Patent number: 11266197Abstract: A face shield, such as a visor, mounts to a protective helmet using a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly has a base, a spacer assembly, and a pair of posts. The base is disposed on the interior of the helmet. The posts are connected to the base and extend outwardly into corresponding holes that are formed in the side of the helmet. The spacer assembly spaces the face shield away from the exterior surface of the helmet, and receives a mechanical fastener that releasably attaches the face shield to the helmet.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Inventor: Wally Wayne Tatomir

Patent number: 10406647Abstract: A skate sharpening system comprises an adjustor assembly and a skate holder assembly. A runner is releasably coupled to a template runner, and then clamped into the skate holder assembly. The template runner defines a pre-defined profile for the blank runner. An operator moves the skate holder assembly such that the template runner moves along a guide bearing of the adjustor assembly. The guide bearing is disposed proximate a grinding wheel. While the template runner remains in contact with the adjustable guide bearing, the runner remains in contact with, and moves along, the grinding wheel such that the grinding wheel simultaneously sharpens and contours the runner.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2017Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Inventor: Wally Wayne Tatomir

Patent number: 9681698Abstract: A face shield, such as a visor, mounts to a protective helmet using a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly has a base, a spacer assembly, and a pair of posts. The base is disposed on the interior of the helmet. The posts are connected to the base and extend outwardly through holes that are formed in the side of the helmet. The spacer assembly slides over the posts when the posts are inserted through the corresponding holes in the helmet, and frictionally engages the outer surfaces of the first and second posts such that the helmet is disposed between the base and the spacer assembly. The posts threadingly receive corresponding fasteners that attach the face shield to the helmet.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Inventor: Wally Wayne Tatomir

Publication number: 20160095391Abstract: A tool for shaping an ice skate boot includes a ram member and a corresponding receiver member. The ram member is placed against a selected area of a first surface of the ice skate boot that causes a user discomfort, and is pressed against the selected area so as to flatten or shape the selected area. The receiver member, which includes a cavity and a rim, is placed against an opposing second surface of the boot. One or more arcuate notches formed in the rim of the receiver member receive a part of the second surface of the ice skate boot when the ram member presses against the first surface of the ice skate boot.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2014Publication date: April 7, 2016Inventor: Wally Wayne Tatomir

Patent number: 8235399Abstract: An ice skate blade for an ice skate is sized to fit into a holder attached to the sole of the ice skate. The ice skate blade has a pair of tabs that extend into the holder to secure the blade to the holder. A first tab includes a through hole that receives a mechanical fastener that secures the blade to the holder. The second tab includes a lock that contacts the interior of the holder to prevent the skate blade from moving within the holder.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2010Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Inventor: Wally Wayne Tatomir

Patent number: 8033551Abstract: A skate blade has a front curved section having a front balance point, a rear curved section having a rear balance point, and a middle section having a center balance point. Each balance point is a point on the skate blade over which a skater's center of gravity lies depending on the skater's position. The skate blade is shaped such that the middle section is substantially flat. Additionally, the blade is shaped such that more of the blade extends away from a blade holder at the rear balance point than at the front balance point.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Inventor: Wally Wayne Tatomir
