IMPROVEMENTIN PARLOR-SKATES.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,567, dated May 16, 1876 application iiled April 28,1876.
Washington city, in the District ot' Columbia,
have invented certain Improvements in Parlor-Skates, of which the following is a specification: Y y
To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I herewith vsubinit'the following `description A skate constructed with rollers that cramp, by attaching or applying the same to the stock or foot-stand in such manner that said rollers will be turned, cramped,77 or adjusted so as to run the skate in a curved line to the right or left, by turning, rockin g, cautin g, or oscillating the stock orfoot-stand upon a jointed intermediate mechanism connecting the stock to the running-gear of the skate, is no part of my invention.
My invention consists, first, in the attachment of a heel-support pivotedto the stock or footstand ofa parlor-skate, and otherwise suitably connected toV the axle or gearing below, in such manner that a rocking or oscillating motion is` imparted to the heel-support by a slight pressure of the heel ofthe skaters boot to oneside or the other, thereby directing the rollers to run the skate in curved lines to the right or left, while the stock or foot-staud remains in its fixed lateral or horizon tal position parallel with the floor; also, securing to the rear axle a steering-bar, which is acted upon by a swinging standard suspended from the overlying heel-support, by which the rocking A motion imparted. to the latter causes the axle to be turned upon its center-pin and the skate directed in curved lines to the right or left, as already described; also, applying to the oscillating heel-support the requisite fastening to securethe heel ot' the boot thereon, thereby leaving the instep of the foot free to movelatex-ally on either side ot' the center line ot' the stock or footstand when running the skate in curved lines.
In the drawings, Figure l is a bottom-plan view of a skate embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the same. Fig. 3 is ,a rear view. Fig. 4 is a detached front View of the-oscillating heel-support. Fig.
Fig. 6 is a detached top view of the rear axle and steeringbar combined, and Fig. 7 'is a detached top View ot the front axle.
Inthis skate I construct the stock or footvstand I and the sockets I' by casting the saine in one piece of metal, the top of the foot-stand being pierced and made skeleton in' shape. The front axle A has its center-pin B formed upon its upper surface, which pin is fitted to operate in its corresponding socket formed upon the bottom of the foot-stand. The front rollers G are secured upon the axle-spindles F. The rear axle A has, in like manner, its center-pin B formed upon its upper surface, with the steering-bar D secured to the front side, in a position at right angles to the center-pin.
The center-pin is secured in its corresponding socket I', as clearly shown in Fig. 2. The oscillating heel-support P has a narrow rim, Q, raised upon its rear edge the better to support the heell ot' the boot, and also as a means to secure the leather fastening Effor the support ot' the heel and instep of the foot. To the front edge of the heel-support P is secured the swinging standard K, the lower end of which is forked. The prongs of this fork pass down over the steering-bar D, as seen in Figs. 1 and 2; or the swinging standard K may be shaped like D, and work in a slot formed in the steering-bar D. The heel-support P is pivoted to the stock I at M and M. The leather fastening R is riveted to the outside of the raised rim Q. The front and rear axles are connected by the diagonally-arranged equaliziug-bars H and H.
Supposing the skate to be in position on the foot ot' the skater, its operation is as follows, viz: The stock I andthe front part of the foot remain in their xed lateral or horizontal position, parallel with the door, while the heel, by a slight pressure, on one side or the other, upon the heel-support P, will depress that side,
and thus produce a rocking or oscillating motion on its pivoted centers M M. -By such motion the lower end of.V the swinging standard K will be swung in the opposite direction,
carrying with it the front end of the steeringbar D, thereby throwingthe hind axle into the position shown by the dotted line Z Z. In taking this position a corresponding motion is instantly transmitted to the front axle through the diagonally-arranged bars H H.
s l Y let/,56VA
The axles of the rollers thus take a position radial to the curve which it is desired the skate shoulc take.
I do not here claim the diagonal bars H and H', they forming the subject of another pending application ot' mille.
I have described the stock or foot-stand I as heilig cast, and as having the sockets I formed thereupon as part of the same.` But with a View of making the complete skate as Y light as possible, the stock may, by appropriate dies and drops, be punched out and struck up of sheet metal,and the sockets I riveted I claim- 1. In a parlor-skate, the rocking heel-plate P, in combination with the swinging axle A, and mechanism by which the oscillation of said heel-plate will turn said axle, substantially as and for the purpose set fort-h.
2. In a parlor-skate, the steering-bar D, incombination with the rear axle, the swinging standard K, and the oscillating heel-support P, substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.
3. In a parlor-skate, the oscillating heel-support P, in combination with a suitable fastening to secure it to the foot, substantially as herein set forth.
