Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an ice skate blade assembly comprising a skate blade attachment system that allows to a user to quickly secure the ice skate blade to the blade holder and to quickly release the ice skate blade from the blade holder.
  • the attachment system is easy for the user to use and does not require the assistance of hand tools.
  • the attachment system allows the user to replace ice skate blades without first having to remove the skate from his/her foot.
  • such assemblies comprise a blade holder molded from a thermoplastic material with a longitudinal groove extending therealong and within which the ice skate blade is received.
  • the ice skate blade is locked to the blade holder by two or more threaded fastener means (such as a nut and bolt assembly) that pass transversely through the blade and blade holder at intervals which are longitudinally spaced apart.
  • This arrangement permits the rapid replacement of the blade through the use of two simple tools.
  • the ice skate blade is locked to the blade holder by two or more threaded fastener means that pass upwardly through the blade holder.
  • This second means of locking the blade to the blade holder permits the blade to be strongly biased in contact with the blade holder.
  • a deficiency in this second prior assembly is that the replacement of the blade usually requires demounting the blade holder from the skate boot in order to gain access to the threaded fastening means so that the blade may be released from the blade holder.
  • the ice skate blade comprises a hooked portion at the front and a projection with a fastener aperture at the rear.
  • the blade holder has a recess for receiving the front hooked portion and a bore hole for receiving a fastener having a threaded portion and a head that registers within the rear fastener aperture.
  • a nut is screwed on the threaded portion of the fastener for retaining the blade in place.
  • a known deficiency in the third prior assembly is that the replacement of the blade requires passing a tool through a hole provided in the sole of the skate boot to access the nut screwed on the threaded portion of the fastener in order to disengage the head of the fastener means from the bore hole and thus release the blade from the blade holder.
  • U.S. Patent 5,123,664 shows a skate blade assembly wherein the front end of the ice skate blade is pivotably coupled to the blade holder via a slot and pin arrangement. The rear end of the skate blade is then pivoted into snap-locking engagement with a locking mechanism located at the rear end of the blade holder, which locking mechanism comprises several pieces including springs, slide bar, latching tongue, ejection rod, rod and pin.
  • a known deficiency of this assembly is that it comprises several pieces, thereby increasing the complexity of its construction and operation.
  • U.S. Publication No. 2010/0109312 shows a replaceable ice skate blade wherein the skate blade is attached to a removable blade assembly.
  • the blade assembly comprises a first hook and pivotable rocker at its front end, as well as a second hook towards its rear end.
  • the blade assembly is designed to be interlocked with an attachment system contained in the front and rear cavities of the holder, where the front cavity comprises a fixed retention hook for engaging the first hook of the blade assembly and the rear cavity comprises an attachment device that includes a pivotable retention hook at one end shaped to receive and engage the rearward hook of the blade assembly, a pawl that is attached to the pivotable retention hook, a releasing means (e.g., a button) and a spring that provides tension to the different components of the device.
  • a pivotable retention hook at one end shaped to receive and engage the rearward hook of the blade assembly
  • a pawl that is attached to the pivotable retention hook
  • a releasing means e.g., a button
  • the user To attach the skate blade and blade assembly to the holder, the user first presses the releasing means in order to overcome the force of the spring on the pawl, thus allowing the pivotable retention hook to move into a position that would allow the entry of the rearward second hook of the blade assembly.
  • the user engages the first hook with the fixed retention hook in the front cavity of the attachment system and rotates the blade assembly via the pivotable rocker so as to make the second hook enter the attachment device at the rear of the holder.
  • the second hook makes contacts with and applies pressure to the pivotable retention hook within the attachment device.
  • the invention provides an ice skate blade assembly for a skate boot, the ice skate blade assembly extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising: (a) an ice skate blade comprising first and second ends, an ice contacting surface and an upper edge opposed to the ice contacting surface, the upper edge comprising first and second hooks projecting upwardly proximate to one of the first and second ends respectively, the second hook having an upper surface, an end and a bottom surface ; (b) a blade holder having first and second pedestals with respective top portions for attachment to the skate boot and a bridge portion connecting the first and second pedestals, the blade holder further comprising a bottom portion having a longitudinal groove extending therealong for receiving the upper edge of the ice skate blade and wherein the bottom portion further defines a recess extending upwardly from the longitudinal groove for receiving the first hook and wherein the second pedestal has an inner surface defining a cavity with a bottom aperture opens to the longitudinal groove; and (c) a single actuator at least partially mounted
  • FIGS 1 , 2 and 4 to 11 show an ice skate blade assembly 10 constructed in accordance with a non-limiting embodiment of the invention.

