PATENT OFFICE SKATE Application filed August 21, 1931.
The invention relates to skates and more particularly to the class of roller skates.
The primary object of the invention is the provision of a skate of this character wherein there is arranged a single roller at the toe end and a pair of wheels at the rear or heel end, the said roller and wheels being rubber tired and such rear wheels are controllable through braking mechanism whereby the speed of the skate can be reduced and also the latter brought to a standstill.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a skate of this character, wherein the construction thereof is novel in form and has in association therewith braking mech anism operable by the user of the skate at will, the assembly of the braking mechanism with the rear wheels of the skate being unique and also novel in form.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a skate of this character wherein the heel seat is yieldably suspended 1n a stirrup and the rear wheels of such skate carry mud guards or fenders so as to protect the user of the skate during the use thereof in inclement weather or passing over mud covered surfaces or water puddles.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a skate of this character which is extremely simple in construction,
thoroughly reliable and efficient in its purpose, neat and attractive in appearance, readily controllable by the user thereof, and inexpensive to manufacture.
lVith these and other objects in view, the
invention consists in the features of construction, combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described in detail, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which disclose the preferred embodiment of the invention, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.
In the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a skate constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a top plan view. Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view taken approximately on the line 33 of Figure 2.
Serial No. 558,566.
Figure 4 is a sectional view on the line 44= of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is an enlarged detail sectional view through the bearings of one of the rear wheels of the skate. 5
Figure 6 is a sectional view on the line 66 of Figure 3.
.Figure 7 is a detail perspective view of one of the parts of the brake assembly.
Similar reference characters indicate core0 responding parts throughout the several views in the drawings.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the skate comprises shoe sole and heel plates 10 and 11 respectively which are adjustably carried upon a connecting bar 12, the heel plate 11 being marginally rimmed as at 13 to provide a seat for the heel of the shoe of the user of the skate. The plates 10 and 11 are provided with adjustable straps 14: and 15 7 respectively for the securing of the skate upon the wearer.
Secured to the forward portion of the bar 12 beneath the same is a yieldable brace 16 which is suitably connected at its rear portion medially with a stirrup 17, while interposed between the bar 12 and said brace 16 beneath the heel plate 11 is an ellipticalshaped spring 18, the latter being disposed transversely with relation to the bar and brace.
At the front end of the skate is a rubber tired roller 19, the hanger 20 of which is rotatably secured to the bar 12 and brace 16 by a bolt 21 carrying a nut 22, the head 23 of said as bolt 21 being countersunk in the bar 12 to underlie the plate 10 and surrounding this bolt 21 is a coned ball bearing 24 and this roller 19 constitutes the guide or steering roller for the skate. 9c
The stirrup 17 is formed with outturned axles 25 on which are journaled rear wheels 26 having rubber tires 27 and in the hubs 28 of said wheels are bearing balls 29. The wheels 26 are formed with brake drums 3O 05 with each of which coacts an expansible brake band 31 for braking purposes. The band 31 has associated therewith coiled retractile springs 32 these serving to retract the band for freeing the wheel, said band being split and having at the confronting ends of said split abutments 33 between which is disposed a cam 34, there being one for each brake band, these are carried on a yoke 35 swingingly supported in mud or fender guards 86 overhanging the wheels 26 and made fast in this position with the stirrup 17.
On the swinging of the yoke 35 in one direction the cams 34: will be operated to expand the brake bands 31 against the brake drums and in this fashion the skate can be controlled as to the speed of travel thereof.
The yoke 35 has connected thereto a pull cable 37 which can be fastened to a belt of a person or engaged by the hand of such person so that the brake can be manually operated as will be obvious.
The skate is usable as an ordinary roller skate and the control of speed or travel thereof is effected through the cable 87 and the braking mechanism hereinbefore described.
What is claimed is In a skate having a front steering roller and a pair of rear Wheels, brake. mechanism connected to the rear wheels, a swinging yoke connected to the braking mechanism, manually operable pull means connected to the yoke, a stirrup arranged between the rear wheels, and a heel piece yieldably suspended in the stirrup.
In testimony whereof I afix my signature.
