Title: Skate blade

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to a skate blade which has anti-collision capacity and is lightweight and reinforced. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Ice skates are boots with skate blades attached to the bottom, used to propel the bearer across a sheet of ice while ice skating. However, the skate blades distort and destroy easily as being collided in ice hockey. 
     The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a skate blade which has anti-collision capacity and is lightweight and reinforced. 
     To obtain above-mentioned objective, a skate blade provided by the present invention contains: a base, a reinforcement piece, and a body. 
     The base includes a plurality of first protrusions formed on a top thereof, and a first recess is defined between any two adjacent first protrusions. 
     The reinforcement plate is made of stainless steel and includes a plurality of second protrusions formed on a bottom thereof, and a second recess is defined between any two adjacent second protrusions. 
     Each first protrusion of the base retains with each second recess of the reinforcement plate, and each first recess of the base retains with each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate. 
     The reinforcement plate also includes a plurality of through orifices, and each through orifice is defined on said each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate. 
     The body is injection molded from plastic material and is connected with the base and the reinforcement plate so that a part of the body inserts through the plurality of through orifices of the reinforcement plate.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
     Referring to  FIGS. 1 to 5 , a skate blade  1  according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises: a base  11 , a reinforcement piece  12 , and a body  13 . 
     The base  11  includes a plurality of first protrusions  111  formed on a top thereof, and a first recess is defined between any two adjacent first protrusions  11 . The reinforcement plate  12  is made of stainless steel and includes a plurality of second protrusions formed on a bottom thereof, and a second recess is defined between any two adjacent second protrusions, wherein each first protrusion  111  of the base  11  retains with each second recess of the reinforcement plate  12 , and each first recess of the base  11  retains with each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate  12 . The reinforcement plate  12  also includes a plurality of through orifices  121 , and each through orifice  121  is defined on said each second protrusion of the reinforcement plate  12 . The body  13  is injection molded from plastic material and is connected with the base  11  and the reinforcement plate  12  so that a part of the body  13  inserts through the plurality of through orifices  121  of the reinforcement plate  12 . In another embodiment, a carbon fiber cloth layer is covered on the base  11  and the reinforcement plate  12 , and a plurality of carbon fiber bars are inserted through the plurality of through orifices  121  and are hot pressed on the body  13 , such that the base  11  and the reinforcement plate  12  are connected with the body  13  securely, the skate blade  1  has anti-collision capacity by way of the reinforcement plate  12 , and the body  13  is lightweight and reinforced. 
     While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been set forth for the purpose of disclosure, modifications of the disclosed embodiments of the invention as well as other embodiments thereof may occur to those skilled in the art. The scope of the claims should not be limited by the preferred embodiments set forth in the examples, but should be given the broadest interpretation consistent with the description as a whole.
