摘要

A roller skate is equipped with three or four wheels arranged in one line on the carrier which is joined to the shoe. Each wheel is cushioned independently with a spring system including at least two compression springs. A front wheel can be provided with two springs the longitudinal axes of which are oriented in the extent between the horizontal and vertical directions with the bottom ends of the springs being placed in front of the top ends of the springs or under them. Other wheels may be equipped with four springs having the longitudinal axes of the spring oriented vertically. At least two wheels can be provided with a braking system including clips with brake pads on both sides. The roller skate may be used and maintained on a specially configured assembling stand.
