Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rollschuh der im Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 genannten Art.The invention relates to a roller skate referred to in the preamble of claim 1. Art.

Rollschuhe mit vier paarweise angeordneten Laufrollen sowie mehreren hintereinander in Reihe angeordneten Laufrollen, sogenannte Inliner, und Mischformen sind bekannt.Roller skates with four pairs of rollers and several successively arranged in series rollers, so-called inliners, and mixed forms are known.

Am bekanntesten sind die Vier-Rad-Rollschuhe, welche im Allgemeinen mit vier oft relativ breiten, meist zylindrischen Laufrollen gleichen Durchmessers ausgerüstet sind. Beim Laufen werden derartige Rollschuhe in der Regel möglichst horizontal mit allen vier Laufrollen gleichzeitig auf die Fahrbahn gesetzt.The best known are the four-wheel roller skates, which are generally equipped with four often relatively wide, mostly cylindrical rollers of the same diameter. When running such roller skates are usually placed as horizontally as possible with all four rollers simultaneously on the road.

Die Schuhe dieser Vier-Rad-Rollschuhe, welche begrenzt lenkbare Vorder- und Hinterrollen besitzen, sind im Hackenbereich vergleichsweise niedrig, so dass der Benutzer seine Beine jeweils im Bereich oberhalb des Fußgelenkes nach beiden Seiten abwinkeln kann. Damit ist es durch Schrägstellung der Beine möglich, die begrenzt lenkbaren Vorder- und Hinterrollen der Vier-Rad-Rollschuhe zu steuern. Eine Schräglage der Rollschuhe ist jedoch nicht oder nicht ohne Weiteres möglich.The shoes of these four-wheel skates, which have limited steerable front and rear rollers, are comparatively low in the heel area, so that the user can bend his legs in each case in the area above the ankle on both sides. This makes it possible by tilting the legs to control the limited steerable front and rear wheels of four-wheel skates. An inclination of the roller skates is not or not readily possible.

Aus US 5,551 713 ist ein Rollschuh bekannt, bei welchem nur die hinteren beiden Rollen wie bei den Vier-Rad-Rollschuhen nebeneinander, die beiden vorderen Rollen dagegen wie bei den Inlinern mittig und in Reihe angeordnet sind. Die hinteren weit auseinander liegenden und an der Schuhaußenseite gelegenen Rollen sind begrenzt lenkbar. Auch dieser Rollschuh muss beim Laufen möglichst horizontal auf die Fahrbahn, also nicht in Schräglage wie bei den üblichen Inlinern, gesetzt werden. Die Lenkung der beiden hinteren Rollen ist wegen der vorderen in Reihe angeordneten, jedoch starren Laufrollen schwierig, so dass eine korrekte Kurvenfahrt kaum möglich ist.Out US 5,551,713 is a roller skate known in which only the rear two rollers as in the four-wheeled roller skates side by side, the two front rollers, however, as in the inliners are arranged centrally and in series. The rear widely spaced and located on the outside of the shoe rollers are limited steerable. Also this roller skate has to when running as horizontal as possible on the road, so not in an inclined position as in the usual inliners are set. The steering of the two rear rollers is difficult because of the front arranged in series, but rigid rollers, so that a correct cornering is hardly possible.

Etwas einfacher ist die Lenkung der in den 50-er Jahren auf den Markt gebrachten dreirädrigen Rollschuhe, der sogenannten holländischen Rollschuhe, welche ein sehr groß bemessenes Laufrad vor dem Schuh und zwei gleichfalls große, jedoch seitlich des Schuhs angeordnete, die Schuhsohle nach oben überragende Laufrollen aufweisen. Jedoch auch dieser Schuh sollte möglichst horizontal, also nicht in Schräglage, auf die Fahrbahn gesetzt werden.Slightly simpler is the steering of the introduced in the 50-ies on the market three-wheeled skates, the so-called Dutch roller skates, which a very large sized impeller in front of the shoe and two equally large, but laterally of the shoe arranged, the shoe sole upstanding roles exhibit. However, even this shoe should be as horizontal as possible, so not in an inclined position, placed on the road.

