Abstract

See full text

A blade holder tool for inserting a loose skate blade into a sharpener unit for sharpening includes blade-engaging features that engage blade retention features of the skate blade, and a spacing component providing user-controlled variable spacing of the blade-engaging features to hold skate blades across a range of sizes. The tool may include an elongated tool body having a bottom portion configured to receive the skate blade, the tool body supporting the blade-engaging features and spacing component. The blade-engaging features may include a pair of biased-closed housing members engaging the retention features of the skate blade, and a separate tool body may not be required. A spring or elastic member is connected between housing members to bias closed the blade-engaging features. Mechanical and/or graphical features may be used for positioning and orienting the skate blade to the blade holder tool, and/or the blade holder tool to the sharpener unit.
