Definitions

  • This invention pertains to an in-line skate, and more particularly, to a braking device for an in-line skate, such brake as will closely simulate the sideways braking action of a hockey skate or snow ski.
  • the brake system can be for new in-line skates or retrofitted to an existing in-line skate.
  • In-line skating has become a popular form of exercise and sport worldwide, to the extent that there now exist indoor hockey rinks built solely for the use of roller hockey.
  • In ⁇ line skaters especially those playing roller hockey, often resort to the same type of braking action used by ice skaters, commonly referred to as a "hockey stop.”
  • This is not always effective because the skaters are not always able to stop their motion, or, at best, are able to stop their motion only within the wide arc created by the lead skate in said braking motion.
  • almost all of the braking occurs, not by turning the skate, but by dragging the rear skate along the ground.
  • One problem is that currently available in-line skates are ill-equipped for turning, the wheels being fixed in a straight-line orientation.
  • the most widely used braking mechanism available for in-line skates is one which is secured to the rear portion of the boot and which comprises a flat fixed brake pad intended to abrade the skating surface.
  • the skater applies the brake by extending the skate slightly forward and lifting the front wheels off the ground, thereby applying the rear brake pad to the skating surface and frictionally stopping the forward motion of the skater.
  • This mechanism is undesirable in that it requires the user to thrust his foot forward of his body, thus putting him in an awkward and out- of-balance position. Said motion becomes even more difficult on uneven or pitched terrain.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,028,058 typifies this type of brake on currently available in-line skates and similar mechanisms can be found described in U.S. Pat. Nos.: 5,067,736; 5,183,275; 5,192,088; and 5,197,572.
  • a brake system described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,207,438 calls for a toe-mounted brake.
  • the skater In use, the skater extends his foot rearwardly to position a rotatable cylinder, mounted on the toe of the boot, onto the skating surface, thereby creating enough friction between the cylinder and the ground to slow the forward motion of the skate.
  • This system is undesirable because it places the skater in an awkward, unbalanced position, the rear skate being too difficult to control as one rolls along.
  • Another object of this invention is to ensure that the skate retains adequate forward bias and lateral resistance within the wheel supports themselves to allow the skater to easily propel the skate forward when not braking.
  • a further object is to allow the skate wheel to pivot about a vertical axis so that when the skater turns his foot sideways, the wheel of the skate is pressed against a brake surface located inside the side plate provided with the new braking system.
  • An additional object of this invention is to allow a quicker, more controlled stopping motion than is currently available with in-line skates.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a brake that reduces vibrations transmitted to the skates on uneven or slopes surfaces, thereby making skating safer on all non-slip surfaces of any reasonable pitch.
  • the present invention which includes an elongate base plate having a longitudinal axis, a top and an underside, the top having a boot secured thereto, and the underside having a plurality of wheel assemblies attached thereto, the forwardmost of the wheel assemblies having a fixed straight-ahead orientation, and more than one of the remaining wheel assemblies including the rearwardmost assembly, having a caster-like construction allowing it to pivot about a vertical axis.
  • the invention also features a pair of generally vertically extending brake surfaces spaced apart from each other on opposite sides of the wheel of at least the rearwardmost assembly. These brake surfaces are so disposed such that when the wheel is in its first inclined position it will make frictional engagement with one of the brake surfaces, and when the wheel is in its other inclined position it will frictionally engage the other brake surface.
  • there are four wheel assemblies the forwardmost being fixedly oriented and the remainder being pivotable, and the brake means being used in association with the rearwardmost wheel assembly.
  • each side plate that extends downwardly from each of the opposite sides of the base plate, each side plate having a lower edge portion to which is secured an auxiliary brake member, said brake member adapted to engage the ground when said skate is suitably canted about its longitudinal axis.
  • FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the brake system of this invention
  • FIG. 2 is an enlarged bottom plan view of this invention
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged rear elevational view of this invention in a straight-ahead configuration
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged rear elevational view of this invention in a braking configuration.
  • skate boot 11 in FIG. 1 is secured to base plate 13 in the rear at points 27a and b.
  • Base plate 13 is also secured at the front end of the boot with two additional fasteners. Next, side plate
  • Caster-like wheel support 19a is secured to base plate 13 at point 35 with a fastener that allows the wheel mount to swivel freely about a vertical axis even though it is securely fastened to the base plate.
  • retractable pins 41a and b are set into said wheel support. said wheel support having a notched-out area such that the pins are exposed (use FIG. 4).
  • brake surface 29 is secured to base plate 13 with fastener 39, also shown in FIG. 4.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4. illustrates skate wheel 17 positioned along the longitudinal axis
  • FIG. 4 illustrates skate wheel 17 abrading against brake surface 29 at point 29a after having been pivoted during braking. (Note: skate wheel 17 may also be pivoted in the opposite direction, causing it to abrade against brake surface 29 at point 29b. )
  • the invention is to be used as follows:
  • the skater propels himself in the normal manner of in-line skating.
  • the skater turns one or both skates sideways, causing the wheels to pivot and engage the brake surface, thereby causing the wheel to stop its forward motion.
  • Additional braking capability can be achieved using the variant employing an auxiliary brake pad located along the lower edge of each side plate.
  • the skater cants his foot during the braking procedure described above, thereby causing the auxiliary brake pad to abrade against the skating surface, thereby stopping the forward motion of the skater.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un patin à roulettes en ligne comprenant un plateau de base allongé (13) présentant une face supérieure sur laquelle vient se fixer une chaussure (11), et une face inférieure sur laquelle sont montés quatre ensembles roue. L'ensemble roue avant (19d) a une orientation fixe tandis que les autres ensembles disposent chacun d'un système de chasse. Des ressorts (23) orientent chaque ensemble disposant d'un système de chasse dans la direction avant. Une première et une seconde surfaces de freinage verticales fixes (29) sont placées sur les deux côtés opposés de la roue la plus en arrière (17), de manière à ce que celle-ci (17) entre en contact de frottement avec une surface de freinage lorsqu'elle se tourne sensiblement dans l'une ou l'autre direction.
