  • Skate structure
    Publication number: 20050040612
    Abstract: A skate structure comprising: a first shoe body for accommodating the user's foot; a second shoe body designed to accommodate the first shoe body; a rigid sole designed to be joined to the second shoe body; a frame comprising a support structure having a top surface that joins to the rigid sole and two sidewall elements for holding the skate's means of movement. The rigid sole also has a rigid toe-piece and two lateral extensions. The skate structure also comprises: first fastening means constituted by adhesive elements positioned between the second shoe body and the rigid toe-piece and between the second shoe body and the front portion of the rigid sole; second fastening means, at least partially constituted by screw fittings, joining the frame to the rigid sole.

  • 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.

  • 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.
