UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
R. W. BELSON, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
SKATE.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 17,414, dated June 2, 1857.
To aZZ 'whom it may concern Be it known that I, R. IV. BELsoN, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in the Gonstruction of Skates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification, in which- Figure 1, is a longitudinal Vertical section of my improvement; (w), (w), Fig. 2, showing the plane of section. Fig. 2 is a plan or top View of ditto. Fig. 3 is a back View of ditto.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
My invention consists in constructing the skate entirely of cast metal, the skate being cast in two separate and distinct parts which are longitudinal, halves, each part being composed of one half of the stock and one half of the runner. The lower and inner edges of the two parts of the runner are beveled, and the two parts are secured together by means of screws as will be presently shown, the beveled lower edges of the runner when the two parts are secured together forming the usual gutter. I
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention I will proceed to describe it.
A A represent the two parts of the skate, each part being a Vertical longitudinal half of the stock and runner. Both parts are shown in Figs. 2 and 3. These parts are cast separately and the lower inner edges of the two parts of the runner are beveled as shown at (a) Fig. 3. The portion of the skate usually termed the stock is designated by (b) and the runner portion by (o). Iron would of course be the metal employed and the two parts of the stock may be cast of any proper pattern so as to conform to the foot and by means of the usual straps capable of being firmly adjusted to it.
The two parts A, A, are secured together by means of rivets or screws (d), and the beveled edges (a) of the two parts of the runner (o), when said parts are secured together, form the usual gutter see Fig. 3.
By this mode of construction a cheap and durable skate is produced, and as good in every respect as the best manufactured in the usual way. The lower edges of the two parts of thefrunner may if desired be cast with chill so that the edges formed by the bevel or basils (a) will be sufliciently hard to prevent much wear. The runners of ordinary skates soon become dull by wear and require filing to prevent them from slipping. This however is rarely done and the skates as a general thing are laid aside as useless when worn smooth.
I am aware that the runners of skates have been formed of two parts and a. patent was granted to J. E. Forbes for thus constructing the runners for the purpose of enabling them to be kept sharp. This mode of construction however adds to the expense of the skate for the two parts of the runner are connected by a dovetail and a lap, and the runner is secured to a wooden stock. The facility of sharpening the runner will not compensate for the incresaed cost of construction.
I am also aware that the stock formed of a certain number of parts, and the runner of a skate have been cast solid or in one piece, and that a patent was granted to B. F. Shelabarger, for such mode of construction. In Shelabargefis skate, the object appears to be economy only, no reference being had to the formation of the gutter.
By having the runners, the lower part, cast with a chill as in my improvement they are rendered so hard as to resist wear, or to wear so very slowly that they will not become smooth in a long time and as the cost of the skate is reduced extremely low I consider it an improvement and a preferable article to any now manufactured.
I do not claim separately forming the runner of two parts for this has been pre- Viously done, neither do I claim casting the stock and runner in one piece, for this .has also been previously done, but
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Constructing the skate entirely of cast met-al and of two parts connected together substantially as shown and described.
R. W. BELSON.
