  • Patent number: 11890529
    Abstract: An individual movement equipment item, which is constituted by a pair of motorized skates, each of the motorized skates comprising: a plate in the form of a sole and having a front portion, which is articulated transversely relative to a rear portion, the plate having means for connecting to the foot or the shoe of the user, motorized means, which are formed by two portions, which are articulated transversely in order to form a front train and a rear train, connection means between the articulated plate and the motorized means, which connect the front portion to the front train and the rear portion to the rear train, characterized in that the angle of the longitudinal axis of the at least one of the trains of each of the skates forms an angle between 10° and 20°, and preferably of from 12° to 15°, with the longitudinal axis of the plate.

  • Patent number: 9027690
    Abstract: Personal transport means for walking at faster speeds than normal walking, made up of a pair of wheeled shoes or wheeled undersoles (1-1) that can be adapted by quick attachment (1-2) to the soles of the normal shoes of a walker, laterally articulated (1-3) to follow the natural movements of the heels relative to the tips of the feet (1-10) during normal walking, and allowing walking at higher speeds, without any skating movements, without having to gain momentum, and without modifying the rhythm, amplitude or longitudinal stability of natural walking, by means of a servomotor (1-4) which allows the speed of the driving wheels to exceed the skidding force (1-5a, 1-5b) resulting from the force transmitted by the supporting leg (1-6), and comprising an accelerator (1-8) and a brake (1-9) controlled by the foot of the walker.
