Structure of inline skates

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to an improved structure of inline skates, which provides a cushion, a wheel with a gearwheel on its side, and a pawl assembly. By pressing down the weight, the wheel with gearwheel on its side occludes the pawl assembly, which stops the wheel with gearwheel on its side from rolling one-wayly. Thereby, the improved structure of inline skates is more ergonomic and exercise injuries can be prevented. In addition, a brake is provided for providing shock absorption and more powerful acceleration. Besides, automatic support upright is also provided for avoiding tumbles.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to inline skates, and particularly to inline skates that combining a one-way roll stop device and a cushion for providing the inline skates with superior braking effect during sliding as well as with more forceful acceleration holds. Thereby, an improved structure of inline skates with ergonomics, exercise-injury prevention, and comfort is provided.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Inline skating is a rising roller-skating exercise. To date a variety of types has developed including mainly recreational, figure, cross-country, acrobatic, and speed. Special structures are designed for cross-country and speed inline skates to meet their speed demands or requirements by special environments. In addition, extraordinary and long-term trainings are required to handle and use them appropriately. The basic structure and function thereof similar to recreational inline skates, details of the inline skates of these types are not...

Benefits of technology

[0008]An objective of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of inline skates, which can achieves superior braking effect in a manner complying ergonomics. In addition, the inline skates according to the present invention can support upright automatically on the go for preventing tumbles. Thereby, exercise injuries are reduced or avoided accordingly, and active safety is provided.

[0009]Another objective of the present invention is to provide an improved structure of inline skates, which can provide effectively more forceful acceleration holds as well as shock-absorbing capability for comfort. Thereby, the operation quality of the inline skates is improved.

[0010]In order to achieve the objectives and effects described above, the present invention provides an improved structure of inline skates, which includes a boot, a base, a wheel set, one or more one-way roll stop devices, and one or more cushions. When the base is pressed, the wheels of the wheel set are pressed accordingly. The cushion eases the stress through compression thereof. When the cushion compresses, it drives said one or more one-way roll stop devices to step rolling. Thereby, braking effect and an acceleration hold are provided. In addition, shock-absorbing effect is provided as well by the cushion.

Problems solved by technology

Owing to the larger wheel diameter with the longer span, it is laborious to press and push slantingly both legs alternately for maintaining sliding for a long time.

In addition, it violates ergonomics as well.

Besides, recreational inline skates do not provide effective braking disposal.

However, the braking effect is very poor, and the braking action violates ergonomics as well.

Furthermore, the rear brake pads tend to make both legs stuck with and bump against each other and consequently make the player stumble when he alternates his legs to slide or when he comers (forward or backward crossovers).

Hence, the figure inline skate slides slower and unstable.

Slight incaution results in touch of the front brake pad on the sliding leg on the ground, which is very dangerous because it will cause the player trip forward.

As for an acrobatic line skate, no brake is adapted thereon because a brake device that is like the one on a recreational or a figure inline skate obstructs absolutely acrobatic movements and thereby results in danger.

In fact, tumbles when wearing acrobatic inline skates occur frequently.

Some severe injuries even happened.

To sum up, various current inline skates cannot provide an effective and safe brake device.

However, this skill needs long-term practices.

Slight incaution tends to result in tumble and accidental injuries such as scrapes, collision injuries, and sprains.

Besides, the skill violates ergonomics.

In addition to ease of wear on the inline skates, T-stop is not applicable in all fields.

If the field is slightly slippery, unsmooth, or has too much grip, falling over tends to happen.
