Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a roller skate comprising a chassis fitted with castors and a shoe removably attached to the chassis in four non-aligned points, by hooking and locking so as to ensure a stable connection between the shoe and the chassis, locking ensured automatically by deformation of an organ elastic when fitting the wheeled chassis.
  • the sole of the shoe is provided a metal plate with two front panels holes in the shape of keyholes coming to hang on two skid tenons and, at the back, a hole bayonet in which an organ engages rotary with one actuating arm and two horizontal bars coming to rest on two ramps so as to press the heel of the shoe against the metal plate of the skate.
  • This skate has no locking means, the fixing being maintained by friction.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a fixing automatic simple, robust, very stable, free of playable and easy to open to release the shoe.
  • the roller skate according to the invention is characterized in that hooking and automatic locking are provided by at least one hooking element and lock subject to the action of at least one means elastic return in the locked position and in this that the skate includes an unlocking means consisting of a release lever articulated at the back of the chassis and acting on the element hooking and locking against the action of the elastic means so as to release the shoe.
  • the attachment and the locking takes place simultaneously with the four hooking points by a hooking element and locking common to the four points.
  • the unlocking lever preferably acts directly on the attachment element and locking.
  • the unlocking lever is preferably articulated at the rear of the chassis around a horizontal axis transverse to the chassis. According to an embodiment, when the shoe is separated from the chassis, the lever is held in a substantially vertical position by the hooking and locking element, such so it can be used as a handle when fitting the wheels.
  • the chassis has, at the four points hooking, V-shaped notches in which engage horizontal bars or studs of the shoe.
  • the attachment element and locking common to the four attachment points, has beaks coming to engage on the bars or hold by inclined sides so as to press them at the bottom of the V-shaped notches.
  • These inclined sides have additionally to make up for backlash due to wear notches and / or bars or tenons.
  • Automatic snapping can be done simply tilting the upper sides inclined hooking spouts so that the beaks move apart under the pressure of the bars or let's hold on.
  • This mode of execution requires relatively pressing strongly the foot on the chassis for the footwear, to overcome the force of the return spring. According to a other mode of execution, this pressure can be greatly reduced by using a retaining trigger the latching and locking element in position unlocked, this trigger being positioned relatively to the level of the bottom of the V-notches of the chassis so as to be actuated by tenons or bars of the shoe when putting on.
  • This trigger can be achieved in different ways.
  • a single spring ensures the times the trigger and element recall hooking and locking.
  • the release lever can also be used as a handle for handling the chassis during footwear and as an auxiliary means of lateral support the shoe, in particular a collar fitted the shoe.
  • Figure 1 is an axial sectional view, along a plane vertical symmetry of the chassis, of a roller skate online equipped with his shoe, according to a first mode of execution.
  • Figure 2 is a partial sectional view along II-II chassis and sole of the shoe.
  • Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1, but without the shoe.
  • Figure 4 is a partial view, in section analogous to FIG. 2, of a first variant of execution of the first mode of execution.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of a variant execution of the attachment element and locking.
  • Figure 6 is a sectional view of a first variant of the attachment bar.
  • Figure 7 is a sectional view of a second variant hooking studs.
  • Figure 8 shows, in axial section, a second mode of execution, trigger, in position unlocked, in a first fitting position.
  • Figure 9 shows the second embodiment in a position immediately preceding release of the trigger.
  • FIG. 10 represents the second embodiment in locked position.
  • Figure 11 shows, in axial section, a third execution mode, trigger, unlocked position, in a first fitting position.
  • Figure 12 shows the third embodiment in a position immediately preceding release of the hooking element.
  • Figure 13 shows the third embodiment in the locked position.
  • FIG. 14 is a partial view, in axial section, of a fourth embodiment, with trigger, in unlocked position, before putting on.
  • Figure 15 shows this fourth embodiment after hooking and locking the front of the shoe.
  • Figure 16 shows this fourth embodiment after hooking and locking the rear part.
  • the complete skate shown in Figure 1 includes a shoe 1 removably mounted on a chassis 2 fitted of four rollers in line 3.
  • the chassis 2 has two parallel plates 2a and 2b between which are mounted the rollers 3. These plates are braced.
  • a chassis can be made, for example, by means of an extruded profile in aluminum.
  • the upper edges of the plates 2a and 2b have four V-shaped notches 4, 5, 6, 7 arranged in pairs opposite one another, as shown in Figure 2.
  • the notch 7 is located in the alignment of the notch 5 in figure 2.
  • the chassis further includes a hooking and lock 8 articulated at an intermediate point in the chassis 2 around an axis 9 transverse to the chassis, and mounted with play, i.e. perpendicular to plates 2a and 2b.
  • the element hooking and locking 8 which we will call thereafter the lock for simplification, consists of two parallel metal plates cutouts 8a and 8b connected by a spacer 10 of so as to present a substantially overall width equal to the space separating plates 2a and 2b from frame. This distance is preferably about 30 mm.
