Method and device for measuring squareness of ice skate blades

Abstract

An ice skate blade squaring device comprises a squaring body which is removably mountable to an ice skate blade. The squaring body includes a standard squaring line across one face thereof. Arranged on each end of the squaring line are sets of graduations which are utilized in determining the out of squareness of the skate blade. An angle is provided which is magnetically attachable to the skate blade. The angle is designed to abut against the face of the squaring body having the squaring indica thereon. Once the angle is abutted to the squaring frame, a visual determination of the intersection of a free edge of the angle with the squaring indicia permits a simple and accurate determination of the out of squareness of the ice skate blade. In another embodiment, a squaring body includes an arm pivotally mounted thereto. The arm supports a dial indicator which assists in determining the squareness of the skate blade. The squaring body and arm maintain a dial indicator parallel to the skate blade side surface to assure accuracy in determining out of squareness.
