Abstract

The competitive and technological evolution of sports with ice skates such as ice hockey, speed skating, and figure skating as well as the conditioning and training of these athletes places increased demands on their equipment. Amongst these are the ability to vary the blade profile at different points to increase speed, agility, acceleration, etc according to the sport and the athlete's personal preferences. In many instances matching left and right blades is also important. In contrast in amateur sports where users access retail skate sharpening services speed or service and cost of service is important. A system and method are taught for simultaneously profiling both blades of user for increasing speed and reducing cost in retail environments whilst aligning there profiles in more professional applications. The method further allows for profiles to vary in cross-section along the length of the blade.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application US 61 / 409,650 filed Nov. 3, 2010 entitled “Ice Skate Blade” and U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61 / 409,650 filed Nov. 2, 2010 entitled “Multiple Blade Sharpening Apparatus and Method”FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to sharpening blades and more specifically to sharpening multiple blades simultaneously with complex profiles.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In winter sports such as ice skating and hockey the blades of an ice skate are the point of contact for all of the forces generated in turns, spins, jumps, stops, gathering speed etc. Ice skates typically have a convex shape along a length of the skate blade and a concave shape across the width of the blade, defining two edges along the length of the blade. A skater can use either of these two edges in executing maneuvers on the ice surface. In order to maintain a desired blade config...
