Attorneys Patented Aug. 8, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in roller skates and has for one of its important objects to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this character which is adapted to travel over different kinds of surfaces, such as gravel roads, sidewalks, floors, etc.
Another very important object of the invention is to provide a skate of the aforementioned character comprising a novel construction and arrangement of removable fender whereby the skate may be used on a Wet surface without splashing or throwing water, mud, etc., on the feet and legs of the skater.
Other objects of the invention are toprovide a skate of the character described which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly efficient and reliable in use, compact, light in weight, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and wherein:
Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a view in bottom plan thereof.
Figure 3 is a cross sectional view, taken substantially on the line 33 of Fig. 1.
Figure 4 is a perspective View of the removable fender.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises a metallic foot plate I. The foot plate I is of substantially the shape shown to advantage in Fig. 2 of the drawings. Any suitable means, as at 2, may be provided on the plate I for securing said plate to the foot of a skater. It may be well to here state that different sizes of skates are contemplated to fit different sizes of feet.
Depending from the front and rear portions of the foot plate I are pairs of brackets or arms 3. The arms 3 have formed in their lower end portions notches or recesses 4 for the reception of the end portions of stationary axles 5. Nuts 6 secure the axles 5 on the arms 3, said nuts being engageable in recesses l which are provided therefor in the lower end portions of said arms for preventing said axles from dropping out of the notches or recesses 4.
Wheels 8 are journalled on the axles 5 between the arms 3. It will thus be seen that a two wheeled skate is provided, there being one wheel on each of the axles. The wheels 8 are provided with suitable roller or ball bearings. Low pres- 5 sure pneumatic tires 9 are mounted on the wheels 8.
Mounted over the wheels 8 between the arms 3 and below the foot plate I is a removable fender I0. Screws II detachably secure the fender II] 10 beneath the foot plate I. The lower side portions of the fender I0 extend between the hub portions of the wheels 8 and the arms 3 and said lower portions are provided with recesses or notches I2 which accommodate the axles 5. This is shown to advantage in Fig. 3 of the drawings.
The low pressure pneumatic tires 9 permit the skate to be used in a highly satisfactory manner on different kinds of surfaces, such as those hereinbefore mentioned. The fender I0, when in use, prevents water, mud, dust, etc., from being thrown by the wheels on the feet and legs of the skater. To remove the fender I 0, the wheels 8 are first removed, together with the axles 5, by simply loosening the nuts 6. This permits access to be had to the screws II with a screw driver or other suitable tool and also allows the fender to be withdrawn from between the arms 3 after said screws II have been removed. The wheels may then be remounted and the skate used without the fender.
It is believed that the many advantages of a roller skate constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood and although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
What is claimed is:
A roller skate comprising a foot plate, pairs of arms depending from said foot plate, axles removably mounted on the lower end portions of the arms, wheels journalled on said axles, and a fender of substantially U-shaped cross section removably secured to the lower side of the foot plate between the pairs of arms and enclosing the upper portions of the wheels, the opposed walls of said fender extending between the hub portions of the wheels and the arms and having notches in their lower edges accommodating the axles.
