CA 2270996

An ice skate has a support member (1), for attachment to a boot (2) of the wearer, and a blade (3), connected to the support member (1) by a strut (4). The strut (4) is a generally rigid block and incorporates a forward, upwardly curved, face (5) of the blade. The rearward portion (6) of the blade extends freely from the strut (4) and is able to flex to a certain extent. Thus, when the skater is negotiating a curve the rearward portion (6) of the blade can flex into a curved state so as to maintain the rear part (7) of the ice bearing surface substantially in contact with the ice during that manoeuvre. A boss (8), projecting upwardly from the free end of the blade portion (6), and a filler plate (9) help to reduce the danger of the free end of the blade portion creating a potential danger to other skaters.

Ce patin à glace comporte un élément support (1) se fixant à la bottine (2) du patineur et une lame (3) reliée à l'élément support (1) par un pylône (4). Ce pylône (4), qui est un bloc généralement rigide, intègre la face antérieure (5), incurvée vers le haut, de la lame. La partie postérieure (6) de la lame, qui se développe librement depuis le pylône (4), est capable de fléchir dans certaines limites. Ainsi, lorsque le patineur négocie une courbe, la partie postérieure (6) de la lame peut fléchir et prendre une forme incurvée de façon à maintenir la partie postérieure (7) de la surface en appui sur la glace sensiblement en contact avec la glace pendant la manoeuvre. Une protubérance, (8) dépassant vers le haut de l'extrémité libre de la partie postérieure (6) de la lame, et une plaque en drapeau (9), participent à la diminution du danger que présente l'extrémité libre de la partie postérieure (6) de la lame pour les autres patineurs.
