Abstract

A method is for using a skate-grinding device. The method provides an automatic sharpening system (10) that has grip members (14, 16) and a grinding wheel (28). A blade (18) of a skate (20) is inserted into a groove (19). The system is turned on. A motor (44) rotates the grinding wheel (28) and automatically moves the grinding wheel (28) within the groove to grind the blade (18). An electronic unit (86) measures a time the system (10) is used. A user of the system (10) is charged for the time measured by the electronic unit (86).

Claims (10)

1. A method of using a skate grinding device, comprising:
provide an automatic sharpening system (10) having grip members (14, 16) and a grinding wheel (28);
inserting a blade (18) of a skate (20) into a groove (19);
a motor (44) rotating the grinding wheel (28) and moving the grinding wheel (28) within the groove to grind the blade (18);
an electronic unit (86) measuring a time the system (10) is used;
the system sending an activation signal to a remote communication device to indicate that the system is being used by a user; and the user of the system (10) being charged for the time measured by the electronic unit (86).
2. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises the grip members centering the blade within the groove.
3. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises turning a handle to center the grip members and to exert a clamping pressure on the blade.
4. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises a sharpening device (36) grinding a convex shape of a peripheral surface (38) of the grinding wheel (28).
5. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises centering the sharpening device (36) within a gap (76).
6. The method according to the claim 4 wherein the method further comprises moving the sharpening device (36) along a peripheral path (82).
7. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises rotating a counter-weight device (64) eccentrically mounted on the grinding wheel (28).
8. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises the grinding wheel (28) automatically following a curved shape of rounded ends (32, 34) of the blade (18) while providing a constant grinding pressure.
9. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises remotely controlling the system 10 with a mobile telephone.
10. The method according to the claim 1 wherein the method further comprises the handle (46) rotating eccentrically mounted fasteners (48, 50, 56, 58)
