SKATE.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 26, 1914.
Application filed April 21, 1913. Serial No. 762,647.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, LIONEL ALFRED Winn- RAD, a subject of the Kingdom of Great Britain, residing at \Vharrad Works, Victoria street. Redditch, in the county of Worcester, England, have inventedcertain Improvements in or Relating to Skates, of which the following is a specification.
This invention comprises certain improvements in or relating to skates and it has for its purpose to simplify and considerably strengthen the construction and at the same time to materially reduce the cost of manufacture.
According to the present invention the blade has a series of integral upwardly extending arms or supporting elements which at their upper extremities are secured to the plate or plates upon which the foot bears. The upwardly extending arms or supporting members are manufactured in one with the blade or runner by cutting or suitably forming the whole in sheet metal, after which the upwardly extending arms or supporting members are bent or divert-ed in such a manner as to effectively counteract the lateral and other stresses which are encountered in use. For this purpose certain of the arms are advantageously diverted at an incline to the one side of the plane of the blade while others are diverted to the other side.
In order that this invention may be clearly understood and readily carried into practice, reference may be had to the appended explanatory sheet of drawings, upon which Figure 1 is an elevation of one form of skate according to the present invention. Fig. 2 is a plan of the skate shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section on line 12 of Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a section on line 34 of Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 5 is a section on line 5-6 of Figs. 1 and 2.
In a convenient embodiment of the pres ent invention the skate blade (6 is manufactured from sheet metal integrally with three upstanding arms or tongues a a a adapted to support a heel plate 6. Three further integral upstanding tongues or arms a a a are provided to support the rear or main part of a plate 0 adapted to support the front part of the foot and a front integral tongue a or front part of the blade is adapted tosupport the front part of the fore-plate- Referring to the supporting members for the heel plate, the rear one a may be curved away from the plane of the blade at an angle of about 30. or 45. The central supporting member a may in like manner be curved to the other side of the blade, while the curved supporting member a may be curved in like manner to the same side of the plane of the blade as in the case of the rear supporting member (4 The arrangement of the members a, a a, for supporting the rear part of the plate 0 is substantially the same as that of the members a a a for supporting the heel plate.
The front of the skate blade a is extended upwardly in the form of the support a which supports the front part of the fore-plate 0.
By the above described arrangement the members (6 a a and a are enabled to withstand the stress to which the skate is subjected in use, for instance when striking the ice obliquely.
For the purpose of connecting the supporting members a a a to the heel plate Z) their upper extremities are bent in such a manner that such extremities lie in a plane parallel with that of the blade. Said extremities are adapted to take between integral tongues 6 formed in the sheet metal of the plate?) in such a manner that tongues 6 occur on both sides of the extremities of the supporting members, a rivet b or other suitable means being utilized to secure the extremities of the supporting members between the tongues 6 In the case of the heel plate the outer tongue members are bent downwardly from the outer edges of the plate whereas the inner tongue members are cut out of the supporting surface of the plate. A similar provision for connecting the supporting members is employed in connection with the fore-plate the outer tongues 0 however being cut from the metal at the supporting surface of the plate in like manner as in the case of the inner tongue members.
The tongues for securing the extremity of the supporting member a form integral parts of a sheet metal clip which is secured by welding, brazing or other suitable means to the fore-plate.
The parts of the tore-plate contiguous to the apertures from which the tongues c are cut may be strengthened by providing tongues or enlargements 0 around the outer edge of the sheet metal plate which tongues or extensions are afterward folded or curled to strengthen the edges of the plate at these points.
In a racing skate in which lightness is a desideratum and in which the supporting elements are made as thin as possible each supporting element may be furnished with a rib or ribs or may be otherwise suitably shaped to give greater strength.
What I claim my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a skate having a blade and foot and heel plates above the same, members supporting said foot and heel plates formed integrally with said blade and extending upwardly and outwardly from the same and means for securing said foot and heel plates to said support.
2. In skate having a blade and foot and heel plates above the same, members supporting said foot and heel plates formed integrally with said blade, alternately bent out of the plane of the same and having their upwardly extending extremities bent parallel to said blade, and means for secursaid foot and heel plates to said supporting members.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
