  • Braking device particularly for skates
    Patent number: 6089579
    Abstract: A braking device for skates including an item of footgear composed of a quarter articulated to a shell in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. A rod member is articulated to a plate having a slot for the sliding and pivoting of rods which clamp a pair of disks laterally associated with one of the wheels, when the quarter is tilted back by the user.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 18, 2000
    Assignee: Nordica S.p.A.
    Inventors: Alfred Pellegrini, Jr., Andrea Tormena, Ernesto Benvenuto
  • Reinforced skate
    Patent number: 6082745
    Abstract: A reinforced skate including a frame for supporting wheels or an ice-skating blade, and associated with a shoe. The reinforcement includes a first rigid element and a second rigid element, which are articulated to each other and surround the quarter and the shell so as to laterally assume the shape of the Greek letter lambda. The first rigid element is connected, at its end, to the frame so as to form a structure which allows optimum transmission of forces to the frame.

  • Braking device particularly for skates
    Patent number: 5918888
    Abstract: Braking device for skates including an item of footgear composed of a quarter articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. The device includes a rod member connected to the quarter and is slidingly associated with the shell. The rod member has an end which, upon a rotation of the quarter, pushes toward the ground, a braking element articulated to the frame.

  • Braking device, particularly for skates
    Patent number: 5511804
    Abstract: A braking device, particularly usable for skates including a shoe composed of a quarter articulated to a shell in turn associated with a supporting frame for one or more wheels. The device comprises at least one rod-like element which is rotatably associated with the quarter and is slidingly associated with a guide formed on a wing which is associated with the frame. The rod-like element is kinematically connected to a braking element articulated to the frame. When the quarter is rotated backwards, the rod-like element causes the braking element to rotate so that it interacts with the ground.
