1 Claim.
This invention relates to coaster skates and has for its primary purpose, the provision of means on each skate to permit the adaptation and use of single tired roller supporting elements, of which there are a pair on each skate tracking each other.
The invention has for one of its objects, to provide the foot rest of the skate with upwardly extending swingable means for attaching to the leg of the skater.
Another object is to provide the foot rest with side disposed roller elements.
A further object is to dispose the foot rest of the skate in a plane lower than the axes of the roller elements.
A still further object is to provide a coaster skate of a construction which will permit the adaptation and use therewith, of varying diametered roller elements.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a coaster skate of an improved construction.
Other objects and advantages will appear as this description progresses and by reference to the drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top elevation of a coaster skate showing my invention.
Figure 2 is a vertical transverse section taken approximately on the line II-II of Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a vertical transverse section taken approximately on the line IIIIII of Fig. 1.
Figure 4 is an inverted elevation of a roller skate showing a modified location of the roller elements.
Figure 5 is a side elevation of the modification shown in Fig. 4 with the upper portion of an extending brace broken away and parts thereof shown in section.
Referring to the several figures of the drawings, the coaster skate shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 comprises a foot rest 6 having a heel guard 'l at one end, and adjustably supported in parts 8 struck-out from portions of the heel guard I, is a horizontally disposed axle 9. The axle 9 is disposed in a plane above the foot rest 6 and extends well beyond the foot rest on the left side thereof for the support of the rear roller or wheel I9.
Disposed forwardly of the wheel I9 in tracking alinement therewith, is a wheel I I which is turnably mounted on the horizontal axle I2, said axle being in the same plane as the axle 9 and is supported in the walls I3 of a bowed portion I4 which is supported and extended upwardly from the foot rest 6.
The foot rest 6 shown, is obviously for the left foot of the skater, and extending upwardly from the foot rest on the inside thereof adjacent the heel rest, is a brace rod I5 having a horizontal portion I6 which is turnably supported in a pair of ears I! which are depended from the foot rest 6, the vertical portion I8 of said brace rod being slidably telescoped in a sleeve I9 having a horizontally disposed leg pad 29 pivotally secured at 2| on its upper end. Opposing adjustable toe clamps 22 are adjustably secured to the under side of the foot rest 6.
In securing this improved skate to the left foot of a skater, the toe is engaged beneath the bowed portion I4 and the leg pad 20 is engaged against the upper portion of the calf of the leg and is secured thereagainst by a strap (not shown). A heel strap (not shown) which engages the apertures 23 is engaged and secured over the angle of the skater, and after the toe clamps 22 have been secured against the shoe sole, a toe strap may be used, if desired.
Inasmuch as the foot rest 6 is underslung in respect to the axles 9 and I2, it is obvious that wheels of difierent diameters up to approximately eight inches, may be used if desired, as said wheels are disposed on the outer side of each foot rest of a pair of skates.
During skating uses, the side disposed pair of tracking wheels I0 and II will be held in approximate upright positions by reason of the vertical brace rod I 5 and its cooperable sleeve I9 being clamped or secured to the leg of the skater, and ankle movement to the skater will be afforded by reason of the telescoping brace rod I5 being swingably mounted in the ears I! beneath the foot rest, and on account of each wheel being single tired, ground friction is consequently minimized.
With further regard to the side disposition of the wheels or roller elements In and I I which enables the adaptation of wheels of different diameters to the foot rest, it is clear that more suitable requirements of skaters can be provided attendant with different types of skating, and by reason of the use of larger wheels, easier riding is afforded and the noise created by the rolling effect by wheels of smaller diameters such as are in present use, will be somewhat eliminated. Obviously, the use of larger diametered wheels provides for rubber tires or the like, being used.
The modified showing in Figs. 4 and 5 goes to in line single tired smaller diametered wheels 24 which are directly supported beneath the foot rest 25, and said foot rest having the vertically telescoping swingable leg support 26 which is as essential in this embodiment as in the generic showing in Figs. 1, 2 and 3. Each wheel 24 is turnably mounted on an axle 21 supported in respective yokes 28 which are rigidly fixed to the foot rest 25.
Having thus described the invention so that those skilled in the art will be able to practice the same, what I desire to secure by Letters Patent is defined in what is claimed, it being understood that various changes in the structure shown and described in detail and not amounting to invention, may be made without departing froni the spirit and scope of my invention.
What I claim is:
A coaster skate comprising a foot rest having a heel guard at one end and an inverted toe engaging portion adjacent its opposite end, a pair of ears outwardly bent from said heel guard, an axle supported in said ears, an axle supported in the depending parts of said inverted toe engaging l0 portion, and a roller element mounted on each axle.
