SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 286,199, dated ctober'9, 1883. Application filed February 28p, lEEB. (Xc model.)
stamped, or cut in onepiecefro'm a sheet or Be it known that I, ROBERT C. HINDLEY, of Racine, in theccu-nty of Racine and Statev of Wisconsin, have invented certain Improvements in Skates, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to skates; and it consists in a novel The twoparts of the blank A are bent to stand at'right angles one to the other, the bend "being made at the inner part a, the ears c being, however, and in clamping or attaching devices applied allowed to4 project horizontally in the saine thereto, as hereinafter more fully pointed out plane with the sole part a. The ear d of each @11d @Xplainedblank A is bent up at aright angle to the sole part a, and has its upperedge slightly bent over to form a lip or burr, f, sink slightlyint'o and firmly engage with the heel of the boot the manufacture of .manner of sents a perspectiveview of the complete skate; Fig. 2,- a` face view of one of the blanks of which it is mainly composed; Figs. 3 and 4, or shoe to which the skate is applied. The two blanks thus formed lare united by lapping the ears c of one over those of the other and riveting the two together at each end of the skate, either by a single rivet, as in Figs. 1 and 4, or by two rivets, asin Fig. 3, in which latter case the ears require 'to be made longer than otherwise, in order to extend across the space g, between the blanks, and to lap over upon the sole part a at the opposite side. The space lefttbetween the edges of the two sole parts a is equal to or corresponds with the thickness or breadth of the runner, the two runner parts b extending vertically down# Ward, parallel with each other, as shown in Fig. 5, and being separated and maintained in proper relation by an intermediate strip or filling, B, of Iwood, soft iron,

view of the fastening or clamping devices removed from the skate; Fig.- 7, a detail View, illustrating a feature of construction of the clamping mechanism. e' Fig. 8 illustrates la modification'. v
The purpose of my invention is to produce a cheap and durable skate which shall be selfsharpening, light, and neat in appearance, and to provide the saine with a ready. and efficient. means of attachmentto the boot or shoe of al skater. With this object inview I construct the skate of sheet-steel or other suitable metal, in the manner presently described, and provide the same with a clamping device, which also may be stamped, punched, or cut from. sheet metal. I desire, however, to state that I ain aware of a previous attempt to construct skates of sheet metal, and therefore do not claim to be the originator of that idea, broadly considered, though I do believemyself to be the inventor of 'various important features and improvements not heretofore proposed or suggested.
Referring now to the drawings, the general skate will be seen in Fig. 1,
adapted to the purpose,
and easily applied; but any well-known substance suitable for the purpose may be used. The two side pieces, b, lof the runner are firmly united by means' of-rivets fi, orby screws, bolts, or equivalent fastenings passing through said parts and through the intermediate filling, as shown in Figs. 1 and 5, great stiffness and and in Fig. 2 is represented one of the two thus giving lthe runner A blanks of which the sole and runner are formed, solidity. The form of the runnerthat is to 'cach blank forming one-half of the sole and say its curva ure orl st le, las rocker,77
half-rocker, &c. may be varied to suit the a simple straight runner being reprelinv the drawings, that being acommon cnc-half of the runner. K v
The blankA consists of t-wo'parts, a and b,
`the first formed with ears c on the inner side,
and with aspur or ear, (1,011 the outer side,
l trade,
sented form.
near the rear end, and the second vl'nadc of the' the whole being punched,
to cause it to or other metal,
besides'being cheap IOO v 55 plate of metal, preferably and ordinarily steel.
For the purpose o f readily attaching the skate to a boot or shoe, l provide the niech anisin shown in Figs. 1 and 6, the ears 7 of the sole-plates acting in conjunctioirwith the other pai-ts, and constituting, preferably, a part ot' the fastening mechanism, though not absolutely essential thereto.
