J. MUCKi ROLLER'SKATE. APPLICATION FILED NOV-17.71919.
Patented July 4, 1922;
DEL-
JOHN MUCK, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN.
ROLLER, SKATE.
Application filed November 17, 1919.
T at? whom it may concern.
Be it known that I, JOHN Moon, a citizen of the United States, and resident of the city of Milwaukee, county of Milwaukee, and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Roller Skates; and I do declare that the following is a full,
. clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable persons skilled in the art to which the invention relates to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings for certain details of construction and operation.
My invention relates to roller skates.
My invention resides in a roller skate provided with a plurality of rollers, some of which are mounted in spring supported bearings which are adapted to yield when the skater passes over uneven places, and is thereby relieved from the shocks which otherwise would occur.
The skate is also provided with a brake, which by frictional engagement with the roadway will act as a drag and enable the skater to come to a halt when desired.
In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation showing the skate with one shoe of the wearer in position. In this view, one of the yieldingly mounted rollers is omitted so as to show the manner in which the rollers are mounted in their spring supports.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the skate showing the relative arrangement of the rollers.
Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawings, the plate upon which the foot of the skater rests is indicated by A, the skate being attached to the shoe by means of a single strap a which is passed through eyes a, near the toe end of the skate, and after being crossed over the arch of the foot is passed about hooks a The ends of the strap may be secured by means of a buckle or other convenient fastening devices.
At the toe of the skate, a roller B is journaled in bearings, which are formed from flanged pieces I), attached to the under side of the plate A.
Two, rollers C, one at each side of the skate are mounted upon an axle a, which aXle is supported in a notch 0' formed at the bend of an angularly arranged strip of spring metal 0 which at its forward end is attached to the plate A. Near its rear end and under the heel of the skater, a slot 9 is Specification of Letters fatent.
Patented July a, 1922.
Serial no. assess formed in the strip 0 to receive the pin 0 in the plate A, so as to permit movement when the strip 0 is flexed. At its outer rear end, the said strip 0 is curved as at 0 and the free end thereof is inturned as at 0 The curved portion 0 will act as a brake when the skate is tilted on the wheels G, whereby the skater is enabled to bring himself to a stop when desired.
An elastic ring formed from a flat strip of spring metal is attached to the under side of the plate A, and rests with its lower periphery upon the axle 0. By compressing the ring d, under the weight of the skater an increased cushioning effect for the rollers C is provided.
The rollers of the skate will be mounted upon ball bearings E, as indicated in Fig. 2.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A roller skate comprising a plate for the reception of the foot, a pair of wheels one at each side of the said plate, an axle upon which the said wheels are mounted, and yielding bearings for supporting the axle, the said yielding bearings comprising a spring strip attached at its forward end and slidably engaging the foot plate of the skate at the other.
2. A roller skate comprising a plate for the reception of the foot, a pair of wheels one at each side of the said plate, an axle upon which the said wheels are mounted, yielding bearings for supporting the axle, and an elastic ring secured to the plate, and resting at its outer periphery upon the axle between the wheels.
3. A roller skate comprising a plate for the reception of the foot, a pair of wheels one at each side of the said plate, an axle upon which the said wheels are mounted, yielding bearings for supporting the axle, the said yielding bearings comprising a spring attached at its forward end and slidably engaging the foot plate of the skate at the other, and a flexible brake formed as a part of the said spring and projecting at the rear of the skate for engagement with the roadway.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name at Milwaukee this 8th day of November, 1919.
JOHN MUCK.
