AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a new type of ice skate that has a flat blade surface and a shallow angle through which the skate can rotate before it touches the ice, making it more confident and stable for skating. Compared to existing skates, the new skate has a lower centre of gravity and provides a more secure feel for novice skaters.

Problems solved by technology

Such a relatively great distance leads to instability for the wearer.
These factors may lead to the possibility of injury especially for inexperienced skaters.
Skates with two blades may cause problems with turning or cornering as will be understood.
Strap-on and clip-on skates have inherent problems with stability and rigidity.

Abstract

Present ice skates 10 have a relatively great distance between the sole and the surface of the blades 40 for contacting the ice in use. This leads to instability. The present invention provides an ice skate comprising a boot or shoe, a sole and at least one blade 140 integral therewith, wherein the distance between the blade surface, for contact with ice in use, and the underside of the sole is approximately 20 mm or less.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present non-provisional patent application claims the benefit of priority of: foreign Patent Application No. GB1100412.4, which is entitled AN ICE SKATE and which was filed Jan. 11, 2011; foreign Patent Application No. GB1111220.8, which is entitled AN ICE SKATE and which was filed Jul. 1, 2011, all of which are incorporated in full by reference herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to an ice skate and finds particular, although not exclusive, utility in the provision of skates for the skate hire market.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Ice skates include blades attached to the underside of a sole. The distance from the surface of the blade (for contact with the ice in use) and the underside of the sole is typically in the range 50 to 75 mm.[0004]Such a relatively great distance leads to instability for the wearer. This may be due to a relatively high centre of gravity and / or due to the angle through...