(l represents a slide having an nptnrned portion, j, the upper edge ot' which is formed with a lip or burr, serrated, it'desired,F and 'adapted to press against; and embed itself into the inner front t'ace ot' the boot or shoe heel, the slide being further provided withdependv ing lips l, which are turned outwardly beneath the sole-plate (l, and serve to retain the slide in place.. The slide may be applied to the skate before the two blanks A. are united; or it inav be subsequent-ly applied and the lips l turned outward after the slide is 4inserted in place, with ,the depending lips extending downwardthrough the open space 0. The slide (l is jointed to alever, l), formed with a lateral extension or finger-piece, in, and this lever is i n turn jointed to a second lever or bar, E, tothe forward end of which are jointed two sliding clamps, F, extending backward from the point ot? connection at an angle tothe slot or opening g, the body ot' each slide being slotted to receive a guiding and supporting stud, a, formed with a T-head, and secured to the under side ofthe soleplate a, the T form of stud being preferred, because it permits theapplication of the slides after the studs are secured permanently in place, it being merely necessary to turn the slides to a position in which the slots o of the slides coineide with the lengtlrof the T-heads, care being taken to so set the studs that their heads shall extend across the slots when the slides` are in working position. Underthisariangef nient it will be seen the parts l) E constitute a toggle-lever, the straightening` of which forces the outer ends apart, and the bending or folding of which draws said ends together, or toward each other. The slide (l causes the end of lever E, attached to it, to move in line with the slot or opening g, and a washer, j), or! equivalent projecting body, similarly guides the forward end of bar E. 1 i The pivot q, which connects the levers D; and E or joiiitsr s, and a stop or shoulder, t, is formed j on lever D to limit the movement of the leversf inward beyond a straight line with each other. j Under this arrangement the levers will lock and be retained firmly in position when brought' into line, because of the pivot-q passing a linef ruiming through the centers of pivots or joints, i' .9, as will be readily understood. g The skate being thus constructed, the levers D E are drawn out of line by taking hold off the finger-piece m and pulling it laterally withv ieference to the body of the skate,- and this operation causes slide Q to move forward and! slides F to move both backward and outward, affording room for the easy entrance of the the clampingslides F being at the and caused to clamp the soley is set slightly out of line with the pivots sole and heel of the boot or shoe'between the clamps F and slide C and eai's d, \Vhen the sole and heel are thus entered, the levels l) E ai'e pressed inward into liuc, and the slide (l thereby forced backward and caused to engage with and embed itself in the face of the heel, while the eai's d similarly engage with and embed themselves in the rear outer face, saine time forced forward of the boot or shoe, and the parts being all held in position by the locking ol' levers l) l] past the center, as explained.
In order t-o adapt the skates to shoes or boots of varying sizes and shapes, one ot' the le.- vers l) l, preferably the latter, is furnished with a series of holes, or with an elongated slot at its outer end, so that the pivot bolt, pin, or stud may be set closer to or farther from the pivot or joint g, thereby shortening or lengthening thc distance between pivot-s or joints i' s, and correspondingly increasing or diminishing the openings or spaces between the sole and heel clamps. lt' the slot is eniployed, as seems preferable, because of the greater convenience and nieety of adjustment which it permits, it :ill be found advisable to employ a pivot of' the construction shown in,
Fig.- 7that is to say, consisting of a nut, a, having a tubular body just enough longer than the joint thickness of slides F to permit them to turn freely between the head or enlargeinent of the nut and the lever E, and a screw, n, passing through said lever into the nut, and serving to draw and hold it up firmly against the under side ot' the level'. ltthe separate holes are used-a plan which renders the accidental shifting of the pivot impossible-fthe screw may `be screwed direct] y into the lower of the slides F, being in either case preferably inserted from above, because of the greater coilvenieiice of so doing, and because it cannot then work out while the skate is in use. Itis obvious that the lengthening and shortening can be effected by making either of the levels I) E in two parts, threading the approximate ends, respectively, with right and left hand threads, and joining them by a `nut correspondingly threaded; or a screw-stem swiveled in one of the parts may be employed.
The skate thus constructed is simple, cheap, and durable, much lighter than those of ordinary construction, and, owing to the more rapid Wearing away of the filling than of the side plates of the runner, is self-sharpening, which feature is one of great importance, as will be readily se'en.
It will be seen that insteadv of slotting .the clamping-slides F they may be formed with lips or ears w, to guide them' and retain them in place, the sole of the skate being in suoli case'slotted, as in Fig. 8, and the lips or ears w carried upward through the slots and bent ove upon the sole-plate at each side, as shown, the lips being slightly bent or rounded to pei'- niit the slides or clamps F to turn or swing.
