ABSTRACT:
Artificial ice skating rink assemblies that can used indoors or outdoors, in all seasons, that can be readily assembled with a reduced number of assembly parts and accessories being required, and it can be used with reduced maintenance demands. In one embodiment of this invention, there is an artificial ice skating rink consisting of a plurality of panel means for providing an ice skating surface, in which each panel means has an elongate channel disposed therein having longitudinal and transverse axes. Elongate spline means are provided for slideable insertion into a channel in a lateral direction along the transverse axis of that channel, and for slideable receipt of another channel of another panel means which is forced in a lateral direction into slideable engagement with the spline. In this way, separate panel means are retained together exclusively by the spline means against relative motion along the transverse axes of their respective channels. The inventive skating rink assemblies are devoid of laminations and can contain relatively high levels of lubricant in the panel components to enhance the low-friction surface for skating. Also, as the skating rink assemblies are devoid of wood components, the assembly is well-suited for outdoor implementations where exposed to the elements throughout the year.
