1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the sport of in-line skating.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
In-line skating has become a popular sport as it brings the features of skating away from the ice surface to make it suitable for southern climates. In-line skaters are commonly seen taking to the streets or paved parking lots. It follows that the chances of injuries during in-line skating are substantially greater than with ice skating.
Beginners are known to be somewhat frightened by the prospect of falling. Stopping during ice skating is relatively easy and simply involves turning the skates sideways relative to the direction of travel and applying a braking force to the blade edge in contact with the ice. On the other hand, the in-line skater must orient one in-line skate so that a resilient bumper, located on the one end of each in-line skate, engages the ground surface. Both beginners and experts find this braking action particularly difficult and ineffective, particularly when skating at high speeds.
There remains the need for a device to improve the control of in-line skates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly stated, the invention involves a device for in-line skating, comprising elongate frame means including a frame member arranged to extend between the legs of an in-line skating participant with one end of the frame member adjacent a ground surface and another end positioned to be held in at least one hand of the participant;
the frame means including bumper means at one end of the frame member for engaging with a ground surface to brake the motion of the participant; and the frame means further including undercarriage means at one end of the frame member for providing the participant with rollable support along the ground surface.
In another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an assembly for transporting in-line skating equipment, comprising:
a pair of in-line skates; and a device for in-line skating, the device comprising an elongate frame means including a frame member arranged to extend between the legs of an in-line skating participant with one end of the frame member adjacent a ground surface and another end positioned to be held in at least one hand of the participant; the frame means including bumper means at one end of the frame member for engaging with a ground surface to brake the motion of the participant; and the frame means further including undercarriage means at one end of the frame member for providing the participant with rollable support along the ground surface; the device further comprising removable anchor means secured to the frame means for removably anchoring the in-line skates thereto.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Referring to figure 1, there is provided a device 10 for in-line skating, comprising an elongate frame means in the form of a frame member 12 which is arranged to extend between the legs of an in-line skating participant with one end of the frame member 12a adjacent a ground surface and another end 12b positioned to be held in at least one hand of the participant.
The frame means includes bumper means 14 at one end of the frame member for engaging with a ground surface to brake the motion of the participant. The frame means also includes undercarriage means 16 at one end of the frame member for - providing the participant with rollable support along the ground surface.
In the device 10, the bumper means and the undercarriage means are positioned on opposite ends of the frame member, while in other embodiments as will be shown, the bumper means and the undercarriage means are positioned on the same end of the frame member.
The frame member 12 is length extensible so as to be adjusted according to the particular needs of the participant.
The frame has two tubular frame portions 18, 20 which are telescopingly engaged with one another and held in position by a spring loaded button 22 extending through aligned passages 24 in the frame portions. In addition, the bumper means includes a bumper element 26 attached to the remote end of the support portion and includes an insert portion 26a for being inserted in the frame member, as shown in figure la.
The device 10 is further provided with a cushion as shown 25 to support the buttocks of the participant. In this case, the cushion 25 may be a foam material such that used in diving wet-suits such as neoprene. Referring to figure lc, the cushion 25 is secured to the frame portion 18 by fastener 25a and has a number of passages 25b formed therein to align with the passages 24. In this manner, the frame portions may be extended by moving the frame portion 20 relative to the lower portion 18 and the cushion 25 while the cushion 25 also provides access to the spring loaded button 22.
The undercarriage means includes at least one wheel 28 and a support portion 30 for supporting the wheel so as to roll along the ground surface when oriented between the legs of the participant.
Referring to figures 1 and lb, a removable anchor means is also secured to the frame means for removably anchoring a pair of in-line skates thereto. This is provided by way of a strap 29 which is secured to the frame portion 18 by way of fastener 29a. This allows the device 10 to be used to carry the in-line skates to and from the skating location with greater convenience, simply by weaving the strap through an appropriate anchor point on the in-line skates such as the buckles shown at 29b. In addition, the strap 29 may be wrapped around the frame portion 18 as shown in figure ld when not in use to provide a handle for gripping the device. While the device 10 and in-line skates may be sold separately, the removable anchor means may be used to secure a pair of in-line skates to the device and which together can be packaged as assembly for transporting in-line skating equipment in a convenient manner.
