A skate having a locking mechanism for attaching a blade to front and rear pedestals of a support housing incorporated into a boot. The blade has forward and rear projecting lock arm portions which seat within mating recesses configured within each of the front and rear pedestals of the skate blade housing. A cam lock subassembly is incorporated into an interior of either of the front or rear pedestals in communication with its mating recess and includes a cam locking surface which is biased to seat against a blade locking surface of rear projecting lock arm portion. A cam lock release button projects from the pedestal which, upon depressing, unseats the cam locking surface from the blade locking surface to facilitate downward motion of the skate blade, with successive unseating of the forward lock arm portion detaching the skate blade from the housing.

An ice and snow dual-purpose sliding device includes: a shoe cover main body. An accommodating cavity is disposed on a top of the shoe cover main body. The accommodating cavity is matched with a shoe and configuring to receive the shoe. A bottom of the shoe cover main body includes a first area, a second area, and a third area. The second area is horizontally disposed. Two sliding devices are disposed on the second area in a protruding mode. The two sliding devices are in a rail shape to slide on an ice surface or a snowfield. First accelerating devices are detachably disposed on the two sliding devices. Second accelerating devices are detachably disposed on the first area. Braking devices are detachably disposed on the third area. The first area and the third area incline upwards relative to the second area.

A skate (e.g., an ice skate) for a skater (e.g., a hockey player). The skate comprises a skate boot for receiving a foot of the skater and a skating device (e.g., a blade and a blade holder) disposed beneath the skate boot to engage a skating surface (e.g., ice). At least part of the skate boot and optionally at least part of one or more other components (e.g., the skating device) may be constructed from one or more materials (e.g., foams) molded by flowing in molding equipment during a molding process (e.g., injection molding or casting). This may allow the skate (or other footwear) to have useful performance characteristics (e.g., reduced weight, proper fit and comfort, etc.) while being more cost-effectively manufactured. Other articles of footwear are also provided.

Blade holder device which extends along a longitudinal axis (L12) and which comprises a blade holder and a locking device which is mounted within said blade holder in a manner that the locking device is rotatable about a locking device axis (B), wherein the rotatable locking device is configured to mount a hook of an ice skate blade to the blade holder and comprises at least one radial irregularity with respect to the device axis (B) for interaction between the radial irregularity and a hook of an ice skate blade.

A slide body (1) for ice sports equipment, in particular for skates, is proposed. The slide body (1) comprises two wall elements (14-1) which have a roller fastening portion (141), a mounting bar fastening portion (142),. and bearings (143) inserted in the roller fastening portion (141), as well as a multiplicity of rollers (15) arranged behind one another. The rollers (15) each comprise a shaft and are arranged between the first (14-1) and second wall element along the roller fastening portion (141), the shafts being inserted into the bearings (143) mounted in the wall elements (14-1). The rollers (15) further comprise a rolling face which has a ground surface.

A skate riser as described herein can include adjustable offset capability or static offset capability. In the case of risers with static offset capability, presented herein are various skate riser systems that generally have a skate riser defined between a boot adapter mount end and a skate runner mount end, wherein the skate riser is not adjustable. The skate riser system further comprises a boot adapter mount that is connected to the boot adapter mount end. The boot adapter mount is configured to connect to a boot sole of a skate boot. A quick release shaft extends into a riser aperture in the riser between the ends. The quick release shaft comprises a key that retains a skate runner mount to the riser when in a first position/orientation but not when in a second position/orientation. Advantages of the static offset skate riser includes the ability to quickly swap out a blade with one configuration with a blade having a different configuration or simply just swapping out a blade.

An ice skate blade measurement device comprising a frame configured to couple to an ice skate blade; a measurement system configured to obtain measurement data associated with the ice skate blade; and a control system with computer-executable instructions configured to, when executed: determine, one or more measurements associated with geometry of the ice skate blade, and generate, an output based at least in part on the one or more measurements.
