20100253020 | ICE SKATE BLADE AND BLADE HEATING ARRANGEMENT - An ice skate assembly for attachment to a boot has a skate blade and a blade heating arrangement mounted within a blade support. The blade is heated by a row of field-effect transistors or by a resistance heating wire carried on the blade at a circuit board encapsulated on the top edge of the blade in an over-molded plastic strip which engages into a slot in the support as a wedged fit. The blade is attached by an inclined wedge member a screw for pulling the blade longitudinally of the blade and to draw the inclined wedge member into its receptacle. The battery pack is carried in the rear tower which is sealed against moisture penetration and includes two proximity switches for actuation. | 10-07-2010 |
20120306171 | Ski with Swingable Tail - Disclosed is a ski having a front ski section and a rear ski section, each having a central longitudinal axis and a skiing surface. Boot binding fixing locations are provided on the front ski section. The rear ski section is connected to the front ski section rearward of the boot binding fixing locations such that, in a neutral configuration, the central longitudinal axes of the ski sections are substantially in linear alignment, and the skiing surfaces of the ski sections are substantially in planar alignment. The rear ski section is capable of swinging sideways relative to the front ski section whereby the central longitudinal axes of the ski sections move out of linear alignment. The rear ski section is capable of moving up and down relative to the front ski section whereby the skiing surfaces of the ski sections move out of planar alignment. | 12-06-2012 |

20140042718 | BIOMECHANICAL ARTICULATING SKATE - An ice skate in the foam of a boot that surrounds a foot, ankle and preferably the lower leg of a user. The boot has a heel portion and toe portion and a metatarsal hinge facilitating rotational movement of the heel portion with respect to the toe portion about this hinge. The anterior and posterior blades have substantially linear edges for selectively contacting an ice surface, the blades being biased by use of a spring extending from the heel of the skate to the holder of the anterior blade. | 02-13-2014 |
20140062041 | COUPLING MEANS - A coupling means arranged in a binding, the binding including an upper chassis section and a lower chassis section which are engaged via the coupling means, and which are pivotally arranged relative to each other in a longitudinal direction, the coupling means comprising a spring back component arranged at either chassis section; and at least one bolt element arranged for engaging, at at least one selected position, with the other chassis section and being arranged on an opposite side of the spring back component in relation to that other chassis section, so that when the chassis sections are pivoted in relation to each other, the spring back component is lifted by the at least one bolt element thereby counteracting the pivoting movement. | 03-06-2014 |
20150097347 | ADJUSTABLE SKATING BLADE SYSTEM - A piece of footwear, such as ice skating boots, is provided wherein a skating blade system is operable to be pivoted, tilted and/or rotated about at least two axes so as to enable the skating blade to be vertically aligned with the knee/upper portion of the lower leg (e.g., proximal portion of the tibia) of the skater so as to maintain proper balance. The adjustable skating blade system can provide the corrected foot with adequate balance relative to the skating blade during typical ice skating maneuvers. The skating blade system may include a skating blade and at least one mounting system. The mounting system may be provided on the underside surface of the sole and/or heel platform of the skating boot. The mounting system may be positioned at the heel, toe, and/or the mid-foot positions of the underside surface of the sole and/or heel platform of the ice skating boot. | 04-09-2015 |
