Abstract
An ice skating assist system for facilitating skating on a sheet of ice includes a sheet of ice and a support to facilitate upright stabilization of a person on the sheet of ice. The support includes a plurality of legs equally spaced laterally from each other and from a vertical center axis about which the plurality of legs is positioned. The support further includes a plurality of feet and a closed loop attached to each of the legs. A brace is coupled to each of the legs to reinforce a position of the legs with respect to each other. A strap is removably attached to the support and for inhibiting the person from falling on the sheet of ice.

A skating assist system configured for facilitating ice skating, said skating assist system comprising:
- a sheet of ice;
- a support configured to facilitate upright stabilization of a person on the sheet of ice, said support including:
- a plurality of legs being equally spaced laterally from each other and from a vertical center axis about which the plurality of legs are positioned;
- a plurality of feet;
- a closed loop being attached to each of said legs;
- and
- a brace being coupled to each of said legs to reinforce a position of said legs with respect to each other;
- and
- a strap being removably attached to said support and being configured for inhibiting the person from falling on said sheet of ice, wherein said strap has a first end and a second end, said first end having a coupler for removably securing to said inner wall of one of said legs, said coupler comprising a bolt and nut assembly, said second end having a buckle for removably fastening said second end around an exterior of said closed loop.
A skating assist system configured for facilitating ice skating, said skating assist system comprising:
- a sheet of ice;
- a support configured to facilitate upright stabilization of a person on the sheet of ice, said support including:
- a plurality of legs being equally spaced laterally from each other and from a vertical center axis about which the plurality of legs are positioned, wherein the person is positioned at the vertical center axis when using the support, said plurality of legs being three legs, said legs being angled inwardly toward the vertical center axis from a bottom end to a top end of said legs, each of said legs including an inner wall and an outer wall wherein said inner wall is positioned nearer to the vertical center axis than said outer wall;
- a plurality of feet, each of the bottom ends of the legs having one of said feet attached thereto, said feet being configured for gliding on the sheet of ice, each of said feet comprising a panel being bent about a tip of said bottom end and protruding upward towards said vertical center axis, said panel having a pair of end edges and each end edge being convexly arcuate;
- a closed loop being attached to each of said legs, said closed loop being positioned adjacent to the top ends of each of said legs, said closed loop being at an apex of the support and providing a graspable arca for the person, said closed loop having a circular shape, said closed loop being positioned between said inner and outer walls of each of said legs;
- and
- a brace being coupled to each of said legs to reinforce a position of said legs with respect to each other, said brace being spaced between said closed loop and said bottom ends of said legs, said brace being a continuous loop having a hexagon shape, said brace being positioned between said inner and outer walls of each of said legs;
- and
- a strap being removably attached to said support and being configured for inhibiting the person from falling on said sheet of ice, said strap having a first end and a second end, said first end having a coupler for removably securing to said inner wall of one of said legs, said coupler comprising a bolt and nut assembly, said second end having a buckle for removably fastening said second end around an exterior of said closed loop.
