SHOCK ABSORBENT IN-LINE ROLLER SKATE

摘要

This invention is directed to in-line roller skates. More particularly, this invention pertains to shock absorbent in-line roller skates wherein the wheels are resilient mounted to navigate over rough, bumpy surfaces. An in-line roller skate comprising: (a) a boot with a heel and toe adapted to receive a foot of a skater; (b) a first wheel supporting rail means secured to an underside of the boot and extending from the heel to the toe; (c) a second wheel supporting rail means secured to an underside of the boot, and extending from the heel to the toe adjacent and generally parallel to the first rail means; (d) a plurality of wheel means mounted in tandem in a line between the first and second rail means, the wheel means being respectively connected to the first and second rail means by respective axle means and bearing means; and (e) a plurality of resilient shock absorbing means located between the respective axle means and bearing means and the rail means to enable the respective wheel means to move under force individually upwardly or downwardly relative to the first and second rail means.
