Abstract
A roller skate includes a sole plate holding two wheel holders and a stop holder in front and rear receiving chambers in an outsole, two wheel assemblies respectively pivoted to the wheel holders and turned between an extended position extended out of the outsole for skating and a received position received inside the outsole for enabling the roller skate to function as a normal shoe for walking, lock control means adapted to lock the wheel assemblies between the extended position and the received position, and a stop alternatively set in a stop holder at the back side of one wheel holder between the working position and the non-working position.
Description
- The present invention relates to roller skates and, more particularly, to a roller skate with receivable roller design in which the rollers can be received inside the outsole of the boot, enabling the boot to work as a regular shoe for walking.
- Various roller skates have been disclosed, and have appeared on the market. There is known a roller skate that can be set between two modes, namely, the skating mode and the walking mode. This structure of roller skate, as shown in FIG. 1, comprises a shoe body, roller means7 mounted in the outsole of the shoe body and alternatively set between the extended position and the received position. The receiving chamber 8 of the outsole for receiving the roller means 7 is an open chamber in which dust and mud tend to be accumulated. Further high-strength spring means is provided at the
pivot shaft 71 of the roller means 7 to hold the roller means 7 in position. When changing the roller means 7 from the received position to the extended position, much effort should be employed. Further, this structure of roller skate has no brake means for stopping the roller skate from running. - It is one object of the present invention to provide a roller skate, which can be set between the skating mode and the walking mode. It is another object of the present invention to provide a roller skate, which keeps the outsole from dust when set in the walking mode. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a roller skate, which can easily conveniently be set between the skating mode and the walking mode. According to the present invention, the roller skate comprises a sole plate holding two wheel holders and a stop holder in front and rear receiving chambers in an outsole, two wheel assemblies respectively pivoted to the wheel holders and turned between an extended position extended out of the outsole for skating and a received position received inside the outsole for enabling the roller skate to function as a normal shoe for walking, lock control means adapted to lock the wheel assemblies between the extended position and the received position, and a stop alternatively set in a stop holder at the back side of one wheel holder between the working position and the non-working position.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a roller skate according to the prior art.
- FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the present invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the structure of the front wheel holder, the rear wheel holder, and the stop holder according to the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the present invention showing the wheel assemblies and the stop set in the extended position.
- FIG. 5 is a sectional view of the present invention showing the wheel assemblies and the stop set in the received position.
- FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 4.
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view taken along line C-C of FIG. 6.
- FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along line B-B of FIG. 4.
- Referring to FIGS. from2 through 7, the boot, referenced by 1, has an
outsole 11 of a certain thickness. Theoutsole 11 comprises afront receiving chamber 12 and arear receiving chamber 13 respectively extended through top and bottom sidewalls thereof, twotransverse button holes 111 respectively extended through the two opposite lateral sidewalls thereof across thereceiving chambers transverse pin hole 112 disposed near the rear side thereof. Asole plate 2 is mounted on theoutsole 11 and covered over thereceiving chambers sole plate 2 comprises a front locatingframe 21 fitted into thefront receiving chamber 12 of theoutsole 11, and a rear locatingframe 22 fitted into therear receiving chamber 13 of theoutsole 11. Afront wheel holder 3 and arear wheel holder 3′ are respectively fastened to the front locatingframe 21 and rear locatingframe 22 of thesole plate 2 byscrews 23. Twowheel assemblies 5 are respectively pivoted to thewheel holders wheel assemblies 5 each comprise a -shaped frame 51 holding a wheel. The -shaped frame 51 has two vertically spacedpin holes 52. Thewheel holders positioning caps 34 disposed at two opposite lateral sides, twolock pin 33 adapted to engage into one of thepin holes 52 of theframe 51 of therespective wheel assembly 5 from two sides, twocompression springs 35 respectively stopped between thelock pins 33 and thepositioning caps 34 to force thelock pins 33 into onepin hole 52 of theframe 51 of therespective wheel assembly 5, twobuttons 31 respectively mounted in two ends of onebutton hole 111 of theoutsole 11, and twopivoted levers 32 each having two free ends respectively connected to thelock pins 33 and thebuttons 31. When depressing thebuttons 31 of onewheel holder levers 32 are turned to move therespective lock pins 33 out of therespective pin hole 52 of therespective wheel assembly 5 against the respective compression springs 38, for enabling therespective wheel assembly 5 to be rotated between the extended position as shown in FIG. 6, and the received position as shown in FIG. 7. When set in the received position, the -shaped frames 51 of thewheel assemblies 5 are disposed in an inverted position to close thereceiving chambers outsole 11 against dust. - Referring to FIG. 8 and FIGS. from2 through 4 again, a bottom-
open stop holder 4 is formed integral with therear wheel holder 3′ and adapted to hold astop 6. Thestop holder 4 has twopin holes 42 aligned at two sides. Thestop 6 has a transverse throughhole 61, and a brake shoe offriction rubber 63 at the bottom end thereof. Apin 41 is mounted in thepin hole 112 of theoutsole 11 and inserted through thepin holes 42 of thestop holder 4 and the transverse throughhole 61 of thestop 6 to hold thestop 6 in thestop holder 4. Thepin 41 has a spring-supportedsteel ball 411 disposed in a radial recessed hole thereof and partially protruding over the periphery for positioning. After installation, thesteel ball 411 is stopped at one lateral sidewall of the stop holder 4.The transverse throughhole 61 of thestop 6 is disposed near one end of thestop 6, so that thestop 6 can be mounted in thestop holder 4 in either direction between the extended (operative) position as shown in FIG. 8 and the received (non-operative) position as shown in FIG. 5. - Further,
positioning springs wheel holders stop holder 4 to hold thewheel assemblies 5 and thestop 6 in the received position (see FIG. 5). - It is to be understood that the drawings are designed for purposes of illustration only, and are not intended for use as a definition of the limits and scope of the invention disclosed.
