Abstract: There is disclosed an improved skate wheel for an in-line skate comprising a hub for rotation about an axis and a plurality of cores of material disposed about the hub to be coaxial therewith, the outer core of material being harder than the inner core to facilitate a rolling motion of the wheel over a surface while absorbing energy.
Abstract: There is disclosed an improved skate wheel for an in-line skate comprising a hub for rotation about an axis and a plurality of layers of material disposed concentrically about the hub, each of the layers consisting of a material having a predetermined durometric hardness, the outermost of the layers including an outer surface adapted for a rolling motion of the wheel over a surface.
