Benefits of technology
"The present invention is about an ice skate blade that is made using a special process. The blade is made by rolling a pressing machine, which creates a wider lower part and a thinner upper part. The blade also has multiple holes and is curved upward at both ends. To make the blade lighter, a layer of light and rigid polymeric resin material is added to cover it. This design helps to make the blade stronger and more durable."
Problems solved by technology
However, the method of material replacement still suffers from some disadvantages as follows.
Firstly, it consumes much more time to form two elongated thinner sides (2) of the blade (4) by milling machine after the blade (4) is milled into shape, especially the milling process could only be practiced uni-laterally at one time which means it would take twice the time to complete the process.
Secondly, the milling process needs to be practiced after the blade (4) is cut into shape which means that a large amount of material would be cut off causing much waste of the material and the cost.
Thirdly, the elongated thinner sides (2) are formed by removing a large amount of steel material and such process would harm the nature of the steel material and lessen the rigidity of the blade (4)

Embodiment Construction
[0018]Referring to FIGS. 4-8 of the drawings, the present invention includes a blade holder (50) and a blade (40), wherein the blade is formed by processing an originally cylinder shaped blade (10) by a rolling machine (30) as shown in FIG. 4. With multi sectional process of rolling molding, upper portion of the cylinder shaped blade (10) is clipped and rolled slightly into thinner width at the first section, and then clipped tighter and rolled into much thinner but suitable width in the following rolling sections to form a blade with wider lower portion and thinner upper portion. A plurality of through holes (101) with suitable spaced equi-distance in between are provided on the thinner upper portion of the blade (10) which is curved upward at both ends. A layer of light and rigid polymeric resin material (20) is used for covering the thinner upper portion of the blade (10) to form the blade (10) with upper and lower sections.

Abstract
The present invention relates to the manufacturing method of an ice skate blade. The blade originally shaped as cylinder is processed by a rolling machine and gradually being rolled into a blade with thinner upper portion and wider lower portion. A plurality of through holes with equi-distance in between are provided on the upper portion of the blade which is curved upward at both ends. Finally, a layer of light and rigid polymeric resin material is provided for covering the upper portion of the blade to complete the blade having upper and lower matching sections.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an ice skate blade, more particularly to the manufacture method of the blade with being gradually rolling pressed by a rolling machine.[0003]2. Description of Related Invention[0004]Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawing, a conventional skate blade of which the steel blade (1) is originally cut off into shape by machine increases the weight of the blade.[0005]As for FIGS. 2 and 3 of the drawing, the U.S. Pat. No. 6,761,363 issued on Jul. 13, 2004 to Richard J. Fask et al, an improvement structure of the blade is described, wherein the blade (4) is initially milled into shape and two elongated thinner sides (2) of the blade (4) are forming by milling machine. Further, through holes are formed and finally the blade (4) is covered by a layer of polymeric resin material (3) for reducing the weight of the whole blade. However, the method of material replacement still suffers from some dis...