Aus US 6,722 670 B1 ist eine andere Gestaltung eines Rollschuhs bekannt, welcher jeweils drei auf einer vorderen und hinteren Radachse nebeneinander angeordnete Laufrollen aufweist, nämlich eine mittige, etwa zylindrische Rolle sowie zwei außen gelegene konisch ausgebildete Laufrollen. Diese konischen Laufrollen sollen bis zu einer bestimmten Neigung eine Schräglage ermöglichen und seitliches Wegrutschen verhindern. Bei normaler Fahrt z.B. über gerade Strecken haben jedoch nur die beiden mittleren, zylindrischen Rollen Bodenkontakt, während die äußeren konischen Rollen, deren Durchmesser kleiner ist als der Durchmesser der mittleren Laufrollen, die Fahrbahn nicht berühren. Nur unter einem bestimmten Neigungswinkel liegt der Rollschuh mit jeweils vier Rollen auf der Fahrbahnoberfläche auf, wobei Kurvenfahrten kaum möglich sind. Bei geringerem Neigungswinkel verhält sich dieser Rollschuh dagegen wie der bekannte Inliner.Out US Pat. No. 6,722,670 B1 another design of a roller skate is known, which in each case has three on a front and rear wheel axle juxtaposed rollers, namely a central, approximately cylindrical roller and two outwardly tapered rollers. These conical rollers are to allow up to a certain inclination skew and prevent lateral slipping. However, during normal travel, eg over straight stretches, only the two middle, cylindrical rollers contact the ground, while the outer conical rollers, whose diameter is smaller than the diameter of the middle castors, do not touch the road. Only at a certain angle of inclination is the roller skate with four rollers on the road surface on which cornering is hardly possible. At a lower angle of inclination, this skate behaves like the well-known inliner.

Die heute sehr gebräuchlichen Inliner sind mit mittig unter der Schuhsohle befindlichen und in Reihe hintereinander senkrecht angeordneten Laufrädern ausgestattet.The today very common inliners are equipped with centrally located under the shoe sole and in series behind one another vertically arranged wheels.

In jüngerer Zeit ist ein zweirädriger Inliner mit übergroßen, schräg stehenden Laufrädern auf den Markt gekommen, wie er aus US 5,951 028 , US 6,723 437 B1 und US 6,443 464 B2 bekannt ist. Die Schrägstellung der Laufrollen gestattet bei gutem Bodenkontakt extreme Schräglagen des Benutzers sowie die Verwendung größerer Laufrollen, da diese seitlich den Stiefel des Rollschuhes überragen können.More recently, a two-wheeled inliner with oversized, sloping wheels has come on the market as he out US 5,951,028 . US 6,723,437 B1 and US 6,443,464 B2 is known. The inclination of the rollers allows for good contact with the ground extreme inclinations of the user and the use of larger rollers, as they can extend beyond the boot of the skate laterally.

Schließlich ist aus WO 02/068070 A1 eine Sonderform eines Inliners mit einem Stiefel bekannt, an dessen Sohle ein Rahmen mit zwei oder mehreren in Laufrichtung hintereinander unterhalb des Stiefels angeordneten Inline-Laufrollen sowie mit wenigstens einer seitlich versetzten Laufrolle vorgesehen ist. Diese dritte Laufrolle, die auf der Schuhinnenseite gelenkig und über einen Federarm federnd mit dem Rahmen verbunden ist, soll nur beim Abstoßen, also wenn der Fuß in die Abstossschräglage gelangt, kurzzeitig mit der Laufbahn in Bodenkontakt gelangen.Finally is off WO 02/068070 A1 a special form of an inliner with a boot known on the sole a frame with two or more in the direction behind the other below the boot arranged inline rollers and at least one laterally offset roller is provided. This third roller, which is articulated on the inside of the shoe and connected resiliently to the frame by means of a spring arm, is intended to come into contact with the track for a short time only when it is pushed off, that is to say when the foot reaches the anti-jackknifing position.

Charakteristisch für alle Inliner ist jedoch, dass deren in Reihe liegenden Laufrollen ausschließlich Linienkontakt haben, so dass das Fahren mit diesen Inlinern ein nicht unerhebliches Maß an Geschicklichkeit, Kraft und ein gutes Gleichgewichtsgefühl erfordert.Characteristic of all inliners, however, is that their in-line casters have only line contact, so that driving with these inliners requires a significant amount of skill, strength and a good sense of balance.

