Publication number: 20070290462Abstract: The skate assembly includes a bogie frame including a brake pad, a pad support and a wear compensation system. Such a system includes an articulation, enabling the pad support to be lifted relative to the rest of the frame, and a movable locking lever. During braking, the lever is fastened into the slots provided for fastening the lever. When the pad has worn out, the user can unlock the lever and rotate the support so as to bring again the pad close to the ground. In this way, notwithstanding the wear of the pad, the need for excessively tilting the skate for braking is avoided. The adjustment system is very simple from the manufacturing standpoint, and is easy and quick to lock.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: NORDICA S.P.A.Inventors: Nicola BONORA, Claudio Zampieri

Patent number: 5955017Abstract: Method for producing soles for shoes, which initially includes the production, by molding, of a sole that has a perimetric ridge that protrudes downwards. The sole is then placed on a plunger of a mold that has a head which is shaped complementarily with respect to the lower surface of the sole and with respect to the ridge and in which there is a recess for containing the ridge and a gap for the intended flow of a second material to be injected. The last step consists in trimming the flash, which has an intended consistency.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1997Date of Patent: September 21, 1999Assignee: Nordica S.p.A.Inventors: Massimo Foffano, Riccardo Perotto
