An in-line roller skate including a frame (14), a plurality of wheels (12), a plurality of frame plugs (16, 18), a plurality of axles (22), and means for securing the axles (24) is disclosed. The frame has a first rail and a second rail, the first and second rails having a plurality of coaxial frame apertures (20). At least two of the frame apertures have at least three sides. Each of the plurality of wheels has bearings (56) with inner races (58) and outer races. The frame plugs have lugs (44) with a shape that nonrotatably engages within the frame apertures. The plugs also have eccentric plug apertures (48, 50) extending through them such that each plug has at least three positions of engagement with the frame apertures. This arrangement provides the plug apertures with at least three different possible locations relative to said frame in which to be positioned. This construction of the axle assemblies (10), as described, allows ease of assembly of the skate wheels into a multitude of configurations (61-66). The present disclosure also covers methods of installing wheels on an in-line roller skate into various rockering and horizontal configurations. |