So ist festzustellen, dass, obwohl inzwischen viele Millionen dieser Inliner in den vergangenen Jahren an Sportler aller Altersgruppen verkauft wurden, vermutlich wegen dieser Problematik ein Großteil dieser Inliner nicht oder nicht mehr in Benutzung ist. Für den Anfänger ist es schon schwierig, auf diesen Inlinern Balance zu halten, da er ständig Querbewegungen ausgleichen muss. Diese ungewohnte Belastung strapaziert die ungeübten Füße, Fußgelenke, Fußmuskeln und Sehnen des Benutzers in sehr starkem Maße.Thus, although many millions of these inliners have been sold in recent years to athletes of all ages, probably because of this problem a large part of these inliners are not or no longer in use is. For the beginner, it is already difficult to balance on these inliners, as he constantly has to compensate for transversal movements. This unfamiliar burden greatly strains the inexperienced feet, ankles, foot muscles and tendons of the user.

So hat es sich gezeigt, dass eine befriedigende Benutzung dieser Inliner nur solchen Personen gelingt, die zum einen gut trainiert sind und zum anderen ein gutes technisches Verständnis oder Gefühl für den Bewegungsablauf mit Inlinern besitzen.So it has been shown that a satisfactory use of this inliner succeed only those people who are well trained for a well on the other hand, have a good technical understanding or feeling for the movement with inliners.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese bekannten Inliner so zu gestalten, dass die physische Belastung der Benutzer herabgesetzt wird, ein besserer Fahrkomfort und vor allem wesentlich mehr Fahrsicherheit geboten wird, so dass diese Rollschuhe auch für wenig geübte und begabte Benutzer besser geeignet sind.The present invention has for its object to make these known inliners so that the physical load of the user is reduced, a better ride comfort and above all much more driving safety is offered, so that these roller skates are also better suited for less experienced and talented users ,

Die Erfindung geht hierbei von einem grundsätzlich aus US 6,070,885 bekannten Rollschuh aus, welcher zwei in Laufrichtung hintereinander, allerdings versetzt zueinander angeordnete kleinere Inlinelaufrollen von jeweils neben diesen im Bereich der Schuhaußenseite vorgesehene größere Außenlaufrollen aufweist.The invention is based on a principle US 6,070,885 known skate, which has two in the direction of succession, but offset from one another arranged smaller inline rollers of each next to these provided in the shoe outer side larger outer rollers.

Eine derartige Rollschuhausbildung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Art ist jedoch nicht geeignet, die oben beschriebenen Nachteile zu vermeiden und die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe zu lösen.However, such a rolling shoe formation mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 is not suitable to avoid the disadvantages described above and to solve the problem underlying the invention.

Vielmehr wird diese Aufgabe gemäß vorliegender Erfindung mit einem Rollschuh gelöst, welcher die im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale besitzt.Rather, this object is achieved according to the present invention with a roller skate, which has the features specified in claim 1.

Nach dem erfindungsgemäßen Vorschlag sind bei dem im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 genannten Rollschuh die Inlinelaufrollen derart am Rahmen gelagert, dass ihre Laufflächen von der Laufbahn bei parallel zur Laufbahn gelegener Sohle beabstandet sind und der Rollschuh derart gegenüber der Laufbahn neigbar ist, dass beim Stehen oder Fahren alle Rollen und beim Abstoßen und Beschleunigen kurzzeitig nur die Inlinelaufrollen Bodenkontakt haben. Im Stand und beim Fahren dienen damit die Außenlaufrollen als Stütze, wodurch die so unangenehmen und anstrengenden seitlichen Kippbewegungen vermieden werden, während beim Abstoßen und Beschleunigen die Inline-Laufrollen wie bei einem reinen Inliner in Bodenkontakt kommen.According to the proposal according to the invention in the roller skate mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, the inline casters are mounted on the frame so that their treads are spaced from the track parallel to the track located sole and the skate is so tilted relative to the track that when standing or driving all roles and when repelling and accelerating briefly only the inline reels have ground contact. When standing and when driving the outer rollers serve as a support, whereby the unpleasant and strenuous lateral tilting movements are avoided, while repelling and accelerating the inline rollers come as in a pure inliner in contact with the ground.

