| 20100045016 | ANTI-CORROSION SKATE GUARD - The present invention provides a skate guard for receiving a blade of an ice skate, the skate guard comprising a pouch and a corrosion inhibitor. | 02-25-2010 |
| 20110079995 | Skate guard and walking device - The present invention provides a skate guard having an elongated body piece with a longitudinal channel for receiving a skate blade, and an end piece adapted to pivot relative to the body piece. The end piece, which is adapted to receive an end portion of a skate blade, may be pivotally and detachably secured in a closed position whereby a skate blade is held within the guard. In a preferred embodiment, a biased latch member is provided in the end piece to further secure a blade within the guard and to enable a user to install the guard by a step-in process. The end piece is preferably connected to the body piece though an adapter piece that enables the guard to be configured for a variety of skate lengths and shapes. The skate guard preferably includes lateral stabilizing ball and heel segments for added stability when walking and installing the guard. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110204612 | ICE SKATE BLADE GUARD - A blade guard for a runner blade of an ice skate. The blade guard includes a channel extending a distance between first and second ends. The channel has an open top and a bottom surface and first and second opposing side surfaces extending from the bottom surface to the open top. The blade guard also includes at least one recess disposed below the channel and extending a distance transverse to the distance of the channel. The at least one recess includes first and second countersink portions at opposite ends of the distance and a center portion. A first shoulder is defined between the first countersink portion and the center portion and a second shoulder is defined between the second countersink portion and the center portion. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20110221180 | SKATE SHOE APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A skate shoe apparatus may be used with a skate (e.g., an ice skate, a traditional roller skate or an inline skate) to provide a walking surface for a skater resembling that of a shoe or boot. The skate shoe apparatus includes a channel to receive a lower travel surface of a skate and support members to provide support (e.g., lateral support) for the skate and distribute lateral forces produced by the skate across the skate shoe apparatus. Additionally, the skate shoe apparatus prevents damage to the travel surface of a skate and increased safety when a skater wearing the skate walks on non-skating surfaces (e.g., walking in ice skates from a dressing area to the ice or across a parking lot to an arena or walking in traditional roller skates or inline skates in a store or restaurant). | 09-15-2011 |
| 20120013112 | Traction Device To Walk On Ice While Wearing Ice Skate Scabbard - An ice skate scabbard assembly or kit including a traction device attached to the bottom of an ice skate scabbard allowing for a wearer to walk onto ice while wearing the scabbard and to provide increased traction/friction, such that the wearer of the ice skate scabbard assembly will not fall while walking onto the ice. The assembly has at least one ice skate scabbard, at least one traction device and at least one attachment element for attaching the at least one ice skate scabbard to the at least one traction device. | 01-19-2012 |
| 20130264811 | LENGTH ADJUSTABLE SKATE BLADE GUARD - Disclosed herein is a length adjustable skate blade guard. The blade guard includes a first guard surrounding at least portion of a lower surface of a skate blade and a front end of the skate blade. A second guard surrounds a remaining portion of the lower surface of the skate blade and a rear end of the skate blade. At least one extension block is coupled between the first guard and the second guard, and extends a length of the guard to correspond to a length of the skate blade. At least one elastic body is secured at opposite ends thereof to the first guard and the second guard, respectively, the elastic body elastically putting the facing first and second guards in close contact with each other. | 10-10-2013 |
| 20140339802 | ICE SKATE BLADE GUARD WITH SAFETY FEATURE - An ice skate blade guard comprises a device for limiting/preventing falls and injury on the ice when skate blade guards are inadvertently left on when the skater enters the ice. At least one longitudinally-extending bar, blade, or other member provided on the bottom of the guard is sufficiently narrow, sharp, and/or with sharp or biting side edge(s) to bite-into the ice, upon incipient sideways movement, due to the member(s) being biased against the ice and/or due to weight of the wearer. The member(s) prevent sideways slipping, but allow forward movement. The slip-prevention member(s) may be movable in/on the guard and biased downward relative to the main body. In some versions, the slip-prevention blade(s) are fixed to the guard, rigidly and non-movably protruding from the bottom of the guard. | 11-20-2014 |
| 20150321071 | ICE SKATE BLADE GUARD WITH SAFETY FEATURE - An ice skate blade guard comprises a device for limiting/preventing falls and injury on the ice when skate blade guards are inadvertently left on when the skater goes onto the ice. At least one longitudinally-extending bar, blade, or other member provided on the bottom of the guard is sufficiently narrow, sharp, and/or with sharp or biting side edge(s) to bite-into the ice, upon incipient sideways movement, due to the member(s) being biased against the ice and/or due to weight of the wearer. The member(s) prevent sideways slipping, but allow forward movement. The slip-prevention member(s) may be movable in/on the guard and biased downward relative to the main body. In some versions, the slip-prevention blade(s) are fixed to the guard, rigidly and non-moveably protruding from the bottom of the guard. | 11-12-2015 |
