  • Patent number: 5167170
    Abstract: A bag member includes a central cavity, with the central cavity including a right and left cavity flap removably mounted to a first side wall of the bag exposing an ice skate receiving cavity. Each ice skate receiving cavity includes an ice skate support member, wherein the ice skate support member includes a "V" shaped groove for receiving an ice skate blade, with the "V" shaped groove including a sharpening stone positioned at an entrance of the groove to effect sharpening, as well as support, of the ice skate when positioned within the bag structure. A modification of the invention includes fluid reservoirs directing a lubricant fluid into the groove and associated ice skate blade to retard corrosion and promote longevity of the ice skate blade. Further, an indicator is utilized for illustrating proper positioning of each ice skate within each "V" shaped groove.
