Patent attributes
The present invention relates to an ice-skate blade edge squareness verification device comprising an indicator element with a plurality of squareness indicia on its face and a verification element removably mounted across a skate blade's edges for verification of squareness of those edges in conjunction with the squareness indicia of the indicator element. The indicator element includes a mounting means comprising a magnet for removably mounting this element onto an ice-skate's blade such that the squareness indicia are perpendicular to the blade's side. The mounting means have a configuration allowing the indicator element to be easily placed and removed from the blade while the blade is held inside a sliding carriage provided to hold an ice-skate during sharpening. The mounting means also allows for continuous visual verification of squareness of a blade edge substantially along the entire length of the blade.
