Ice skate blade sharpener

A device for sharpening a longitudinal blade comprising:

• a housing having a first section and a second section, said first and second sections having engaging transverse ends, fastening means releasably coupling the first and second sections to hold the transverse ends in engagement with each other, the housing having an inner chamber extended into the first and second sections, said first and second sections having inner surfaces at opposite ends of the chamber, and a longitudinal slot open to the chamber for accommodating the blade, first means located in the chamber engageable with the blade for sharpening the blade, said first means having a member and abrasive means rotatably mounted on the member with the blade located in the slot to sharpen the blade, the member and abrasive means having ends engaging inner surfaces of the first and second sections to fix the longitudinal position of the first means and prevent longitudinal movement of the first means relative to the housing, second means associated with the member to fix the circumferential position of the member and prevent rotational movement of the member relative to the housing, and a groove extended into the housing whereby the abrasive means can be manually rotated relative to the member to position a selected portion of the abrasive means adjacent the slot.

A device for sharpening the blade of an ice skate comprising:

• body means having generally flat converging lower inside walls and a semi-cylindrical upper inside wall joined to the lower inside walls to provide a longitudinal chamber, said body means including laterally spaced longitudinal surfaces extended to the upper inside wall forming a slot open to the chamber to accommodate a blade of an ice skate, a cylindrical abrasive member located in said chamber engageable with longitudinal portions of the converging lower inside walls of the body means to center the abrasive member in said chamber and locate a longitudinal section of the abrasive member aligned with the slot, and means associated with the body means to retain the abrasive member in said chamber, and a groove in said body means open to the chamber whereby the abrasive member can be rotated relative to the body means.

A device for sharpening a blade of an ice skate comprising:

• a body having a first section and a second section, each section having an inside wall surrounding a chamber, a first end wall closing one end of the chamber, a second transverse end wall open to the chamber, and laterally spaced walls forming a slot open to the chamber for accommodating a blade of an ice skate, a cylindrical abrasive member located in the chamber of each section, connector means holding the second end walls of the sections together and retaining the abrasive member in the chambers, said abrasive member having opposite ends adjacent the first and second end walls to inhibit longitudinal movement of the abrasive member relative to the body and permit rotational movement of the abrasive member relative to the body and at least one of said sections having means to allow manual rotation of the abrasive member relative to the body.
