Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for sharpening ice skates which are provided with a blade having a bottom face and two opposite side faces.
  • a major problem when sharpening ice skates relates to maintaining a sharpening block in a proper orientation relative to the blade of the ice skate. Generally it is mandatory to maintain the sharpening block exactly perpendicularly to the blade side faces, such that the bottom face of the blade after sharpening also will extend perpendicularly to the side faces.
  • a jig is provided in which the ice skates (or only the blades thereof) can be mounted, after which a sharpening block is moved along the blades.
  • the use of such an apparatus requires a lot of skill, and such an apparatus is rather bulky.
  • an apparatus for sharpening ice skates comprising two magnetic parts each with a first side for magnetically engaging a respective one of the opposite side faces of the ice skate blade, and each with a second side perpendicularly to the first side and in parallel to the bottom face of the ice skate blade for magnetically engaging a sharpening block intended for engaging the bottom face of the ice skate blade, and further comprising a housing with recesses for receiving the two magnetic parts and sharpening block in an at least partially movable manner.
  • the blade of the ice skate is positioned between the two magnetic parts which are magnetically attracted to each other and to the blade positioned therebetween.
  • the first sides of the magnetic parts are positioned in a well-defined position engaging the two opposite side faces of the blade, which results in a well-defined position of the second sides of the magnetic parts, such that the sharpening block engaging said second sides is positioned perpendicularly to the bottom face of the blade, as required for properly sharpening the blade of the ice skate.
  • the magnetic force between the magnetic parts and the blade at one hand, and the magnetic force between the magnetic parts and the sharpening block on the other hand assist in maintaining the correct relative positions of all parts, such that during sharpening the ice skate it is ensured that the sharpening block is maintained in a correct position relative to the bottom face of the blade. Notwithstanding the magnetic attraction between the magnetic parts and the blade, latter can be moved to and fro between the magnetic parts and thus relative to the sharpening block, leading to a sharpening effect of the blade.
  • the magnetic parts and sharpening block are received in respective recesses of the housing, such that during the to and fro movement of the blade and after removing a sharpened blade, the magnetic parts and sharpening block are maintained substantially in a correct relative position, ready for sharpening an other blade of an ice skate.
  • said magnetic parts and sharpening block can move relative to the housing in a limited way to automatically obtain the correct position in which, as described above, a situation occurs in which the sharpening is carried out in an appropriate manner.
  • both magnetic parts are permanent magnets. This increases the force with which the magnetic parts engage the blade at one hand and the sharpening block at the other hand. As a result the correct positioning of all parts is more effectively maintained.
  • the magnetic parts are a permanent magnet, whereas the other magnetic part is magnetised under influence of the magnetic part which is a permanent magnet. Further it is conceivable, that also the sharpening block is a permanent magnet.
  • the magnetic parts are biased towards each other by extra means in addition to the magnetic force. Such extra means can be helpful in maintaining the correct position of all relevant parts of the apparatus.
  • one magnetic part has a substantially stationary position within the housing, whereas the other magnetic part is movably housed in the housing.
  • the magnetic part having a substantially stationary position within the housing basically defines the orientation of the blade and, indirectly, the orientation of the other magnetic part and sharpening block.
  • the movable magnetic part is biased to increase the force with which the magnetic parts engage the blade.
  • the movable magnetic part is engaged by a pusher which is manually operable by a user of the apparatus.
  • the user of the apparatus can choose the moment at which the movable magnetic part is biased.
  • this will be when a blade has assumed its position between the two magnetic parts and is moved to and fro relative to the magnetic parts and sharpening block for sharpening it.
  • the user will not engage the pusher, such that the force with which the magnetic parts engage the blade is decreased, making the introduction or removal of the blade easier.
  • the pusher is a lever which is pivotally connected to the housing.
  • the housing further comprises deburring devices for deburring the blade.
  • deburring devices for deburring the blade.