  • the width of the longitudinal groove 40 is almost identical to the one of the upper edge 22 and the depth of the groove 40 is sufficient in order that the upper edge 22 of the ice skate blade 12 can be tightly received within the longitudinal groove 40.
  • the first pedestal 30 has an inner surface 48 defining a first cavity 50 and the second pedestal 32 has an inner surface 52 defining a second cavity 54 communicating with a bottom aperture 56 provided in the bottom portion 38 between first and second base walls 56A, 56B such that the bottom aperture 56 opens on to the longitudinal groove 40.
  • the second pedestal 32 also comprises a protrusion 53 that extends rearwardly from a section of the inner surface 52 into the second cavity 54.
  • the first and second pedestals 30, 32 are front and rear pedestal of the blade holder, but it may be understood that the first and second pedestals 30, 32 may otherwise be the rear and front pedestals of the blade holder.
  • the bridge portion 58 has first, second, third and fourth apertures 60, 62, 64, 66 for reducing the weight of the blade holder 14.
  • the bottom portion 38 also defines a recess 68 extending upwardly from the longitudinal groove 40 for receiving the first hook 24.

  • the single actuator 72 may be made of an integrated part. In another embodiment, the single actuator may be made of two parts where the part comprising the resilient portion 76 can be compressed and inserted in the second cavity 54 after the other part in order to ease mounting of the single actuator 72 within the second cavity 54.
  • the single actuator 72 may be made of one, two or more parts, in use, when it is mounted within the second cavity 54, all its movable components such as the finger accessible wall 74, channel 82, bottom wall 84 and resilient portion 76 are interdependent such that translation movement of any one of these components imparts corresponding translation movement of all the other components of the single actuator 72.

  • the finger accessible wall may be made of aluminium, stainless steel or thermoplastic with an overmolded region made of tactile material such as polyurethane.
  • the single actuator 72 may be made of thermoplastic material, such materials sold under the names ABS TM , NYLON TM , DELRIN TM (grades 900P, 500P, 500CL or 100ST) or ORGALLOY TM (grades LT5050 or RS600).
  • the single actuator 72 may be molded or otherwise formed using techniques known in the art (e.g., plastic or metal injection molding).
  • the end wall 78 may have a vertical projection 78A and the second pedestal 32 may have a vertical groove 78B provided on the inner surface 52 such that, after insertion of the single actuator 72 within the second cavity 54, the vertical projection 78A registers within the vertical groove 78B and the single actuator 72 is aligned within the second cavity 54.

  • the end wall 78 may be devoid of any vertical projection or groove and the inner surface 52 may be devoid of any vertical groove or projection such that the external surface of the end wall 78 abuts directly against a rear section of the inner surface 52.
  • the resilient portion 76 may comprise two resilient flaps 76A and two internal arms 76B that add rigidity to the resilient portion 76 for avoiding rotational or pivotal movement of the resilient portion 76 when pressure is applied upon it. It is understood that a resilient portion 76 with a number of flaps or inner arms greater than or less than two would also fall within the scope of the present invention.
  • the functionality of the resilient portion 76 could be provided by resilient components other than flaps.
  • a set of one or more resilient coil springs could be used for the resilient portion 76 and would likely provide similar, if not identical, functionality to the resilient portion 76 as do the resilient flaps of the present embodiment.

