Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates in general to a support for a figure skate blade and more particularly to an extruded light-weight figure skate blade holder that is mounted to a figure skate boot and holds a two-part figure skate blade. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The skating industry includes a number of very different skating sports, such as hockey, figure skating, and speed skating. The concepts found in the skating industry can also be used in the roller blade industry. The popularity of these sports both at the recreational level and professional level has increased dramatically around the world resulting in changes to skate boots, blades and blade holder systems which strive to improve both the performance and the comfort of the boot, blade and bald holder. [0003] For example, Shum is the owner of U.S. Pat. No. 6,105,975 issued on Aug. 22, 2000, which relates to a lightweight ice skate for reducing and eliminating the vibrations experienced by a ska...
