A blade insert assembly mounting of respective ice skating blading elements in a frame having a base securable to a sole of an in-line blading boot, downwardly depending webs defining a space occupied by spaced apart bosses defining zones for the frame, the webs being relieved centrally of the zones to provide arches, the blade insert assembly comprising:
- two parts, each part being securable in the zones and having formations for registration with the zones, when the parts are secured therein, and a slot for accommodating and securing one respective ice skating blade element thereto for mounting and securing, when the frame is secured to the sole, said in-line ice skating elements longitudinally spaced apart one behind another longitudinally along the sole;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism connecting to at least one said part and provided for a corresponding one of the blade elements, the adjustment mechanism enabling in use lateral adjustment of the corresponding blade element to ensure correct alignment with the other blade element, wherein each part, the blade elements, and the webs are provided with fixing holes and the adjustment mechanism is located within the fixing holes.
A frame for an in-line blading boot, the frame comprising:
- a base securable to a sole of an in-line blading boot,
- downwardly depending webs defining a space occupied by spaced apart bosses defining zones for the frame, the webs being relieved centrally of the zones to provide arches;
- and
- a blade insert assembly having:
- two parts, each part being securable in the zones and having formations for registration with the zones, when the parts are secured therein, and a slot for accommodating and securing one respective ice skating blade element thereto for mounting and securing, when the frame is secured to the sole, said in-line ice skating elements longitudinally spaced apart one behind another longitudinally along the sole;
- and
- an adjustment mechanism connecting to at least one said part and provided for a corresponding one of the blade elements, the adjustment mechanism enabling in use lateral adjustment of the corresponding blade element to ensure correct alignment with the other blade element, wherein each part, the blade elements, and the webs are provided with fixing holes and said adjustment mechanism is located within said fixing holes.
