SKATE-BLADE rnornoron.
Application filed February Now that the majority of skaters have shoe skates, it has been the custom for them to wear theirv shoe skates in going to and coming from theskating ponds. In traveling Over the frozen ground, it is very harmful to the edge of the skate for it destroys the sharp. edge. Many skaters'wearing shoe skates, go to the ponds in their automobile and theyfind it very hazardous in traveling from their car tothe pond, walkingupon the toe of the skates. They do thatso as to not injure the sharp runner of the skate. If they walk upon the rough ground with their skates on, the sharp edge of the skate blade I is damaged.
To protect the blade and allow the skater to walk over any ground in safty and with ease, I have invented my protector for the blade. By having a protector to cover the blade, the skater always hasa sharp skate when'he is on the ice and he can carry the protectors in his pocket when skating. The protectors can be easily slipped upon the blades and a simple means has been devised to hold them in place. In a modified form,
I have shown my blade protector as a permanent part of the shoe skate, attached thereto so that the protector can be used to cover the blade or raised above and held in place away from the blade. Many simple fasten ing devices can be used to hold the protector in place and I know that as there are many forms of skates and blades, it will require numerous modified forms of devices for holding the protector in place. The hardened rubber guard or protector may be formed in numerous shapes and still be covered by my invention. 7
, Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side view of a shoe skate with a skate blade protector attached thereto.
Figure 2 is an enlarged sectional view on line 2-2 Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged sectional view of a modified form of blade protector. V
Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view of a protector designed to be held upon the skate. 1
Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view of the attached protector held in a position away from the skate blade.
. I have shown my skate blade protector 10 attached to a tubular form of skate 11 and I am aware that my protector can be used in 5 protecting the edge 12 of any form of skate blade 13, The protector 10 is composed of 11, 1925. .Serial No. 8,443.
a material .substantiallythe same as hardened rubber or the like and it covers the edge. 12 as well as a part of the side of the blade 13. The upright side wallsll of the protector fit the skate blade as shown in Fig. 2 or they may be extended upward away from the blade as shown inFig. 3.
I have shown in IE i'gs. 1 and 2 a preferred form of structure, the protector. 10 extending along the entirelength of the skate blade 13 and protecting-it from injury. Attached to the upright side walls 14 are straps 15 which extend upward over the body portion of the skate 11' and are united by' buckles 16. In this manner the buckles hold the protector 10 in place upon the edge of the skate'blade 13. Instead of using two small buckles 16 there may be one large buckle 17 used as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1.
As a modified form of attaching the protector to the skate blade, I have shown in Fig. 3 a protector 18'which has side walls 19" by the skater around his neck or in his pocket.
There may be some objection to this form as the skater may lose one or both when skating.
In order to obviate this objection and provide blade protectors which are always with v the skates,I have shown a modified form of protector 22 in Figs. 4 and 5. The protector 22 covers the edge 12 of the skate blade 13 and has two side Walls 23 and 24. Attached to one side wall 24, it being the widest, I have secured elastic strips 25, thesestrips are held at'26 upon the side of the. skate in the same relative position one to the other as the straps as shown in Fig. 1. The elastic strips 25 are under tension in this position of the protector 22 when it is covering the edge of the skate blade. I have made the side wall 23 narrow, so that by pulling the protector 22 downward slightly, the narrow side wall 23 will quickly clear the edge of the skate blade 13 and the protector can be sung upward to a position as shown in Fig. 5. The flexibility of the strips 25 allows the protector 22 to assume any position desired and in order to hold the protector away from the blade 13, I have provided clips 27 secured to the under side of the skate body. By raising the protector upward against the'body posts 28 of the skate, the protector can be slipped under the clips 27 and held there until ready for use as a guard.
Having described my invention in full I desire to claim by Letters Patent,
1. In a skate blade protector, a guard adapted to be held over the edge of the blade by flaps attached to one side of the skate and means whereby the covering canbe raised and held away from the blade. V 2. In a skate blade protector, a guard adapted to be held over the edge of the skate blade and means whereby said guard can be released from its protective position and can be held in a raised position away from the edge of the blade. i g
3'. Ina skate blade protector, a guard attached'to the skate, a channel in the guard from the skate blade,
4. In a skate blade protector, a guard at tached to the skate, said guard having two side Walls, one side Wall adapted to have means whereby the guard is secured to the skate and'the opposite side Wall so formed that it retains the guard upon the blade adapted to be released therefrom Wheneverthe guard is lowered and turned awayfromthe blade.- I 1 V 5. A skate blade protector having a guard attached to one side of the skate, said guard having a channel for the blade with one side Wall made lou so as to allow the guard to be raised and released from the blade.
