Smart Summary: A skate blade is designed to be lightweight and strong, helping it resist damage during collisions in ice hockey. It has a base with protrusions and recesses that work together with a reinforcement plate made of stainless steel. The reinforcement plate also has its own protrusions and recesses, allowing for a secure fit with the base. Additionally, it features holes that let part of the body, made from plastic, connect through it. This design improves the blade's durability and performance on the ice. 🚀 TL;DR

Abstract:

A skate blade contains a base, a reinforcement piece, and a body. The base includes a plurality of first protrusions, and a first recess is defined between any two adjacent first protrusions. The reinforcement plate includes a plurality of second protrusions, and a second recess is defined between any two adjacent second protrusions. Each first protrusion of the base retains with each second recess of the reinforcement plate, and each first recess of the base retains with each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate. The reinforcement plate also includes a plurality of through orifices, and each through orifice is defined on said each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate. The body is injection molded from plastic material and is connected with the base and the reinforcement plate so that a part of the body inserts through the plurality of through orifices of the reinforcement plate.

Skates with special blades Special constructions of the simple blade

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a skate blade which has anti-collision capacity and is lightweight and reinforced.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Ice skates are boots with skate blades attached to the bottom, used to propel the bearer across a sheet of ice while ice skating. However, the skate blades distort and destroy easily as being collided in ice hockey.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a skate blade which has anti-collision capacity and is lightweight and reinforced.

To obtain above-mentioned objective, a skate blade provided by the present invention contains: a base, a reinforcement piece, and a body.

The base includes a plurality of first protrusions formed on a top thereof, and a first recess is defined between any two adjacent first protrusions.

The reinforcement plate is made of stainless steel and includes a plurality of second protrusions formed on a bottom thereof, and a second recess is defined between any two adjacent second protrusions.

Each first protrusion of the base retains with each second recess of the reinforcement plate, and each first recess of the base retains with each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate.

The reinforcement plate also includes a plurality of through orifices, and each through orifice is defined on said each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate.

The body is injection molded from plastic material and is connected with the base and the reinforcement plate so that a part of the body inserts through the plurality of through orifices of the reinforcement plate.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the exploded components of a skate blade according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the assembly of the skate blade according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the assembly of a part of the skate blade according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the assembly of a part of a skate blade according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional perspective view showing the assembly of a part of a skate blade according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 5, a skate blade 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises: a base 11, a reinforcement piece 12, and a body 13.

The base 11 includes a plurality of first protrusions 111 formed on a top thereof, and a first recess is defined between any two adjacent first protrusions 11. The reinforcement plate 12 is made of stainless steel and includes a plurality of second protrusions formed on a bottom thereof, and a second recess is defined between any two adjacent second protrusions, wherein each first protrusion 111 of the base 11 retains with each second recess of the reinforcement plate 12, and each first recess of the base 11 retains with each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate 12. The reinforcement plate 12 also includes a plurality of through orifices 121, and each through orifice 121 is defined on said each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate 12. The body 13 is injection molded from plastic material and is connected with the base 11 and the reinforcement plate 12 so that a part of the body 13 inserts through the plurality of through orifices 121 of the reinforcement plate 12. In another embodiment, a carbon fiber cloth layer is covered on the base 11 and the reinforcement plate 12, and a plurality of carbon fiber bars are inserted through the plurality of through orifices 121 and are hot pressed on the body 13, such that the base 11 and the reinforcement plate 12 are connected with the body 13 securely, the skate blade 1 has anti-collision capacity by way of the reinforcement plate 12, and the body 13 is lightweight and reinforced.

While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. The scope of the claims should not be limited by the preferred embodiments set forth in the examples, but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole.

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A skate blade comprising: a base, a reinforcement piece, and a body;

with the base including a plurality of first protrusions formed on a top thereof, and a first recess defined between any two adjacent first protrusions;

with the reinforcement plate made of stainless steel and including a plurality of second protrusions formed on a bottom thereof, and a second recess defined between any two adjacent second protrusions;

wherein each first protrusion of the base retains with each second recess of the reinforcement plate, and each first recess of the base retains with each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate;

wherein the reinforcement plate also includes a plurality of through orifices, and each through orifice is defined on said each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate; and

wherein the body is injection molded from plastic material and is connected with the base and the reinforcement plate so that a part of the body inserts through the plurality of through orifices of the reinforcement plate.
