Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of a skate chassis 100 produced in accordance with the instant invention. In particular, the skate chassis is preferrably designed for the so-called "in-line" skate which supports a plurality of skate wheels (not shown) which are aligned behind each other in a single line.

[0017] The chassis 100 comprises a pair of spaced apart, substantially parallel sides 101 and 102. The sides are integrally formed with a bottom 103. A front or sole mounting flange 104 and a rear or heel mounting flange 105 is integrally formed with side 101. Complementary mounting flanges 106 and 107 are integrally formed with side 102. The complementary flanges extend outwardly from the respective sides.

[0018] One or more support braces 110 and 111 can be integrally formed with the respective sides 101 and 102. Similar braces 113 and 114 are formed at the rear of the chassis although only brace 114 is visible in FIG. 1. In a preferred embodiment, ...

Abstract

A skate chassis formed from one piece of metal by a stamping process.

Description

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention[0002] This invention is directed to chassis for skates, in general, and to a chassis stamped and formed from a single piece of metal for in-line roller skates, in particular.[0003] 2. Prior Art[0004] Roller skates and ice skates have been known for many years.[0005] A recent innovation in roller skates is referred to as in-line skates wherein the wheels or rollers are arranged in-line one behind the other, typically, in groups of four. This arrangement creates a type of footwear which is more akin to an ice skate, than to a conventional roller skate. As a result, roller hockey has become a popular hobby, pastime and even professional sports activity.[0006] The typical in-line skate includes a shoe or boot and an attached metal chassis for supporting the rollers. In the past, the metal chassis has been formed by machining a single block of metal to form the desired shape. Alternatively, the frame has been constructed by welding multiple pieces of meta...
