Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A device for supporting and heating a ski servicing tool of the type having a base plate with a substantially planar lower surface, a handle attached to said base plate, and a wax dispenser extending laterally from one edge of said base plate and including a reservoir for wax, said device comprising: a support base including an inclined supporting surface adapted to receive said base plate with said wax dispenser projecting beyond the upper edge of said surface, said support base also including upwardly extending walls adjacent the lower edge and each side of said surface; and a lateral extention of said base housing a heat source and located adjacent to the upper edge of said surface so as to underly said wax dispenser when said tool is positioned on said support base.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
A device for supporting and heating a ski servicing tool of the type having a base plate with a substantially planar lower surface, a handle attached to said base plate, and a wax dispenser extending laterally from one edge of said base plate and including a reservoir for wax, said device comprising: a support base including an inclined supporting surface adapted to receive said base plate with said wax dispenser projecting beyond the upper edge of said surface, said support base also including upwardly extending walls adjacent the lower edge and each side of said surface; and a lateral extention of said base housing a heat source and located adjacent to the upper edge of said surface so as to underly said wax dispenser when said tool is positioned on said support base.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
