ABSTRACT:
A portable ski clamping apparatus is described for rigidly supporting a ski for maintenance and repairs. The apparatus includes a base from which a ski is to be supported, a clamp projecting centrally from the base adapted to grip a ski by its side edges generally at the mid-portion of such ski, a pair of support standards projecting from the base on opposite sides of the clamp to be engaged by a ski gripped by the clamp, and means for reducing the distance of the clamp from the base relative to the distance therefrom at which the support standards engage the ski to thereby urge the ski against such support standards for lateral support at the locations of such standards. The standards define open-mouthed slots which are generally parallel to one another for simultaneous receipt of a ski on edge at spaced-apart locations. Each of such standards is mounted on the base for rotation about an axis extending through the bottom and mouth of its slot, and means are provided for maintaining each of said standards in a selected position of rotation in which the opposed sides of the slot frictionally engage any ski in such slot to grip such ski. Thus, the clamp cooperates with the standards for firmly supporting a ski with either its top or bottom surfaces facing upwardly, and the slots in the standards provide firm support of the ski with either of its edges facing upwardly to be worked on.
