Abstract
A skate blade sharpening system includes a chassis having a slot for receiving a skate blade, and a skate blade retention mechanism for retaining the skate blade in a sharpening position. The skate blade retention mechanism includes an actuator and a pair of jaws on respective sides of the slot, the jaws being coupled to the actuator and configured for symmetrical opening and closing movements about a centerline of the skate blade. The jaws are secured to the chassis by guide blocks extending though corresponding guide slots of the jaws. The guide blocks have respective angled surfaces contacting corresponding angled surfaces of the jaws permitting the jaws to slide on the guide blocks when the jaws are open. The angled surfaces are oriented in a manner urging the jaws upward against a surface referenced to the chassis as the jaws are urged to a closed position by the actuator.
