Description
- This application is a continuation and a division of co-pending application Ser. No. 09/923,694, filed Aug. 7, 2001, which claims the benefit of the priority date of provisional application Ser. No. 60/223,517, filed Aug. 7, 2000 in the names of Karl Van Blankenburg and Edward J. Belfour, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- Hockey ice skates typically include a metal blade which is removably mounted in one-piece holder. The holder is, in turn, secured to the sole of a skate boot by means of a plurality of rivets, with rivets being commonly employed.
- While the holder is capable of securely fixing the blade to the boot, difficulties arise when the blade must be sharpened since the blade and bulky holder cannot be easily or quickly removed from the boot. This makes it difficult to manipulate or fixedly secure the entire skate in a blade sharpening machine for re-sharpening the blade edge.
- Goalie ice skates have a somewhat different construction in that a smaller height boot is mounted inside a plastic protective shell. The shell includes an integral holder for a blade which is insert molded in the shell. The shell is then riveted to the sole in the same manner as a regular hockey ice skate.
- Further, with goalie skates, removal of the blade when the blade is damaged, worn out, or otherwise requires replacement involves removal of all of the rivets attaching the holder to the skate boot. At best, this is a time consuming and costly process.
- It would be desirable to provide a goalie skate protective shell having a removable blade to overcome the aforementioned problems with prior art goalie skates; while at the same time providing the desired extra protection of a goalie's feet.
- A goalie skate protective shell for receiving a goalie ice skate boot includes a protective shell having opposed sidewalls and a sole joined by toe and heel portions. A holder is unitarily formed as part of the sole of the shell. The holder has an open ended groove extending lengthwise thereover. At least two transversely extending bores are formed in the holder. A blade has a blade edge and at least two legs projecting from the blade. Apertures are formed in the legs for alignment with the transverse extending bores in the holder when the blade is mounted in the open ended groove in the holder. Fasteners are engagable through the apertures in legs of the blade and the transversely extending bores in the holder to removable affix the blade to the holder.
- The present goalie skate protective shell with removable blade overcomes deficiencies found in previous goalie ice skate protective shells. The holder which is integrally formed as a unitary part of the protective shell removably receives an ice skate blade which uniquely enables the blade to be removed for replacement, sharpening, etc. This makes the protective shell of the present invention easier to use than previously devised goalie skate protective shells.
- The various features, advantages and other uses of the present invention will become more apparent by referring to the following detailed description and drawing in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a goalie skate protective shell with replaceable blade according to the present invention; -
FIG. 2 is an elevational view of the inner side of the assembled goalie skate protective shell and blade show inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a side elevational view of the outer side of the assembled goalie protective shell and blade of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a side elevational view of the replaceable blade shown inFIGS. 1-3 ; and -
FIG. 5 is a front end view of the goalie skate protective shell and replaceable blade according to the present invention. - Referring now to the drawing, and to
FIGS. 1-5 in particular, there is depicted agoalie skate 10 having aprotective shell 12 with areplaceable blade 14 mounted therein. - The
shell 12 is formed as a one-piece body of a suitable hard plastic, such as polypropylene or polyethylene. Theshell 12 includes opposed side walls including anouter side wall 20 and aninner side wall 22. The outer side wall extends between atoe cup 24 and aheel 26, with thetoe cup 24 and theheel 26 joining opposed ends of the outer andinner side walls - The
outer side wall 20 has a relatively low profile, at least in a center portion of theskate 10. This low profile is formed by anupper edge 28 which depends from an upper end at theheel 26 to a lower height side lip portion extending longitudinally along the length of theshell 12 before rising again and curving smoothly into thetoe cup 24. - The
inner side wall 22 has a greater height with anankle portion 30 rising above the upper extent of theheel 26 before thecentral edge 31 of theinner side wall 22 smoothly depends from theankle portion 30 to thetoe cup 24. - A sole 18 is formed along a bottom surface of the
shell 12 and is integrally joined to theside wall toe cup 24 and theheel 26. The overall dimensions of the sole 18 are chosen for each aparticular size boot 16. - A
