Description
CHAS. E. HALE, OF MILLBURY, MASSACHUSETTS.
SKATE.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 32,833, dated July 16, 1861.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that l, CHARLES E. HALE, of Millbury, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, 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 accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specication, in which- Figure l represents a side view of my improved skate showing clearly my mode of securing the runner or skate iron to the foot stand, whereby l obtain elasticity, and a yielding action of the same, under the ball or front part of the foot stand. Fig. 2 represents a modification of Fig. l, in which the entire runner is made to yield both at the heel and toe parts thereof.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both figures.
The object of this invention is to construct a light and cheap skate, one that will be comfortable to the foot, and which will assist the skater in his movements, and accelerate his speed over the ice with less exertion than with skates constructed previous to my invention.
My invention consists in forming the skate runner much narrower than they are at present made, and instead of securing the same to the bottom of the foot stand along its entire length, or securing it at intervals to the stand, so that it will be sti and inelastic, l arrange and apply the runner to the stiff stock or stand in such amanner, that a downward, yielding, and elastic action is obtained, either along the entire length of the skate, or only the front part or ball of the same. The invention does not consist in the employment of separate springs for this purpose for such a use of springs for skate irons are very objectionable, but it consists in forming the springs, and obtaining the necessary elasticity or yielding action, by a continuation of the runner as will be hereinafter described and represented.
To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand my invention, I will proceed t0 describe its construction and operation.
of the skate is represented by A, it being made of any suitable stiff material and fashioned to suit the fancy of the wearer. This stock may be fitted up with straps, clamps, or itmay be secured permanently to the sole of a boot or shoe.
B is a runner or skate iron which should be made of steel so as to combine lightness, elasticity, and stiffness, it is made of a narrow strip, or bar, of any desirable thickness and formed into the desired curve or rocking shape, with a heel standard B1, and a reverse bend B2, which is swaged or flattened out so as to give both lateral and longitudinal strength to the attachment of this with the heel portion of the foot stand. rlhe height of the standard portion B1 will vary according to circumstances.
rlhe front attachment of the ruimer to the stock A is made by bending the metal up and over, and swaging or flattening out the end as represented, and securing it under or at the front or toe portieri of the foot stand as represented, or in any other way, by which the same object is attained, viz, a yielding and elastic action of the skate at the toe or front part. rFhis latter attachment gives a springing effect to the front part of the stock at a point most desirable for giving a forward thrust to the person when in the act of striking out At the same time the spring at this point will serve to some extent to prevent the jarring and disagreeable straining to the feet and legs in moving over rough ice, but by giving the same bend to the heel part of the runner, or bending the runner as represented by Fig. 2, elasticity will be obtained both at the heel and toe of the ruimer, and a sufficiently rigid attachment of the ruimer with the skate stock to prevent a lateral motion of the same in consequence of the lateral thrust of the feet while in the act of moving forward.
For all practical purposes, the skate iron represented by Fig. l will be found stronger and more eiicient than where spring is given to both heel and toe as in Fig. 2.
l am aware that the runners of skates have been attached to the foot stand by springs as in the case of the United States ln the drawings, the stock or foot stand i Patent No. 22,895.
Therefore what I eam and desire t0 sestand at any point or points whereby the rel cure by Letters Patent s5 A sult herein described may be obtained. An improved mede of arranono' and applyng the spring or springs, 2Jhebsarne be- CEAS' E' HALE J 5 ing a continuation of the runner, fastened Witnesses:
at the toe and heel of the foot stand, rgldly WM. THOMPSON, 0r by a suitablejoint, or secured to the ootl CI-IAs. CRUX. 1
