INTEGRATED DEVICE FOR ISOLATING THE WHEELS OF A SHOE FROM THE GROUND

摘要

The invention relates to an integrated device for isolating the wheels of a shoe from the ground. The invention involves moving a mass of material from a high position to a low position so as to create a sufficient thickness to raise the wheels and isolate them from the ground and, inversely, moving a mass of material from a low position to a high position so as to eliminate the thickness created by said mass of material and so that the wheels can come into contact with the ground again. The device comprises a movable mass of material (4) which is integrated into the sole of the shoe (1). When the user moves said mass of material from the high position to the low position, the mass of material comes into contact with the ground and the thickness of said material isolates the wheels (3) from the ground. The axle (2) is never acted upon. The mass of material is held in place, for example, by a pin (5) which is inserted in a housing (7). In this way, the shoe can be switched from the skating position to the walking position.
