Abstract: A hose end lever controlled ball valve spigot incorporating a quarter turn lever actuated ball valve having a valve housing with a 90° inlet which protrudes 180° away from the valve actuating lever so that the lever handle of the valve is exposed in a vertical plane for easy access and operation. An outlet spout is secured to the valve housing at the valve outlet and extends at an approximate angle of 45° from the valve housing in the same direction as the actuating lever.

Abstract: An ice skate runner which may be removeably secured to a blade holder which forms part of an ice skate blade assembly. The runner is formed as a thin replaceable flexible strip arranged to be secured to said holder, The top surface of the strip has a configuration which is complementary to the lower surface of the holder so as to prevent lateral displacement of the strip with respect to the holder. Attachments are provided in the front and rear of said holder to hold the strip in place and to create tension along the entire length thereof.

Abstract: An ice skate blade assembly which has a blade holder to which an ice skate runner is removeably secured; the runner may be preshaped and may be disposable. The runner is formed as a thin replaceable flexible strip arranged to be secured to the holder. Attachment elements are provided in the front and the rear of the holder to hold the strip in place and to create tension along the (entire) length thereof. The rear attachment element is adapted so that a hook pivotally engages a hook attachment element so as to hold the runner in place, tension being applied by a nut engaging a threaded portion of the hook attachment element.
