end surface of the other, shorter leg of the U constituting a guide surface for the file;
- means for removably attaching said file to the inwardly facing surface of the longer leg of the U of said body with the long dimension of said file extending parallel to the long dimension of said body, said means including
- spring means extending between the inwardly facing surface of said shorter leg and said file;
- and
- handle means attached to an outwardly facing surface of said body for manually manipulating said body.
