<p>A boot scraper (100, 600, 900) incorporating a novel boot scraping surface that can be mounted to, or incorporated in, skiing implements. In one embodiment, the boot scraper (100, 600) comprises an elongated polygonal molded rigid ABS plastic block that is mounted to the top surface of a ski. The block is mounted to the ski by an adhesive or by mechanical means. The top surface of the boot scraper incorporates a two-dimensional grid of adjacent polyhedrons (500, 610) extending in an upward direction. The tips of the polyhedrons form a scraping surface consisting of a multi-dimensional array of spaced, generally rigid pointed surfaces. The underside of the block contains hollowed out cavities (623, 710). The scraper is used by drawing the sole of the ski boot to be cleaned over the scraper. The array of pointed surfaces forming the scraping surface quickly and omnidirectionally removes snow and foreign matter from the bottom of the boot.</p> |
