Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a braking device, particularly for skates with aligned wheels.
  • braking elements which are constituted by a pad, generally made of rubber, which is associated at the front part or at the rear part of the frame of the skate.
  • Braking is furthermore difficult to adjust.
  • skate with aligned wheels used predominantly by skiers for summer practice on roads, has two trucks which oscillate elastically with respect to a supporting frame, conventional braking device can not be applied to these skates.
  • One aim of the present invention is to eliminate the problems described above in conventional brakes by providing a device which allows to achieve optimum and easy stopping of a skate with aligned wheels.
  • an important object is to provide a device which also allows to reduce the skating speed.
  • Another object is to provide a device wherein the user can adjust the degree of braking of the skate beforehand.
  • Another object is to provide a device wherein the user can easily vary the braking action.
  • Still a further object is to provide a device which is simple, easy to industrialize, reliable and safe in use and has modest manufacturing costs.
  • a braking device particularly for skates with aligned wheels, comprising a frame to which at least one wheel supporting truck is pivoted and comprising elastic means interposed between said frame and said at least one wheel supporting truck, characterized in that it comprises braking means which interact with means for selectively adjusting said braking and are interposed between said frame and said at least one of said wheels and/or at least one supporting means for said wheels.
  • the braking device generally designated by the reference numeral 1, includes a frame 2 having a supporting surface 3 with which the sole 4 of an item of footwear 5 can be associated in a fixed or removable manner.
  • At least one pair of wings 6a and 6b protrudes on the side opposite to the supporting surface 3 of the frame 2; the wings are arranged parallel to one another and along the longitudinal axis of said frame 2.
  • first truck and of a second truck are oppositely pivoted to the pair of wings 6a and 6b and have a plurality of aligned wheels 13.
  • the first truck 7 and the second truck 8 are constituted by a first pair of bars 9a, 9b and by a second pair of bars 10a, 10b; each pair of bars is connected by a first cross-member 11 and by a second cross-member 12 respectively, and each one of said cross-members is arranged proximate to an end of the frame 2 and is interposed between two mutually adjacent wheels.
  • the plurality of aligned wheels 13 are freely pivoted transversely and rotatably both to the first truck 7 and to the second truck 8.
  • a first screw 16 and a second screw 17 are interposed at right angles, on the side opposite to the supporting surface 3 of the frame 2, between the front region 14 and the first cross-member 11 and between the rear region 15 and the second cross-member 12.
  • Elastically deformable elements such as a first spring 18 and a second spring 19, are arranged coaxially to said screws.
  • At least one seat 20 is defined on the frame 2, is arranged between the front region 14 and the rear region 15 and faces at least one of said wheels 13.
  • a pair of seats 20 is provided for a correct balancing of the braking device.
  • a braking means and a selective braking adjustment means are accommodated within each one of said pair of seats 20.
  • the braking means is constituted by a pad 22 which interacts with the adjacent and closely facing surface of a wheel 13, as shown in figure 1, and has, on the opposite side, an inclined surface 21.
  • the selective braking adjustment means is interposed between the pad 22 and the respective seat 20 and is constituted by a wedge member 23 which is interposed and interacts with the inclined surface 21 of the pad 22.
  • the wedge member 23 is provided with a threaded longitudinal seat for a complementarily threaded pivot 24 which also passes transversely through the frame 2 and has, at one end, a lever 25 which is articulated thereto and can be gripped by the user.
  • the use of the braking device 1 is as follows: if the user has to curve in order to change direction or slow down, he can reduce the steering speed or slow down his skating, or even stop, by distributing his weight on the frame.
  • the user can adjust the degree of braking beforehand, by means of the lever 25, which can be gripped by the user and actuates the rotation of the threaded pivot 24 and thus the selective positioning of the wedge member 23 which interacts with the adjacent surface of the pad 22.
  • the braking device thus conceived is susceptible to numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept.
  • figures 3 and 4 illustrate a different embodiment, wherein the braking device, generally designated by the reference numeral 101, is composed of a frame 102 on whose supporting surface 103 the sole 104 of an item of footwear 105 is associated.
  • a pair of wings 106a and 106b protrudes laterally and centrally on the side opposite to the supporting surface 103 of the frame 102.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the rear region 115 of the frame, where only the second truck 108 is visible; the ends of the truck are pivoted to the pair of wings 106a and 106b.
  • the second truck 108 is constituted by a second pair of bars 110a and 110b which are mutually connected by a second cross-member 112 which is arranged proximate to an end of the frame 102 and is interposed between two mutually adjacent wheels which belong to a plurality of aligned wheels 113.
  • the plurality of wheels 113 is freely transversely and rotatably pivoted on the second truck 108.
  • a second screw 117 is interposed at right angles between the heel region 115 and the second cross-member 112 on the side opposite to the supporting surface 103 of the frame 102.
  • An elastically deformable element such as a second spring 119, is arranged coaxially to said second screw.
  • the frame 102 there is at least one seat, and advantageously a pair of seats 120, which is arranged between the front region 114 and the rear region 115 and faces at least one of said wheels 113.
  • a braking means and a selective braking adjustment means are accommodated within the seat 120 defined at the rear region 115.
  • the braking means is constituted by a U-shaped pad 122 which has a pair of lateral wings 126a and 126b and by an inclined surface 121 on the side opposite to said lateral wings.
  • the free ends of the wings interact with the facing surfaces 127a and 127b of the means of one or more of the wheels 113.
  • the selective braking adjustment means is interposed between the pad 122 and the respective seat 120, and is constituted by a wedge member 123 which is interposed and interacts with the inclined surface 121 of the pad 122.
  • the wedge member 123 has a threaded longitudinal seat for a complementarily threaded pivot 124 which also passes transversely through the frame 102 and has, at one end, a lever 125 which is articulated thereto and can be gripped by the user.
  • a single truck pivoted to the frame may be provided for this second variation as well, the wheels of the second truck being supported directly by said frame.