Dadurch, dass der Durchmesser der Außenlaufrollen größer als der Durchmesser der Inline-Laufrollen ist, wird das Überfahren von Hindernissen in der Fahrbahn erleichtert. Hierzu trägt der Vorschlag nach Anspruch 2 bei, nach welchem die Achsen der Außenlaufrollen in Fahrtrichtung vor den Achsen der Inline-Laufrollen gelegen sind.The fact that the diameter of the outer rollers is greater than the diameter of the inline rollers, the passing of obstacles in the roadway is facilitated. Contributes to this, the proposal according to claim 2, according to which the axes of the outer rollers are located in the direction of travel in front of the axes of the inline rollers.

Auch die Vorschläge nach den weiteren Unteransprüchen 3, 4 und 5 führen zu einer Verbesserung des Fahrkomforts.The proposals according to the further subclaims 3, 4 and 5 lead to an improvement in ride comfort.

Soll der Rollschuh mit sehr schmalen Außenlaufrollen bei großem Abstand seiner in der Nabe angeordneten Lager ausgestattet werden, empfiehlt sich die Konstruktion gemäß Anspruch 6, bei welcher das innen gelegene Wälzlager in einem nach innen vorspringenden Nabenring angeordnet ist.If the skate is to be equipped with very narrow outer rollers at a large distance of its arranged in the hub bearing, the construction is recommended according to claim 6, wherein the inner bearing is arranged in an inwardly projecting hub ring.

Als vorteilhaft hat es sich erwiesen, wenn, wie mit Anspruch 7 vorgeschlagen, die in Fahrtrichtung verlaufende Längsachse der Inline-Laufrollen gegenüber der parallelen, mittigen Stiefelsohlenlängsachse nach innen versetzt ist. Bei dieser Rollenanordnung ist es für die Benutzer relativ einfach, aus der Vierrollen-Position in die Inline-Laufrollenposition überzugehen.It has proven to be advantageous if, as proposed in claim 7, extending in the direction of travel longitudinal axis of the inline rollers is offset relative to the parallel, central longitudinal boot sole axis inward. In this role arrangement It is relatively easy for users to move from the four-roller position to the in-line roller position.

Die Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispieles, das in den Zeichnungen dargestellt ist, im Einzelnen erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to a preferred embodiment, which is illustrated in the drawings, in detail.

Die Erfindung ist anhand des rechten Rollschuhes eines Rollschuhpaares, der in verschiedenen Positionen in den Figuren 1 bis 5 dargestellt ist, erläutert.The invention is based on the right skate of a roller skate pair, which in different positions in the FIGS. 1 to 5 is illustrated explained.

Der Rollschuh besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Stiefel 10, an dessen Stiefelsohle 11 der als Rollentragelement dienende Rahmen 20 mit den Rollen 30 und 40 befestigt ist. Der nicht dargestellte linke Rollschuh ist spiegelbildlich aufgebaut. Die größer dimensionierten Laufrollen 30 stehen bei dieser Darstellung senkrecht auf der Laufbahn H-H. Sie befinden sich stets auf der Außenseite des Rollschuhs. Die kleiner dimensionierten Laufrollen 40, die sich ähnlich wie bei Inlinern unterhalb des Stiefels 10 befinden und darum nachstehend als Inline-Laufrollen bezeichnet sind, halten bei der in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten Position einen Abstand a von der Oberfläche der Laufbahn H-H ein.The skate consists essentially of a boot 10, on the sole of the boot 11 serving as a roller carrying element frame 20 is secured with the rollers 30 and 40. The left skate, not shown, is constructed in mirror image. The larger sized rollers 30 are in this representation perpendicular to the track HH. You are always on the outside of the roller skate. The smaller sized rollers 40, which are similar to inliners below the boot 10 and therefore hereinafter referred to as inline rollers, keep in the in the FIGS. 1 and 2 shown position a distance a from the surface of the track HH a.

Bei dem in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die hintere äußere Laufrolle 30 größer und breiter dimensioniert als die vordere.In the in the FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrated embodiment, the rear outer roller 30 is larger and wider in dimension than the front.

