摘要:
A skate comprises a boot (1), a blade holder (2) secured to said boot (1), and a blade (3) received in said blade holder (2). The skate forms, in a neutral position of a skater standing perpendicular to the ice surface, an angle (α) between a central axis of the blade (3) and the ice surface. The skate is formed such that said angle (α) deviates from a perpendicular angle such that the blade (3) inclines inwards.

The present invention refers to a blade for an ice skate provided with a contact zone (4; 104; 204) that has a substantially continuous extension and it is adapted to contact a hard resting surface; the blade (3; 103; 203) extends along an axis (A) that is essentially longitudinal relative to the forward-moving direction. The contact zone (4; 104; 204) is provided with at least one engagement and sliding portion (4c; 104c, 104d, 104e; 204c) adapted to enable the blade (3; 103; 203) to engage and slide upon an elongated body along a direction that is generally transversal relative to the longitudinal axis (A).
摘要:
A skate blade holder assembly (1) for an ice skate is disclosed having a substantially rigid reinforcement member (15) extending longitudinally from a front mounting portion (5) to a rear mounting portion (7) of the skate blade holder assembly (1). The substantially rigid reinforcement member (15) complements a neck portion (9) of the skate blade holder, thereby forming a closed load-bearing frame or truss which greatly increases the rigidity and strength of the skate blade holder assembly (1). This increased rigidity of the skate blade holder assembly (1) increases the durability of the skate blade (79), and promotes faster and more efficient force transfer between the skater and the ice. A redundant connector (52) located adjacent the midpoint of the skate blade (79) secures the skate blade (79) to the supporting side walls (45) of the longitudinal slot (11), thereby further increasing the rigidity of the skate blade (79) and preventing and/or limiting warpage of the skate blade (79) under extreme loading conditions.
摘要:
A disposable reversible skate blade for an ice skate comprising a thin runner blade held around the edges of a lightweight composite core, and a pair of opposed blade supports, which may be individually replaceable or which may be formed as an integral part of the core. The entire blade assembly is lightweight, easily removable, reversible and replaceable in a skate with little or no requirement for tools, and is inexpensive enough to manufacture that the blade is disposable.
摘要:
A double-edged skate blade assembly for an ice skate comprising a double-edged blade and a pair of blade supports, each of which is individually replaceable. The assembly includes mechanisms to mate the blade supports about the blade, to connect the blade supports to each other, to interlock the blade and support assembly into a blade holder on the skate and to fasten the blade assembly to the blade holder. The entire blade assembly is easily removable, reversible and replaceable in a skate with little or no requirement for tools. The invention also comprises a holder to securely support the skate blade assembly on the boot of the ice skate.
摘要:
An ice skate comprising a boot arranged to receive a person's foot, a skate blade assembly (1) and a blade heating arrangement (8) mounted within a blade mounting arrangement. The blade heating arrangement is arranged to use a field-effect transistor (12) controlled by an electronic controller (10) to operate in the non-linear range to heat skate blades from a power source (14). The blade (2) is formed as a two part structure with a central core plate within the steel blade part of a higher thermal conductivity material such as copper. The circuit (9) controlling the heating includes a charging component which uses as a contact for the charging current the blade itself. The blade (2, 32) is mounted on the mounting arrangement by a manually releasable mechanical coupling for readily removing the blade and the heating element from its mounting with the manually releasable coupling includes at least one inclined wedge member (34) for cooperating with a corresponding shaped receptacle (35) on the mounting arrangement and a cam lock (39) for pulling the blade along the mounting member longitudinally of the blade and to draw the inclined wedge member into its receptacle.
