Description

UNITED srATEs APATirrr ornron.
N. C. SANFORD, 0F MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT.
SKATE.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 22,895, dated February 8, 18159'.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, N. C. SANFORD, of Meriden, in the county of New Haven and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 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 invention taken in the `line m, Fig. 2. Fig. 2, is a transverse section of ditto, taken in the line 1, y, Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the two figures.
This invention consists in attaching the runner of the skate to the stock by means of elliptic or similar shaped springs as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby a certain degree of elasticity is given the skate and a durable connection obtained between the runner and stock.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and construct my invention I will proceed to describe it.
A, represents the stock of a skate which may be of wood and constructed in the usual Way, and B, is the runner which is constructed of a metal bar having a grooved or plane under surface and its front end turned or curved upward as usual. The
runner B, is attached to the stock A, by means of springs C, C, which are of elliptic or an approximate form. These springs are each formed of a single piece of steel and are secured on the runner B, and longitudinally with it by rivets a. The upper parts of the springs are attached to the under side of the stock by rivets or bolts b, which may pass entirely through the stock and have their upper ends headed in metal plates c, which are fitted flush into the upper surface of the stock A.
The springs C, C, may be of any suitable length and more than two may be used if desired, but two will probably be suliicient, one near the toe and the other near the heel of the stock, as shown in Fig. l. The springs are also suiiiciently .high to keep the stock at the usual height from the runner.
This invention is a great improvement as it permits of an easy yielding movement of the runner and stock in skating, and this yielding movement not only adds to the pleasure of skating but also renders the skate extremely durable, preventing the runner from working loose from the stock, a contingency which frequently occurs on account of their Vhitherto rigid connection. The improvement will not enhance the cost of construction, it is rather ornamental than otherwise, and is well adapted itor ladies skates.
Having thus' described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
Attaching the runner B, of the skate to its stock A, by means of the springs C, C, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
N. C. SANFORD.