  • the connection between the spacer 10 and the plate 8a and 8b presents a clearance, so that the plates can move slightly longitudinally one compared to each other.
  • the lock 8 has, at the front, a pair of nozzles 12 and, in its rear part, a pair of spouts 11 for hooking and locking the shoe as this will be described later.
  • Each of these mouthpieces has a relatively steep upper side 13 towards the back of the skate (about 45 °) and one side lower 14 slightly tilted towards the front skating.
  • the axis 9 passes through the latch 8 through a slot 15, more precisely two aligned, oriented lights longitudinally and allowing the latch 8 to be move longitudinally relative to the chassis 2.
  • the pin 9 is connected to the spacer 10 by a spring traction 16 pulling the lock 8 towards the rear of the skate.
  • the latch 8 presents a second set of lights 17 crossed, with a large clearance, by a pin 18 fixed transversely in the chassis 2. This axis 18 and the light 17 guide the lock 8, but with sufficient vertical clearance so as not to interfere with fixing shoe, as will be described later, as well as to allow catching up of the game from to wear.
  • the chassis 2 is further provided, at the rear, with a release lever 19 articulated on the chassis about a horizontal axis 20 oriented transversely to the chassis.
  • Axis 20 is surrounded by a horn spring flush 21 urging the lever 19 to rotate in the clockwise, i.e. towards the front of the skate.
  • the unlocking lever 19 pushes the lock 8 towards the front of the skate when the lever 19 is tilted rearward.
  • Shoe 1 is provided with a flexible sole 22 in synthetic material for easy walking.
  • This sole 22 has a central recess 23 extending over the entire length of chassis 2 and the bottom of which is of width at least equal to the overall width of the chassis 2.
  • the sole 22 is molded on two inserts, such as the insert 29 visible in FIG. 2, in hard and resistant plastic.
  • two U-shaped metal arches 24 and 25 are anchored, the horizontal part 24a, respectively 25a, constitutes a fixing bar to the chassis.
  • the lower edges of the inserts 29 and the bars are set back from the bottom surface of the sole 22 so as not to come into contact with the ground when walking.
  • Inserts 29 are located at the fixing points. So they don't reduce practically no flexibility of the sole when market.
  • the distance between the inserts 29 is, from preferably greater than 8 cm so as to ensure good fixation stability.
  • lever 19 is advantageously folded over the chassis.
  • the lever 19 is raised, for putting on, in the position shown in Figure 3.
  • the lock 8, pulled by its spring 16, is then in abutment against the axis 9.
  • the lever 19, biased by its spring 21, is in abutment against the rear end of the latch 8.and it is advantageously used as a handle to hold skate.
  • To put on the skate just put the foot on chassis 2, so that the bars 24a and 25a can engage in the notches 4 to 7.
  • the bars 24a and 25a come to bear on the inclined sides 13 of the spouts 11 and 12 of the lock.
  • the lock 8 could, of course, be constituted a solid monobloc piece, made of metal or material synthetic injected.
  • the attachment of the bars 24a and 25a of the shoe can be done at four points, as in the example shown, the points being in reality of short section of the bars, or on any the length of the part of the bars located at inside the chassis. In all cases, the connection between shoe and chassis has the shape of a quadrilateral ensuring good lateral stability of the shoe on the chassis.
  • the positioning and lateral support of the shoe on the chassis is provided by the profile trapezoidal inserts 29 whose oblique sides come to rest on the chamfered edges 30 of the chassis 2.
  • the plates parallels 8a and 8b constituting the lock are located outside the chassis, against the outside faces walls 2a and 2b of the chassis.
  • plates 2a and 2b are connected by a spacer 10 which this time crosses the walls 2a and 2b of the chassis through two lights allowing the moving the lock.
  • the plates 8a and 8b are in further guided by shoulders 31 extending over a at least part of the length of the chassis.
  • the fastening pieces integral with the shoe are made of metal parts in the shape of C 32 embedded in the inserts 29.
  • the two ends of the piece 32 form two studs 33, 34 which engage in notches 4 to 7 on the chassis and in the lock. These let's stick 33 and 34 do not or very little protrude to inside the chassis, so that a space is found free for casters or for housing a brake.
  • the guidance of the plates 8a and 8b of the lock could also be insured, on the one hand, from below, by spans formed on the chassis, and, on the other hand, by a single pair of projections or studs integral with the chassis and cooperating with lock lights.
  • Figure 5 shows an execution of the lock in one single part 35.
  • This part is, for example, formed by cutting and folding a metal sheet, so as to form two parallel side walls 35a and 35b corresponding to plates 8a and 8b of the first embodiment, these plates 35a and 35b being connected by a bridge 35c in their middle part, the lock 35 resting on the chassis by this bridge 35c, preferably slightly domed towards the chassis and around a axis transverse to the chassis, so as to constitute a tilting surface on the chassis for the catching up of differential clearances.
