AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0011]In particular, this embodiment provides an ice skate comprising a blade and a chassis, the chassis being associated with the blade along one side of it, to support and apply the blade to the sole of a shoe for ice skates, wherein the chassis has a box structure, substantially a shell, made by at least one layer of prefixed material and including the blade at said one side, with a hard clamping of the blade between the sides of the shell structure so as to substantially realize the blade as a keel.

Problems solved by technology

It is also known, however, that the hardness of an element, such as a blade for ice skates, is strictly associated with its fragility and that is almost always a really negative feature, as in particular in case of ice skate blades.
In fact, during sudden movements of the above mentioned type, cracks or even fractures of the blades may occur, not only compromising the exercise under execution, but also jeopardizing the skater safety.
However, all these efforts have lead to substantially not satisfactory results, as is typical of any compromise.

Embodiment Construction

[0038]With reference to the figures, 1 globally indicates an ice skate, in particular a hockey ice skate.

[0039]The ice skate 1 comprises a shoe 2 having a sole 3, extending between a tip portion 4 and heel portion 5, with an intermediate portion 6 being at the arc of the foot.

[0040]The ice skate 1 comprises a blade 7, with a top side 8 and a bottom side 9, the blade extending between a front end 10 and a rear end 11. In correspondence of the top side 8 and near the ends 10 and 11, the blade 7 includes respective projections 12 and 13, which define respective recesses 14 and 15, symmetrically arranged at said ends 10, 11, and hence respective undercut surfaces, being all marked with u, as schematically shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0041]The ice skate 1 also comprises a chassis 16 for supporting the blade 7 and for fixing the blade to the shoe 2.

[0042]In particular, the chassis 16 has a box structure, substantially a shell with a V-shaped section, long as the sole 3 of the shoe 2. The chass...

Abstract

An ice skate comprising a blade and a chassis, the chassis being associated with the blade along one side of it, to support and apply the blade to the sole of a shoe for ice skates, wherein the chassis has a box structure, substantially a shell, made by at least one layer of prefixed material and including the blade at said one side, with a hard clamping of the blade between the sides of the shell structure so as to substantially realize a keel for the blade.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present disclosure relates, in its more general terms, to a ice skate of the type which comprises a blade and a chassis for supporting said blade and for removably applying the blade to the sole of a corresponding shoe.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In ice skating sports, it is well known that the functionality of the used skates, the maintenance over time of such functionality according to the original levels, as well as the quality of the performance that are achieved and achievable thanks to them, largely depend on the hardness being intrinsic and / or provided to the blades of the considered ice skates.[0005]In fact, just the hardness of the blades, generally understood as their resistance to scratching, abrasion and penetration, is responsible of the grip on ice and, thus, of the balance, safety, reliability of performance of particularly challenging exercises, as well the execution of sudden, sharp and sometimes violent m...
