BRAKE ATTACHMENT FOR ROLLER SKATE I 'Filed July 1, 1955 INVENTOR JAMES SEQBA ATTORNEY United Stats James G. Serba, Waynesboro, Va., assignor to Wilbur C. Zook, Waynesboro, Pa.
Application July 1, 1955, Serial No. 519,491
1 Claim. (Cl. 280-112) This invention relates to toe stops or brakes for roller skates.
Toe stops now on the market have two general disadvantages:
(1) Their use results in bending and eventually breaking plate and shoe.
(2) The skate must be taken apart or even modified in structure to receive the toe stop.
It is therefore an object of this invention to provide a toe stop capable of protecting the plate and shoe against the impact of stopping.
A further object is to provide a toe stop which may be attached to a skate without removing any part of the skate and without any modification in the structure of the skate.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a side view in elevation of a shoe skate showing the toe stop attached thereto.
Figure 2 is an inverted plan view of the front end of the skate with toe stop attached.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the front end of a skate plate showing the hole made by the skate manufacturer and used to fasten the toe stop to the plate.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of the toe stop without the relevant stop member.
Figure 5 is an inverted plan view of the part in Figure 4.
tent ice Figure 6 is a plan view of the stop or braking member and Figure 7 is a section on line 77 of Figure 6.
Referring to the drawings, numeral 10 refers to the sole plate of a conventional roller skate. The front wheel truck 12 is attached to plate 10 by means of a threaded fastener 13.
This invention comprises a rigid brake supporting member 15 having the front end or bight thereof formed to receive a brake member 16 at a suitable angle. Said supporting member is attached at the front end to the plate 10 by a suitable fastening device 17 through a hole 18 provided in all sole plates, for fastening the plate to a shoe. If desired, this fastening device may be extended to fasten the sole plate 10 to the sole 25 of the shoe. The rear portion of member 15 consists of a pair of spaced arms 20"and 21 which extend along either side of the truck post 22 in substantially parallel relation to the sole plate 10 and serve to reinforce said sole plate. Said arms 20 and 21 are clamped to truck post 22 by means of a clamp screw 23:. its parallel relation with sole plate 10, member 15 ab- 'sorbs the force of stopping and prevents bending of said plate as well as shoe sole 25.
I claim:
In a roller skate having a sole plate, a truck post on said sole plate and a wheel truck mounted on said truck post, the combination of a rigid U-shaped member having a brake element mounted forwardly at the bight of the member and parallel rearwardly extending arms, means for attaching said member at its forward end to the sole plate and a screw for clamping said arms to the truck post adjacent said sole plate.