  • part 35 therefore has a U-shaped section overturned by which the bolt straddles the frame.
  • a bar or fixing pins could be obtained by pieces of different shapes.
  • the bar 36a is consisting of the lower bar of an I-piece 36 embedded in insert 29.
  • tenons 37a and 37b are formed by the ends of a hard plastic part 37 embedded by overmolding in the sole 22. In this case, insert and bar are confused.
  • chassis 2 and unlocking lever 19 have been identified by the same reference numbers that in the first mode of execution despite the differences in form that can be seen. Likewise for V notches 4 and 6.
  • This embodiment also includes an element hooking and locking common to all four attachment points.
  • This hooking element is consisting of two parallel bars 40 which will be the continuation designated by the term lock to simplify.
  • This lock 40 is mounted to slide longitudinally in chassis 2, in which it is guided between, on the one hand, two spacers 41 and 42 of the chassis and, on the other hand, three sleepers 43, 44, 49 of the same frame.
  • the lock 40 is provided with two hooks 45 and 46 intended to retain and lock the studs 24a and 25a of the shoe.
  • the rear end of the latch 40 is articulated to the unlocking lever 19 around an axis 47 crossing the chassis 2 through a pair of longitudinal lights such as the light 48 allowing axis 47 to move longitudinally on the chassis.
  • a trigger 51 provided at its end with a hook 52 by which it hangs on the crosspiece 43.
  • the trigger 51 is provided with a stud 53 located just above axis 50.
  • a spring 54 working in traction, the other end of which is attached to the chassis at point 55.
  • the spring 54 exerts on the trigger 51 a relatively low torque but quite sufficient to keep the trigger in the hooked position on the cross 43. This same spring 54 tends to pull the latch 40 forwards with great force. This lock is however retained by the trigger 51 itself retained by the crosspiece 43.
  • lever 19 is driven by its axis 47 in the light 48, but before reaching the end of the road in this light, the lower end 19a of the lever unlocking 19 comes into abutment against the cross-member 49, so that the lever 19 is pulled towards the front and that it comes to rest, with a certain pressure, against the back of the shoe.
  • lever 19 can engage in a housing on the back of the shoe.
  • lever 19 To release the shoe, simply exert a pull back on lever 19, in the direction of the arrow, figure 10.
  • the lever 19 rests on the crosses 49 and pulls back the latch 40 with its trigger 51 which again clings to 43 as shown in figure 8.
  • lever 19 In the bare position ( Figure 8), the lever 19 can be folded down on the chassis.
  • the third embodiment shown in Figures 11 at 13 does essentially differ from the second mode of execution than by the realization of the trigger.
  • the parties having the same function as in the second mode of execution have been designated by the same numbers of references despite possible small differences in form.
  • This is in particular the case of latch 40.
  • This latch 40 is guided in the same way as in the second embodiment and it is connected to lever 19 identically.
  • Spring 54 is hooked directly to the lock 40 at a point 56.
  • the trigger here consists of a ratchet 57 in piano wire embedded in the chassis at a point 58 and resting on a crossmember 59. In the unlocked position shown in Figure 11, this pawl 57 is bent elastically down and engaged in a notch 60 of latch 40, so that it retains this latch 40 which is pulled forward by the spring 54.
  • Figure 11 again shows the first phase of shoe in which the tenons before 25a, 25b of the shoe are engaged in the front V-shaped notches of the frame.
  • the pin 24a meets the pawl 57, as shown in figure 12.
  • Arrived at bottom of the notch the post 24a has grown back enough the pawl 57 so that it escapes from the notch 60 of lock 40.
  • This lock 40 can then advance under the effect of the spring 54 ', as shown in the figure 13.
  • this mode of execution is analogous to second mode of execution.
  • the pawl 57 slides on the lock 40 to come to commit to new in notch 60.
  • the notch 60 could be replaced by a simple shoulder against which the pawl would lean 57.
  • the third embodiment shown in Figures 14 to 16 differs from previous modes of execution by the presence of hooking and locking elements or separate locks for fixing the front studs and rear studs on the shoe.
  • Lock 61 is r-shaped articulated on the chassis around a axis 63 and the upper part of which forms a beak 64.
  • This lock has a lateral stud 65 engaging in a notch 66 of a trigger 68 constituting a lever of the first kind presenting, in its point support, a cylindrical cutout 69 by which lever rests on a cylindrical boss 76 of the chassis 2 which serves as a pivot.
  • Trigger 68 has a short lever arm 70 on which rests a spring 71 working in compression between the arm 70 and the latch 61 and now the trigger 68 in support against the pad 65.
  • the pad 65 of the lock is engaged in the notch 66 of the trigger, the lock 61 is retained against the action of the spring 71.
  • Unlocking is ensured by lever 19 by via a cable 73, one end of which is fixed in 74 to the rear lock 61, which passes over a pulley 75 of the front lock 62 to return in direction lever 19 to which it is fixed by its other end.
