Ice skate and boot for competitive speed skating

摘要

The blade (1a) is held in a frame (1). The boot (3) is mounted on a carrier (2). The carrier has a sole support (2a) and heel support (2b) linked by a bridge (2c). The sole support is pivotted on a transverse shaft (4). The heel (2b) is hollow and sits on a conical pillar (7). If the skater lifts his heel, the boot tilts upwards and forwards, but the skate remains horizontal.