In use, the in-line skating participant is instructed to adjust the length of the frame member by adjusting the position of the upper frame portion relative to the lower frame portion. Next, the participant, with in-line skates secure, grips one end of one frame portion with the opposite end of the other frame portion adjacent the ground surface.
For example, the participant might choose the bumper to be adjacent the ground surface so that the participant can use the device in the manner of a cane or crutch. As his confidence improves, the participant may wish to invert the frame member so that the caster is rolling along the ground surface. The participant may find it helpful to orient the device between his legs in a similar way to a child riding a broom. In this case, the participant can grip the bumper end of the device with one or both hands and, in effect, sit on the central region of the frame member on the cushion 25 while pushing with his feet and with the wheel taking his weight.
The wheel may have a fixed axis of rotation or be castered to allow the wheel to swivel. Alternatively, several wheels may be castered either in-line with one another or side by side for improved support and balance, as will be described.
The bumper may be cylindrical in shape as presented in figure 1 or be spherical as shown at 27 in figure le. In this case, the spherical bumper 27 is provided with a resilient skin 27a which is fastened onto the bumper by way of a hook and loop fastening strap 27b for example that sold under the tradename VELCRO. Alternatively, the skin may be sufficiently resilient so that it is preshaped to be stretched over the bumper 27 and therefore replaceable. This also allows the skin to be colour coordinated, if desired, with the cushion perhaps even with the in-line skates. The bumper may be rubber or some other resilient material and alternatively may simply be a steel end piece again on the remote end of the upper frame portion.
Referring to figure 2, there is provided-another device 30 for in-line skating, comprising an elongate frame means in the form of a frame member 32 which is arranged to extend between the legs of an in-line skating participant with one end 32a of the frame member adjacent a ground surface and another end 32b positioned to be held in at least one hand of the participant.
The frame member is length extensible so as to be adjusted according to the particular needs of the participant.
The frame has two tubular frame portions 34, 36 which are telescopingly engaged with one another and held in position by a spring loaded button 38 extending through aligned passages 216038g 40 in both frame portions.
Referring to figure 2a, the frame member further includes seating means located midway on the frame member so as to support the buttocks of the participant. In this case, the seating means includes a seating formation 42 which is fastened to the mid section of the frame member so as to provide support to the buttocks against the pressure exerted thereon by the frame member when held in position. Referring to figure 2b, the seating formation is a molded structure with an outer shell 42a having a contoured upper seating surface as shown at 42b and a cylindrical flange 42c to form a collar to slide along the frame member.
Referring to figure 2, the frame means includes bumper means at one end of the frame member for engaging with a ground surface to brake the motion of the participant. The frame means also includes undercarriage means at one end of the frame member for providing the participant with rollable support along the ground surface. In this case, the bumper means includes a bumper element 44 mounted on the support means for movement between an inoperative position and an operative position.
Referring again to figure 2, the frame member includes at one end a handle bar portion 46 with a brake lever assembly 48 mounted thereon for transferring the braking element between the inoperative and operative positions.
As can be seen in figure 3, the handle bar portion may include a cross bar portion 50 if desired, so that the participant can grip the handle bar in much the same way that a bicycle rider grips the handle bar thereof, that is for additional balance and stability.
As can be seen in figure 4, the undercarriage may, if desired, be provided with a front brake 52 located upstream of S the wheels and a rear brake 54 located downstream of the wheels, as can be seen in figure 4 wherein the undercarriage includes a plurality of wheels mounted on the support member.
If desired, the wheels may instead be mounted side by side or a combination of in-line and side by side as shown in figure 5.
While the embodiments described above are segmented to provide for length adjustment, it should be borne in mind that the frame member may be a single size so that several sizes can be provided, for example a shorter version for children and a longer version for adults. The appropriate size of caster wheel may also vary between the shorter and longer versions.
While the above embodiments have been described in the context of teaching a beginner to in-line skate, it should be borne in mind that the device may also be useful for experts to allow them greater control as they in-line skate at higher speeds. The device may also be suited to those participants interested in developing stunts while in-line skating since the device does provide an increased degree of stability.
In-line skating has become a popular sport as it brings the features of skating away from the ice surface to make it suitable for southern climates.