blade holder portion 32 is integrally joined to or molded with the sole 18 and depends from the sole 18. Theholder portion 32 may take a variety of shapes; although all shapes of theholder portion 32 include a plurality of dependinglegs most leg 34 located in the toe portion of theshell 12 and the rearmost leg 40 located at the heel portion of theshell 12 are formed with throughbores 42 to receive replaceable blade fasteners shown as a two-part fastener formed offastener elements intermediate legs 36 and 38 of theholder 32 haveinternal slots 48 opening from a bottom edge of theholder 32, the purpose of which will also be described hereinafter. - Finally, the bottom of the
holder portion 32 is in the form of a continuous edge having an internal open-ended groove 50 extending there along between theleg 34 in toe portion of theshell 12 and theleg 40 in theheel 26 of theshell 12. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , theside portions leg holder portion 32 taper inwardly from an upper end adjacent to the sole 18 to thegroove 50. - The
legs holder portion 32 form a plurality of weight reducing apertures therebetween, with threeapertures FIG. 2 . - The
blade 14 is preferably formed of a metal, such as steel. Theblade 14, as shown in detail inFIGS. 1-5 , includes a blade edge 64 and anopposed mounting edge 66 which is adapted to fit within thegroove 50 in theholder portion 32. Themounting edge 66 may have a smooth continuous surface or an irregular surface with cut outs for reduced weight as shown by example only inFIGS. 1 and 4 . - A
blade portion 68 is formed between the blade edge 64 and themounting edge 66. Theblade portion 68 extends between atoe edge 70 and aheel edge 72. Optionally, a plurality of identical or different shapedweight reducing apertures 74 are formed along the length of theblade portion 68. - A front or
toe leg 78 extends from thetoe edge 70 as shown inFIG. 4 . The outer profile of thetoe leg 78 includes anotch 80 which is optionally provided by example only. Similarly, aheel leg 82 extends from theheel edge 72. Anoptional notch 84 may be formed in the outer surface of theheel leg 82 for weight reducing purposes. - At least one and preferably a pair of
lateral supports blade portion 68 between thetoe leg 78 and theheel leg 82. At least oneaperture 90 is formed in each of thelateral supports slots 48 formed in thelegs 36 and 38 of theholder 32 to provide lateral support for theblade 14. - The
blade 14 is removably attachable to theholder portion 32 by means of theaforementioned fasteners bores toe leg 78 and theheel leg 82. Thetoe leg 78 and theheel leg 82 slide within open endedgrooves legs holder portion 32 such that theapertures bores 42 in thelegs fasteners elements - The
frontmost aperture 56 in theholder portion 32 is formed with a rearward facingprojection 98. Theprojection 98 enables the goalie to fit the front toe strap 99 of the leg pads in place over theprojection 98 to stop the leg pads from twisting during use. - In use, the
shell 12 receives a conventionalgoalie skate boot 16 therein. At a number ofperipheral locations 100, a plurality of rivets or screws pass through the sole 18 of theshell 12 into the sole of theboot 16 to secure theboot 16 andshell 12 together. This enables a goalie to exhibit unitary movement between his legs, theboots 16 and theshell 12 mounted on eachboot 16. - Other features of the present invention may be more clearly seen in
FIGS. 2 and 3 . As shown therein, therearmost aperture 60 in theholder portion 32 is formed with at least oneangled edge 96. Theedge 96 is specifically formed to accommodate the correct orientation of the lower attachingstrap 97 of a goalie's leg pad. Theedge 96 allows the leg pad strap to lie flat across theholder 32 without twisting. - The intermediate mounting
edge 66 of theblade portion 68 of theblade 14 extends into thegroove 50 in theholder 32 to laterally support theblade 14 from lateral movement relative to theholder 32. The lateral supports 86 and 88 assist in such lateral support. - If at any time, the
blade 14 needs to be re-sharpened since it has become dull, thefastener elements blade 14 to be separated from theshell 12. This enables theblade 14 to be easily and stationally mounted in a conventional blade sharpening machine, not shown, to re-sharpen the edge 64 on theblade 14. - Alternately, damaged or
dull blades 14 can be easily and quickly removed and replaced by new, sharp blades in the limited amount of time between periods in a conventional hockey game. - The
replaceable blades 14 can also be interchanged with different blades more suited for different ice conditions. Soft ice require blades that are duller; while hard ice needs sharp blades for optimum skating performance. - After the
blades 14 have worn down as a result of multiple sharpenings over time, theblades 14 can be easily removed and replaced with new blades without having to remove theshell 12 from theboot 16. - In summary, there has been disclosed a unique goalie skate with includes a protective shell having a removable blade mounted thereon.
