Abstract: An in-line skate having a support for in -line wheels; the support is associated with the skate frame in order to be transversely adjustable. The skate has a frame with a spaced downwardly extending wings, and a support element arranged between he wings of the frame, with an actuatable mechanism for automatically moving the support element laterally with respect to the frame upon actuation by the user.

Abstract: An ice skate, particularly for speed skating includes an upper half-frame provided with means for coupling to a shoe which oscillates on a same plane with respect to a lower half-frame which is associated with a blade which interacts with the ice. The upper half-frame of the skate can perform a forward translatory motion of the heel region and a backward translatory motion of the tip region. This allows the user to improve his skating.

Abstract: Braking device, particularly usable for skates including a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a frame for supporting wheels. The device includes at least one cable which connects the quarter to a braking element, so as to allow to obtain the braking action when the quarter is tilted.

Abstract: A skate comprising a boot having attached to its sole a support for mounting at least one element for a movement on a base surface, such an ice skate or a roller skate, comprising an insole with a downwards directed extension interacting with the at least one element at a location disposed between vertical axis passing through the ankle of a user and a vertical axis passing through the point of blade roller surface contact.

Abstract: A shoe, particularly for skating, includes a soft upper below which a sole for walking is rigidly coupled. The shoe has, at the lower surface of the sole and longitudinally thereto, a seat for a rigid plate having temporary engagement member for a grip member associated with a supporting frame for in-line wheels. A rigid cuff is associated with the upper, oscillates transversely and longitudinally with respect to the upper, and cooperates with an element for limiting and controlling the oscillation which is associated with the supporting frame for the in-line wheels. It is thus possible to use the shoe both for ordinary walking and for skating.

Abstract: A supporting frame for in-line wheels or for an ice-skating blade, including elements for the temporary engagement, centering, and locking of coupling elements which are rigidly coupled below and to the rear of a soft shoe that is adapted for walking. It is thus possible to use, for skating, a shoe used for normal walking.

Abstract: Braking device, particularly usable for skates including a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell which is in turn associated with a frame for supporting wheels. The device includes at least one cable which connects the quarter to a braking element, so as to allow to obtain the braking action when the quarter is tilted.

Abstract: An in-line skate having a support for in-line wheels; the support is associated with the skate frame in order to be transversely adjustable. It is thus possible to vary the mutual position of the longitudinal axis of the wheels and of the longitudinal axis of the frame.

Abstract: A shell, particularly for sports shoes such as ice skates or roller skates or trekking boots. The shell includes a single body that has a first flap and a second flap, at least one of which is arranged transversely to the foot instep. A single fastening device can be arranged between the first and second flaps. The first and second flaps are connected along two directrices that are oblique with respect to the toe and heel regions. This configuration allows to reduce the number of shell closure levers, nonetheless ensuring optimum securing of the foot inside the shell.
