Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a skate, more specially to a skate comprising a boot provided at its bottom side with a support for mounting at least one means for a movement on a base surface.
  • the skate according to the invention is an ice skate or a roller inline skate.
  • an ice skate comprises a boot composed of a leg portion hingedly connected at the location of the ankle to a foot portion having a downwards directed extension in the form of a substantially U-shaped support for mounting the runner blade.
  • the foot portion is usually connected to the U-shaped support at the heel and toe locations.
  • the runner blade is of perfect curvilinear radius configuration with the concave side facing upwards, and the point of blade-ice contact is positioned forwards corresponding with the vertical axis passing through the skater's center of gravity.
  • US-A-3 934 892 discloses an ice skate having a blade curved throughout its length from the toe region to the heel region of the skate to define a convex running edge, and a pair of wall members having lower edges that are connected to the blade throughout its length from the toe region to the heel region, and such wall members extend upwardly from the blade while diverging from each other.
  • One of the wall members is connected upwardly to the sole of the skate at the front and heel portions of the sole, while the other one of the wall members may be connected upwardly along the entire extension of the sole or alternatively also only to the front and heel portions of the sole.
  • This skate also has the inconvenience that the thrust is predominantly exercised at the toe and heel locations, that is forwardly of the central vertical axis of the boot and rearwardly of the vertical axis passing through the ankle region of the boot.
  • US-A-1 601 105 discloses a snow skate having a foot plate, a runner strip, and a zigzag truss-like foundation bar interconnected between the foot plate and runner strip at its apex portions, and extending between the toe and heel portions of the skate.
  • This skate also has the inconvenience that any thrust would be exercised generally throughout the entire extension of the skate, that is in particular predominantly forwardly of the central vertical axis of the boot and rearwardly of the vertical axis passing through the ankle region of the boot.
  • a roller skate comprises a boot having a leg portion articulated at the location of the ankle to a foot portion the sole of which has attached thereto a support for mounting a plurality of rollers in longitudinal alignment with one another.
  • US-A-5 046 746 discloses a roller skate in which the support for mounting the plurality of mutually aligned rollers is connected to the sole of the boot at the heel region and at the region of the ball of the foot.
  • This skate also has the shortcomings previously described since the thrust forces are exerted predominantly forwardly at the region of the ball of the foot (i.e. forward of the center vertical axis of the boot) or rearwardly at the heel region (i.e. rearward of the vertical axis passing through the ankle of the boot).
  • the ice skate according to the invention substantially comprises a boot 1 with a leg portion 2 articulated by means of two pivots 3a adjacent the location of the ankle to a foot portion 3 having a downwards directed extension in the form of a substantially U-shaped support 4 for a runner blade 7 of arcuate shape mounted with its concave side facing upwards.
  • foot portion 3 Accommodated within foot portion 3 is an insole 3b provided on its lower side with a prop 6 of substantially frustopyramidal shape with its greater base secured to insole 3b by screws 5 and its smaller base taking support on runner blade 7.
  • Prop 6 extends from foot portion 3 through a correspondingly shaped aperture formed in the sole and provided with a sealing gasket (not shown in the drawings).
  • the vertical axis A of prop 6 is disposed between vertical axes B and C passing respectively through the ankle and the point extremity of runner blade in relation of the foot/boot.
  • Insole 3a and prop 6 are made of a plastic material substantially more rigid than the material used for foot portion 3 and support 4. In other cases prop 6 may be made of a metallic material such as aluminum or the like.
  • insole 13b has its lower side provided with two props 16 and 16', with the vertical axis of prop 16 disposed along the axis passing through the ankle and that passing through the point of extremity of runner blade in relation of the foot/boot and the vertical axis of prop 16', passing through the toe end of the foot.
  • This ice skate lends itself particularly well for use in figure-skating.
  • insole 23b of the foot portion 23 of the boot 21 is formed with a longitudinally extended slot opening 23c for receiving therein the screw 25 for fixing prop 26 on the underside.
  • This embodiment permits prop 26 to be longitudinally displaced to thereby vary its point of attack. Point of transmission of thrust on blade in relation with ankle and extremity of blade.
  • sole reinforcement 36 with appendix, triangular or pyramidically shaped which concentrates the effort in a well definite point.
  • sole reinforcement 36 has a sharply bent profile permitting it to take support on runner blade 37 at a location between the vertical axes passing through the ankle and through the point of contact between the runner blade and the ice in resting position.
  • axis A crosses the lowest point of insole 33b.
  • the insole 33b is fastened to the toe and heel portions 33d and 33e respectively of the boot 33 by means of rivets 33f.
  • the roller skate according to the invention substantially comprises a boot 41 composed of a leg portion 42 articulated by means of two pivots 43a adjacent the location of the ankle to a foot portion 43.
  • a substantially rigid prismatic extension 46 formed as a forked bracket for mounting a roller wheel 47 rotatable about a pin 49.
  • extension 46 Attached to the sides of extension 46 are as a support two parallel rigid bars 48 of suitable configuration and interconnected by pins 49' for mounting rollers 47' in longitudinal alignment with roller 47.
  • the vertical axis A of extension 46 is disposed at a location between vertical axes B and C passing respectively through the ankle of the foot and through the longitudinal center of the boot.
  • extension 46 the thrust exerted by the skater on sole as a base plate 48 is transmitted directly to the roller (wheel) 47 and so, indirectly, via mentioned parallel rigid bars 44 to the other rollers (wheels) 47' maximizing the thrust/transmission on roller (wheel) 47 and that even when the skater does not assume the perfectly correct posture for skating.
  • boot 51 is mounted on a base plate 58 itself fixedly connected to extension 56 acting as the mounting support for roller 57 and having the parallel bars 54 for mounting further rollers 57' attached thereto, each roller 57' rotatably arranged about a pin 59'.
  • Extension 46 could be permitted to displacement in longitudinal and transversal direction in relation with the boot/foot by regulation type, mentioned before (see figure 4) by extension slots or various holes permitting to attach extension 46 in different positions on base plate 40' by screws 45. This all for optimizing and personalizing the user's way of skating and so improving skating performance.
