Abstract
An automatic ski waxing apparatus includes a conveyor arrangement upon which a person wearing skis may stand for transport past a plurality of processing stations. One such station removes old wax from the skis by use of a mechanical scraper followed by an applicator of liquid wax remover, followed by a drier. Another such station downstream of the first-mentioned station applies a thin film of molten wax to the under surface of the skis, then directs cold air jets on the skis to set the wax, thereafter scrapes excess wax from the bottom of the skis, and then buffs the residual wax to a polished finish. The processing stations may also include a station for sharpening the edges of the skis as a person wearing the skis is transported along the processing path.
