Problems solved by technology

However, the skates of the known type suffer some drawbacks.
This fact entails that the skate is often cumbersome, heavy and unattractive from the aesthetic point of view.
This problem is worsened by the fact that the acrobatic sport activity causes damages to the outer surface of the skate, which thus shortly appears somewhat

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The skate, according to the present invention, will be described hereinafter with particular reference to its use in “aggressive” skating. This is only for sake of simplicity and it does not imply any limitation of the scope of the present invention. In fact, the present gliding device can be advantageously used without distinction in many other gliding sports such as traditional or speed skating, rolling and the like.

[0015] With reference to the figures, the skate 1, according to the present invention, comprises a frame 2 supporting a plurality of wheels 3. The frame 2 is connected, at the top, to a rigid sole 4, through the insertion of a toe plate 5a and a heel plate 5b. The sole 4 is in turn connected to the sports shoe 6. Preferably, the sole 4 is arranged so as to wrap around a lower portion 61 of the sports shoe 2. The plates 5a and 5b are preferably made of a shockproof and wearproof material. It should be noticed that the presence of the plates 5a and 5b, by co-oper...

Abstract

A skate, particularly suitable for aggressive skating, comprising a frame supporting a plurality of wheels and a sports shoe, the sports shoe comprising a sole, a shell and an internal liner for accommodating the foot and/or the lower portion of the user's leg, the skate comprising also a toe plate and a heel plate, which are inserted between the frame and the rigid sole.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an improved skate, which is particularly suitable for the practice of so-called “aggressive” skating. [0002] Nowadays, “aggressive” skating is quite known and widespread. Basically, this kind of sports practice consists of a series of acrobatics movements such as, for example, the so-called “grinding” (i.e. a crosswise passage along kerbs or handrails) or other stunt movements. Known skates, used for this sports practice, comprise a frame which supports a plurality of in-line wheels and a sports shoe associated to the frame. The sports shoe comprises a rigid sole and a shell, which is usually connected to a cuff. The shell and the cuff surround an internal liner for accommodating the user's foot. The shell and the cuff are fitted with a pair of opposing flaps that may be fastened together through suitable fastening buckles arranged transversely to these flaps. [0003] However, the skates of the known type suffer some...
