Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a skate such as an in-line roller skate or an ice-skate.
  • Skates are known which are constituted by a shoe, for example produced by injection-molding plastics, which is associated with a frame for supporting wheels.
  • an engagement element such as a pin
  • a grip element which is constituted by a laminar element arranged below the sole of the shoe.
  • the shoe is locked with respect to the frame by means of an H-shaped rod to the rear of frame.
  • the H-shaped rod has ends which are transversely pivoted to the frame at one end and transversely pivoted, at the other end, to a lever which interacts with a suitable element which is associated with the shoe.
  • the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned technical problems of the above-cited prior art.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a skate which is structurally simple and accordingly more economic with respect to the cited prior art.
  • An important object is to provide a skate which allows to use shoes normally usable for walking and which at the same time has such properties to allow optimum transmission of forces from the shoe to the wheels or to an ice-skating blade together with high comfort for the user.
  • Another object is to provide a skate which is reliable and safe in use and can be manufactured with conventional machines and equipment.
  • a skate characterized in that it comprises at least a first frame portion and a second frame portion which are mutually articulated, each portion being provided with means for detachable connection to a soft shoe.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a skate assembly including a shoe 2 of the soft type, which is accordingly of the type that comprises a soft upper 3 below which a sole 4, made for example of nonrigid plastics or rubber, is associated.
  • the skate also comprises a frame 5 for supporting wheels 6 or one or more ice-skating blades (not illustrated in the drawings).
  • the frame is constituted by a first frame portion 7 which has a first substantially flat base 8 for supporting the toe region of the foot and the region of the sole of the shoe.
  • the first frame portion 7 is substantially shaped like an inverted U and forms first wings 9 between which two mutually in-line wheels 6 are pivoted.
  • connection means for temporary connection to the sole 4 of the shoe 2.
  • the connection means is constituted by a ring 10 which protrudes from the first base 8 and is arranged transversely thereto.
  • the tip 11 of the sole 4 interacts with the ring 10.
  • a seat for the ring is optionally provided in the tip.
  • the frame 5 also comprises a second frame portion 12 which is again substantially shaped like an inverted U which forms second wings 13 between which two wheels 6, for example, are pivoted and therefore also arranged mutually in-line.
  • a braking pad 14 may be associated with one end of the second frame portion 12.
  • the second frame portion 12 also has a second base 15 for supporting the heel region 16 and the plantar arch region 17 of the sole 4 of the shoe 2.
  • Two tabs 18 protrude from the second wings toward the tip 11.
  • the free end of the tabs is pivoted at the first base 8 and/or at the first wings 9 of the first frame portion 7 by means of a pivot 19.
  • Two arms 20a and 20b are associated at the second base 15, at the opposite end with respect to the tabs 18, and are adapted to pivot a lever 21.
  • a first end 22 of lever 21 is located at a perimetric lip 23 which protrudes to the rear of the sole 4.
  • a connecting member such as a band 25, for temporary connection to the upper 3, whose free ends can be mutually tightened at the foot instep region 26, is associated at the second free end 24 of the lever.
  • the frame adapts perfectly to the movements and flexing actions of the foot because of the hinge or fulcrum between the first frame portion and the second frame portion and thanks to the use of a soft shoe.
  • the user can thus walk without any problem and can start skating again by performing the above described sequence in reverse.
  • a semirigid or rigid sole, or a sole which otherwise cannot be compressed during thrusting can optionally be used by assuming that the pivot 19 for the mutual pivoting of the first frame portion and of the second frame portion is contained for example at a suitable slotted seat formed in the first frame portion and interacts in contrast with a flexible element which is suitable to compensate for the variation in the length of the chord between said ring 10 and said lever 21.
  • At least one elastic element 27 for mutually connecting the first frame portion and the second frame portion in order to avoid the free rotation of said frame portions if the shoe is not present and give greater stability to the frame.
  • the articulation between the first frame portion and the second frame portion allows optimum adaptation thereof to the movement of the foot throughout sports practice, also improving performance.