  • the user can insert one or two fingers in the fourth aperture 66 in order to press on the finger-accessible wall 74.
  • the rear surface of the end wall 78 and/or vertical projection 78A may be coated with glue or another adhesive substance before the single actuator 72 is inserted. This substance may permit a certain amount of movement to the end wall 78 during assembly, but after a certain period may permanently affix the end wall 78 to the rear section of the inner surface 52.
  • glue or another adhesive substance e.g.
  • any locking means such as a screw can be applied or affixed at the top surface region between the end wall 78 (and/or vertical projection 78A) and the rear inner surface of the rear pedestal 32 (and/or the vertical groove 78B) once the single actuator 72 is mounted in the second cavity 54 in order to ensure proper mounting of the single actuator 72 in the second cavity 54. It is conceivable that the single actuator 72 could be removed after the assembly of the skate, such as in the case where a replacement actuator must be installed.
  • the user To dismount or release the ice skate blade 12 from the blade holder 14, the user first inserts one or two fingers into the fourth aperture 66 for contacting the finger-accessible wall 74. The user then applies pressure (see large arrow in Figure 8 ) to the finger-accessible wall 74, pressing it inwards (i.e., in the direction towards the rear of the holder 14) in order to effect the release of the ice skate blade 12 from the holder 14.
  • the large arrow shows the pressure applied by the user.
  • the resilient portion 76 When the user presses the finger-accessible wall 74 inwards, he is applying force that is transferred to the resilient portion 76 that is interdependent with the wall 74. Because the resilient portion 76 is elastic, it can physically deform (e.g., bend and/or compress) so as to store this additional force. In particular, when the pressure applied by the user via the finger-accessible wall 74 is greater than the tension stored within the resilient portion 76 in its equilibrium state, the resilient portion 76 is forced to compress (or bend) further such that its compression allows movement of the single actuator 72 in the direction of the end wall 78 (i.e., in the direction towards the rear of the blade holder 14) as shown by the black arrows in Figure 8 showing translation movement of the single actuator 72.
  • the upper surface 26A may be an inclined upper surface extending along a line that defines an angle ⁇ 4 relative to an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis A and the inner wall 83 may be an inclined inner wall extending along a line that defines an angle ⁇ 3 relative to an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the angle ⁇ 4 may be between 35o and 75o.
  • the angle ⁇ 3 may be between 35o and 75o. It is understood that the angle ⁇ 3 must be equal or slightly bigger than the angle ⁇ 4 in order to allow the second hook 26 to be tightly mounted within the channel 82.
  • the angle ⁇ 3 may be approximately 45° while the ⁇ 4 may be approximately 44o.
  • Figure 8 also shows that as the bottom wall 84 moves generally rearward, it contacts and moves along the upper surface of the base wall 56B.
  • Figures 9 and 10 show how the pre-tension created in the single actuator 72 via the resiliency of the resilient portion 76 is now used to assist with the dismounting of the ice skate blade 12 from the blade holder 14.
  • Figure 9 shows the point where the ends 26B and 84B come into contact
  • Figure 10 shows the point where the ends 26B and 84B are in full contact.
  • the end 26B may be an inclined end extending along a line that defines an angle ⁇ 1 relative to an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis A
  • the end 84B may be an inclined end extending along a line that defines an angle ⁇ 2 relative to an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the angle ⁇ 1 may be between 90o and 180o.
  • the angle ⁇ 2 may be between 0o and 90o. It is understood that the respective angles of the ends 26B, 84B must be designed such that the bottom wall 84 will allow introduction of the second hook 26 within the channel 82.
  • the angle ⁇ 1 may be approximately 121° while the ⁇ 2 may be approximately 30o.
  • ends 26B, 84B may also be a rounded ends or any other shapes that create a downward force on the second hook 26 when the bottom wall 84 moves towards the front of the holder and contacts the second hook 26. It is further understood that translation movement of the bottom end 84 and contact of the end 84B on the end 26B must create a downward force on the second hook 26 in a direction that is generally transversal relative to the longitudinal axis A (see large arrow in Figure 10 ).
  • the second hook 26 has exited the channel 82 and the ice skate blade 12 can simply fall down due to the gravity force (see large arrow) or the user can complete the removal of the ice skate blade 12 from the blade holder 14 by pulling down on the ice skate blade holder (see large arrow). It is understood the single actuator will return to its position shown in Figure 2 once there is no contact between the end 84B and the end 26B.
  • FIG. 4 shows that when the user wants to mount the ice skate blade 12 into the blade holder 14, he first inserts the first hook 24 into the recess 68. Once the first hook 24 has been inserted into the recess 68, this recess acts as a pivot point for the rest of the ice skate blade 12. The skate blade 12 may then be pivoted upwards in order that the second hook 26 can be inserted into the channel 82 of the single actuator 72.
  • the bottom wall 84 is interdependent with the resilient portion 76. As upward force is applied via the ends 26B and 84B, this force causes the bottom wall 84 to move rearward. Since the resilient portion 76 is elastic, it can physically deform (e.g., bend and/or compressed) to accommodate the rearward movement of the bottom wall 84.
  • Figure 5 shows that the finger-actuated wall 74 and the channel 82 are also moving rearward with the progress of the bottom wall 84. As a result, the dimensions of the fourth aperture 66 appear to increase as a greater portion of the surface of the wall 74 is moved into the second pedestal 32.
  • the end 26B of the second hook 26 continues in to push the end 84B such that translation movement of the single actuator 72 continues until the end 26B has cleared the end 84B and the second hook 26 entirely enters within the channel 82.
  • Figure 6 shows the point at which the second hook 26 is entirely received within the channel 82 and where translation movement of the single actuator 72 towards the front end of the blade holder 14 begins. At that point, the bottom surface 26C of the second hook 26 comes into sliding contact with the upper surface 84A of the bottom wall 84, and because of the resiliency of the resilient portion 76, translation movement of the single actuator 72 towards the front of the blade holder is possible (see black arrows in Figure 6 ).
  • the upward force extends along a line that defines an angle ⁇ 5 relative to an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis A.
  • the angle ⁇ 5 may be between 1o and 89o, or between 25o and 65o, or approximately 45o such that a portion of this upward force pushes the ice skate blade 12 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A (i.e. vertical direction) and the other portion of this upward force pushes the ice skate blade 12 in a (forward) direction parallel to the longitudinal axis A (i.e. horizontal direction).
  • the upward force has a first component extending along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A (i.e. vertical direction) and a second component extending along a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis A (i.e. horizontal direction). It is also understood that the upward force is generally perpendicular to the contacting region between the bottom wall 84 (upper surface 84A) and second hook 26 (bottom surface 26C).
  • the user only applies upward force to the skate blade 12 during the mounting process.
  • the user may rather apply pressure to the finger-accessible wall 74 in order to compress the resilient portion 76, thereby moving the single actuator 72 towards the rear of the blade holder 14 such that passage of the second hook 26 into the channel 82 is not obstructed by the bottom wall 84.
  • the user may apply force to both the skate blade 12 and the finger-accessible wall 74 to mount the blade 12 within the holder 14.
  • the present invention also relates to an ice skate comprising an ice skate blade assembly as described above.