Der aus Aluminium-Spritzguss, Kunststoff-Spritzguss oder aus geschweißtem Stahl bestehende Rahmen 20 weist an seiner Unterseite Radgabeln 23 auf, welche die Rollenachsen 22 für die Inline-Laufrollen 40 tragen. Wie Figur 1 erkennen lässt, sind die Inlinerollenachsen 22 gegenüber den Achsen 21 für die äußeren Laufrollen 30 um den Betrag b in Fahrtrichtung nach hinten versetzt. Dieser Versatz und die Dimensionierung der Laufrollen 30 und 40 erleichtern das Überfahren von Bodenunebenheiten auf der Laufbahn H-H.The consisting of aluminum injection molding, plastic injection molding or welded steel frame 20 has on its underside wheel forks 23, which carry the roller axles 22 for the inline rollers 40. As FIG. 1 can be seen, the inline roller axles 22 are offset from the axes 21 for the outer rollers 30 by the amount b in the direction of travel to the rear. This offset and the dimensioning of the rollers 30 and 40 facilitate driving over bumps on the track HH.

Auf in eine Achsaufnahme 20a des Rahmens 20 eingesetzte und seitlich abstehende Achsen 21 sind die mit Wälzlagern 32 ausgestatteten äußeren Laufrollen 30 gelagert. Zur Verstärkung ist die Laufrolle 30 im Bereich des inneren Wälzlagers 32 mit einem nach innen vorspringenden Nabenring 33 ausgestattet.On inserted into an axle 20a of the frame 20 and laterally projecting axes 21 equipped with bearings 32 outer rollers 30 are mounted. For reinforcement, the roller 30 is equipped in the region of the inner roller bearing 32 with an inwardly projecting hub ring 33.

Wie die Aufsicht in Figur 3 erkennen lässt, sind die äußeren Laufrollen 30 auf einer parallel zur Stiefellängsachse K-L verlaufenden Linie O-P gelegen. Die Inline-Laufrollen 40 sind auf einer parallel zur Stiefellängsachse K-L verlaufenden Linie M-N gelegen, die gegenüber der Achse K-L um den Abstand c seitlich versetzt ist.Like the supervision in FIG. 3 can recognize the outer rollers 30 on a parallel to the longitudinal axis of the boot KL extending line OP. The inline rollers 40 are located on a line MN extending parallel to the longitudinal axis of the boot KL, which is laterally offset from the axis KL by the distance c.

Folgende Dimensionierungen haben sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen: Durchmesser der hinteren äußeren Laufrolle 30: 150 mm Durchmesser der vorderen äußeren Laufrolle 30: 140 mm Durchmesser der hinteren Inline-Laufrolle 40: 90 mm Durchmesser der vorderen Inline-Laufrolle 40: 80 mm Bodenabstand a: 4 mm Achsenversatz b: 10 mm Abstand der Längsachse M-N der Inline-Laufrollen von der Stiefelsohlenlängsachse K-L: c: = 10 mm. The following dimensions have proved to be advantageous: Diameter of the rear outer roller 30: 150 mm Diameter of the front outer roller 30: 140 mm Diameter of the rear inline roller 40: 90 mm Diameter of the front inline roller 40: 80 mm ground clearance a: 4 mm axis offset b: 10 mm Distance of the longitudinal axis MN of the inline rollers from the longitudinal axis of the boot sole KL: c: = 10 mm.

Die Laufflächen 31 der äußeren Laufrollen 30 bzw. die Laufflächen 41 der Inline-Laufrollen 40 sind vorzugsweise ballig ausgebildet.The running surfaces 31 of the outer rollers 30 and the running surfaces 41 of the inline rollers 40 are preferably formed crowned.

Die oben erläuterte Dimensionierung gestattet eine Positionierung des Rollschuhs für komfortables Stehen bzw. Fahren, wie sie mit Figur 4 veranschaulicht ist. In dieser Position ist der Rollschuh gegenüber der Laufbahn H-H um etwa 3 bis 4° geneigt, so dass die Inline-Laufrolle 40 gegenüber der Laufbahn H-H einen Winkel von α = 86° bis 87° einnimmt. Gerade für ungeübte Anfänger ist diese Position sowohl im Stehen als auch im Fahren komfortabel und weniger anstrengend und vermittelt ein Gefühl der Sicherheit, da alle vier Rollen Bodenkontakt haben. Da die Füße des Benutzers durch diese vier Rollen unterstützt sind, ermüden sie selbst bei nachlässiger Verschnallung im Stiefel 10 nicht.The above-described sizing allows positioning of the skate for comfortable standing or driving, as with FIG. 4 is illustrated. In this position, the skate is inclined relative to the track HH by about 3 to 4 °, so that the inline roller 40 with respect to the track HH an angle of α = 86 ° to 87 ° occupies. Especially for inexperienced beginners, this position is comfortable and less strenuous both when standing and driving and gives a sense of security, since all four wheels have contact with the ground. Since the feet of the user are supported by these four roles, they do not tire even with negligent buckling in the boot 10.

