Abstract
A blade measuring apparatus (21) to measure the radius and bend of skate blades along the longitudinal plane of the skate blade runner features a one-piece frame (1), thermally non-conductive handles (5), and adjustable, replaceable, and interchangeable magnetic force application components (9, 10) and assemblies.
Claims7
A skate blade measurement apparatus for the measurement of both radius of curvature and bend of a skate blade, the measurement device comprising:
- a. a one-piece main body structure;
- b. a thermally non-conductive handle assembly;
- c. with at least one removable source for a magnetic field attached to the main body structure for the purpose of exerting magnetic retention force on a skate blade;
- d. a means for measuring height, generally located in a center of the apparatus;
- e. A means for locating the main body of the apparatus on the skate blade such that is easily verified and repeatable;
- and
- f. at least one pair of contact points for the skate blade, one of the pair residing on each side of the means for locating the main body of the apparatus on the skate blade.
