WILLIAM F. REACH, OF SPRINGFIELD, IEASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TOfAJG'. S PAL DING & BROS, OF NEW YORK, N. 1;, A CORPORATION OF NEW JERSEY. V
TUBE SKATE.
Application filed March 2, 1922. Serial No. 540,450.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM F. REACH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Springfield. in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tube Skates, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention relates to improvements in the general type of ice skates known as tube or tubular, which are particularly adapted to withstand the severe strains encountered in playing hockey and in uses by athletes, and aims to p'rovide'means whereby a lighter skate may be secured without impairing its strength or efficiency.
The invention resides in the novel construction hereinafter described and particularly defined by the appended claim.
An embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a skate constructed in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a tranverse section on line 22 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a sect-ion on line 3-3 of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4.- is a. view of a. modification.
Referring by reference characters to this drawing, the main body member of the skate is indicated at 1 and consists of a tube-like member having depending flanges 1 embracing and secured to the runner 2, in the ordinary or any desired-manner.
The sole and heel plates are indicated at 3 and 4 respectively and are connected to the skate tube by the sole and heel cones 5, 6 and 7, which are of substantially inverted truncated cone shape, the larger upper ends affording a broad contact or attachment surface for the sole and heel plates and the narrower lower ends being secured to the tube.
The upper ends may be secured to the plates in any convenient or desired manner, as for example, by providing marginal flanges which are riveted, welded or otherwise suitably secured to the plates.
to the tube in any suitable-manner, though 7 I I prefer to do this by providing the tube with cut-away portions in its upper wall'at points where the lower ends of the cones are to be attached, the material around the edges of the holes orcuts being raised or struck: upwardly to'provide flanges 1 the contour of which corresponds to the interior of the lower end of the corresponding cone, tOl which it is secured by brazing or welding. The cones are preferably provided at their lower ends with opposed projections or lips 5 for example, which embrace the outer sides of the skatetube and are welded or brazed thereto. g
The weakest part of tube skates has been found to be the point of attachment of the cones to the tube, and to withstand the strain on the tube at this point it has been customary to make the skates of relatively heavy tubing, this resulting in a skate of material of undesirable weight.
I have found that by inserting a reinforcing tube 7 within the main tube at the place where each cone is attached a much lighter tube may be used, thus materially reducing the weight of the skate. The tube 7 has its ends extended a suitable distance on each side of the cone, as shown in Fig. 3, and its exterior surface is welded or brazed to the inner surface ofthe skate tube. The ends of the reinforcing tubes, Where they project beyond the union between the cones and skate tube, strengthen the skate tube at the points of greatest strain, which are adjacent to the cones.
Where the skate 2 is cutaway or provided with openings for the specific form of attachment disclosed, the reinforcing tube bridges the opening thus formed and therefore further strengthens the tube.
' In Fig. 4, I have shown a form which the skate tube has no cut-away portion whatever, the lower. end of the cone being welded about the skatetube, but the reinforcing tube acts in the same manner to support or brace the tube adjacent the post or cone, thus en:
abling a very light skate tube to be used.
Having thus described my invention what I claim is: 'i
The lower ends may likewise be secured In a tubular skate a blade carrying tube having depending blade engaging flanges, a sole cone having Wings at its lower end embracing the blade tube and Welded thereto, the portion of the blade tube Within the 5 cone being severed, and bent up to form a substantially annular flange Which is Welded to the inner face of the cone, and a rein- 1 ,472,see
forcing tube Welded to the inner face of the blade tube and having a continuous i1nperforate portion bridging the open por- 10 tion formed by said flange. In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
WILLIAM F. REACH.
