ABSTRACT:
A ski wax applicator for applying melted wax to the running surface of a ski comprises a housing including proximal and distal handle portions for manually manipulating the device over the ski running surfacae. Within the housing a wax container is removably provided into which wax may be deposited and melted via an internal heating element. The melted wax travels from holes in the bottom of the container at a controlled rate through a plurality of linearly spaced, wax permeable wicks positioned colinearly within heat conductive pipes or conduits. These small wicks extend into linearly spaced bores in a large wick which is removably positioned at the bottom of the housing for engagement with the ski surface, extending laterally across the full width of the ski. A pair of spring loaded, rectilinear bars are located, one on each side of and parallel to the large wick. As the device is drawn in one direction along the ski surface, the proximal bar heats the ski surface to increase the porosity thereof. The melted wax is then deposited by the large wick, followed by a smoothing and polishing by the heated distal bar. Only one stroke of the device over the ski surface is necessary.