Der Anfänger wird zunächst vorsichtig aus dieser Position wie mit einem bekannten Vierrad-Rollschuh anfahren.The beginner will first cautiously approach from this position as with a well-known four-wheeled roller skate.

Aus der in Figur 4 gezeigten Position heraus wird er nach einiger Übung in die in Figur 5 dargestellte Position übergehen, in welcher der Rollschuh, insbesondere beim Abstoßen und Beschleunigen, kurzzeitig wie ein Inliner auf den Inline-Laufrollen 40 gefahren wird. Hierbei heben sich die äußeren Laufrollen 30 von der Laufbahn H-H um den Abstand d ab, wobei die Neigung der Laufrollen 40 auf einen kleineren Winkel β reduziert wird.From the in FIG. 4 After being trained in this position, he will enter the in FIG. 5 shown position in which the roller skate, especially when repelling and accelerating, is briefly driven as an inliner on the inline rollers 40. Here, the outer rollers 30 stand out from the track HH by the distance d, wherein the inclination of the rollers 40 is reduced to a smaller angle β.

Nach dieser Abstoß- und Beschleunigungsphase kann der erfindungsgemäße Rollschuh wie ein konventioneller Vierrad-Rollschuh auf allen vier Rollen 30 und 40 gefahren werden, wodurch die Füße des Benutzers wesentlich entlastet werden.After this repulsion and acceleration phase of the roller skate according to the invention can be driven on all four rollers 30 and 40 like a conventional four-wheel skate, whereby the feet of the user are substantially relieved.

Der Übergang aus der in Figur 4 dargestellten Position in die Position gemäß Figur 5 gestaltet sich einfach und ohne größeren Kraftaufwand, was durch die Ausgangsneigung α, die Dimensionierung der Rollen und durch den nur geringen Versatz C der Inline-Laufrollen 40 gegenüber der Stiefelsohlenlängsachse K-L begünstigt wird.The transition from the in FIG. 4 position shown in the position according to FIG. 5 designed simply and without much effort, which is favored by the initial inclination α, the dimensioning of the rollers and the only small offset C of the inline rollers 40 relative to the boot sole longitudinal axis KL.

Die Dimensionierung und Positionierung der äußeren Laufrollen 30 erleichtert, wie oben bereits erwähnt, das Überfahren von Hindernissen, wie z.B. Querrinnen oder querliegende Bodenwellen, in der Laufbahn. So wird in solchen Fällen zunächst die vorn gelegene Laufrolle das Hindernis überfahren, wobei der Rahmen 20 angehoben wird, so dass die kleinere vorn gelegene Inline-Laufrolle 40 mit der Laufbahn nicht oder nur streifend in Kontakt kommt. Das Gleiche gilt für das Überfahren des Hindernisses mit den hinteren Laufrollen.The dimensioning and positioning of the outer rollers 30 facilitates, as already mentioned above, the driving over obstacles, such as transverse grooves or transverse bumps, in the raceway. Thus, in such cases, the front roller is first passed over the obstacle, the frame 20 being raised, so that the smaller front inline roller 40 does not or only grazing with the track comes into contact. The same applies to crossing the obstacle with the rear wheels.

Der erfindungsgemäße Rollschuh bietet somit mehr Fahrsicherheit, Fahrkomfort und Fahrvergnügen als die bekannten Rollschuhe und Inliner.The skate according to the invention thus offers more driving safety, ride comfort and driving pleasure than the known roller skates and inliners.

Wegen der besseren Verteilung des Körpergewichtes auf die vier Rollen und wegen der stabilen Auflage der vier Rollen auf dem Boden beim Fahren oder in Steh- und Ruhephasen erfordert der Rollschuh darüber hinaus weniger Kraftaufwand.Because of the better distribution of body weight on the four rollers and because of the stable support of the four wheels on the ground when driving or in standing and resting phases of the skate also requires less effort.

Somit ist dieser Rollschuh insbesondere für Anfänger sowie für weniger geübte Sportler besser geeignet als die herkömmlichen Inliner.Thus, this roller skate is better suited for beginners as well as for less experienced athletes than the conventional inliner.