  • such deburring devices comprise two movable deburring devices positioned opposite each other in recesses and biased away from each other and having operating ends projecting from the housing for manually moving the deburring devices towards each other and towards an ice skate blade positioned therebetween.
  • the deburring devices In an inoperative position the deburring devices are biased away from each other and will not engage the blade of the ice skate. Only when a user manually moves the operating ends of the deburring devices towards the housing (inwardly) said deburring devices will engage the ice skate blade positioned therebetween.
  • the housing comprises a longitudinal slot for temporarily receiving the ice skate blade to be sharpened, wherein at a first longitudinal position of said slot the recesses for receiving the two magnetic parts and sharpening block are located, whereas at a second longitudinal position of said slot the recesses for receiving the deburring devices are located.
  • the longitudinal slot debouches in a face of the housing with opposite diverging slot walls, introducing the ice skate blade into the longitudinal slot is facilitated.
  • the effectiveness of the apparatus may be improved further, when the sharpening block is movable in its receiving recess and biased towards the magnetic parts. This offers an extra possibility for assuring that all parts of the apparatus assume an optimal position relative to the blade to be sharpened.
  • the bias of the sharpening block may be caused by a spring member positioned in the housing, such as for example a compression spring carrying at its end engaging the sharpening block a dome-like member for engaging the sharpening block.
  • the housing has an ergonomic shape adapted to the hand of a user.
  • an ergonomically shaped housing may resemble a computer mouse.
  • the apparatus for sharpening ice skates is provided with a housing 1 which, as will appear later, receives all operative parts of the apparatus and which has an ergonomic shape adapted to the hand of a user.
  • Said blade 2 comprises a bottom face 3 and two opposite side faces 4.
  • the housing 1 is provided with a longitudinal slot 5 (best visible in figures 3 and 4) which extends over the entire length of the housing 1. Said longitudinal slot 5 is joined by recesses (not illustrated) which receive two magnetic parts 6, each with a first side 7 for magnetically engaging a respective one of the opposite side faces 4 of the ice skate blade 2 (as illustrated best in figure 3). Each magnetic part 6 further comprises a second side 8 (see figure 3) which extends perpendicularly to the first side 7 and in parallel to the bottom face 3 of the ice skate blade 2.
  • a sharpening block 10 is received which is intended for engaging the bottom face 3 of the ice skate blade 2.
  • the second sides 8 of the magnetic parts 6 will magnetically engage said sharpening block 10.
  • the magnetic parts 6 both are permanent magnets, they will engage the respective side faces 4 of the blade 2 firmly. Moreover they will engage in a magnetic manner the sharpening block 10, thus maintaining the sharpening block 10 in an optimal position for sharpening the blade 2.
  • a lever 11 is pivotably connected to and housed in the housing 1 and engages one of the magnetic parts 6. A user may push against said lever 11 to bias the respective magnetic part 6 towards the opposite magnetic part 6, thus increasing the force with which both magnetic parts 6 engage the blade 2.
  • a spring member 12 is received in a respective recess 13 for pushing a ball-(or dome-) shaped member 14 against the sharpening block 10 which, in result, is firmly pressed against the magnetic parts 6 and against the bottom face 3 of the blade 2.
  • the longitudinal slot 5 debouches in a face 5 of the housing 1 with opposite diverging slot walls 16. This facilitates the introduction of the blade 2 into the slot 5.
  • deburring devices 17 Longitudinally spaced from the magnetic parts 6 deburring devices 17 are provided which are received in corresponding recesses 18 (figure 2).
  • the deburring devices 17 are positioned opposite each other and are biased away from each other by means of spring members 19 cooperating with operating ends 20.
  • the operating ends 20 project from the housing 1 and can be moved manually inwards so that the deburring devices 17 are moved towards each other and towards an ice skate blade 2 positioned therebetween.
  • the housing 1 of the apparatus comprises a number of separate parts which can be taken apart for removing or exchanging parts of the apparatus, for example the magnetic parts 6, sharpening block 10 and deburring devices 17.
