Children's ice skates (6)

Fig.1: Gliding skates, 4th quarter XXth century
These gliders have double blades. Since there is little room between the blades these gliders are stable and yet can be skated with. They can be adjusted lengthwise.

Manufacturer: unknown
Mark: none

Technical data:
total length: 24 cm; height over ice: 2.4 cm;
platforms: 18-21 cm long, 6 cm wide;
runner blades: 13 mm tall, 2 mm thick;
weight: 213 g
 

Fig.2: Gliding skates, 4th quarter XXth century
These gliders have two blades. This enables gliding not skating. They can be adjusted for length. The blades run well beyond the heel and thus avoid uncontrolled falling backward.

Manufacturer: unknown
Mark: none

Technical data:
total length: 17-22 cm; height over ice: 2.5 cm;
platforms: 16-21 cm long, 5 cm wide;
runner blades: 23 mm tall, 1.5 mm thick;
weight: 190 g
 
Fig.3: Gliding skates, 4th quarter XXth century
 The principle of these gliders is the same as in figure 2 but here the room between the blades is filled with a piece of wood. This makes them suitable for gliding on snow rather than ice.

Manufacturer: unknown; probably Czech
Mark: detail 1

Technical data:
total length: 17-22 cm; height over ice: 2.5 cm;
platforms: 16-21 cm long, 5 cm wide;
runner blades: 23 mm tall, 1.5 mm thick;
weight: 294 g including straps 
Fig.4: Gliding skates, 3rd quarter XXth century
 These gliders have two blades that are 37 mm apart. This enables gliding but not skating. The blades do not run until the rear of the heel and therefore uncontrolled falling backward is not excluded. The gliders cannot be adjusted.

Manufacturer: unknown
Mark: none

Technical data:
total length: 20 cm; height over ice: 2 cm;
platforms: 18 cm long, 7 cm wide;
runner blades: 15 mm tall, 1.5 mm thick;
