A skate guard has a blade protector or guide bar (11, 111) and a support block (12, 112) slidable along the guide bar (11, 112) in a compatible longitudinal guide channel or channels provided in the guide bar. The toe end of the bar (11, 111) is provided, with a downwardly and rearwards facing clamp
A skate guard has a blade protector or guide bar (11, 111) and a support block (12, 112) slidable along the guide bar (11, 112) in a compatible longitudinal guide channel or channels provided in the guide bar. The toe end of the bar (11, 111) is provided, with a downwardly and rearwards facing clamping surface (28, 128) adapted to engage the upwardly and forwards facing edge (29) of a blade, while the block (12, 112) includes a downwardly and forwards facing clamping surface (36) which wedgingly urges the heel portion of the blade in the direction toward the guide bar. The force of a spring or springs (38, 141a, 141b) urging the block (12, 112) towards the toe portion maintains a firm engagement between generally flat and upwardly facing support portions (18, 118) and (21, 121) with the underside (19, 22, 119, 122) of the toe and heel plates, (20, 23, 120, 123) of the skate blade respectively. In a preferred embodiment, the support portions (118, 121) are provided with an anti-slip lining to improve the engagement of the guard with the toe and heel plates (120, 123). The structure of the guide bar (11) and the block (12) are so selected that--with the undersides (19, 22) resting firmly on the support portions (18, 21)--the runner edge (15) of the blade of the skate is devoid of any contact with the guide bar whereby even a slightest dulling of the runner edge (15) is prevented. At the same time, the skate guard can be conveniently and quickly attached to or detached from a blade. In a preferred embodiment, the outer step-on surface of the guide bar is provided with an anti-slip sticker (114) to improve safety of the guard for walking on wet floor or the like.

[ I claim:] [1.] A skate guard readily attachable to or detachable from a blade of a skate to enable walking, with the skate on, over a regular floor surface while protecting a runner edge of the blade of the skate, said skate guard comprising, in combination:(a) an elongated guide bar;(b) a first support portion projecting upwards from said guide bar and adapted to engage an underside portion of a toe plate of the blade,(c) a second support portion projecting upwards from said guide bar and adapted to engage an underside portion of a heel plate of the blade,(d) said support portions being arranged to suspend the blade of the skate such that the runner edge of the blade is generally devoid of a contact with the guard; and(e) a pair of skate clamping means secured to said guide bar one near each end of the bar and displaceable relative to each other in the direction of elongation of said guide bar, said clamping means being adapted to clamp therebetween a toe portion of the blade and a heel portion thereof so as to urge the blade in the direction toward said guide bar thus increasing the engagement force between said support portions and said underside portions.
