ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a device for removing debris from the soles of ski boots prior to locking the ski boots in the bindings of skis. The device is a compact, low profile scraper mountable on the skis themselves. The scraper is formed of a molded plastic material having flexible properties at extremely cold temperatures. The scraper has slanting side surfaces with a single semi-cylindrical channel formed in the scraper body extending the full length of the scraper. The upper surface of the scraper has two narrow flat lip surfaces. The lip surfaces and the slanting side surfaces form blunt scraping edges. The single relatively large channel provides an efficient method of removing debris and also allowing the scraper body to flex about its longitudinal axis. The scraper is mounted on the ski so that channel is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the ski. The ability of the ski to flex about its longitudinal axis is not limited by the addition of the scraper. Thus, the performance of the ski is not affected.
