Description

Field of invention

[0001] The present utility model relates to the technical field of inline skates and in particular to a learning inline skate. State of the art

[0002] Inline skates, also known as roller skates, originated in the Netherlands and are used both for competition and recreation. These days, skating is increasingly becoming a leisure activity for children. In the initial stages of learning to skate, children need the support of a beginner's inline skate to gradually learn the basics.

[0003] The official publication CN216934671U reveals a practical inline skate comprising a base, a front boot component, a rear boot component, a strap component, and wheels. The base includes a base plate, a rear boot cuff integrated with the base plate, a front wheel mount, a rear wheel mount, and a brake insert. The front wheel mount is located on both sides of the front end of the base plate, and the rear wheel mount is located on both sides of the rear boot cuff. The wheels are mounted on the front and rear wheel mounts, and the brake insert is located beneath the base plate. The front boot component is mounted on the base plate and includes a front sole and the boot cuff attached to the front sole. The rear boot component is mounted on the base plate and is movably connected to the front boot component.The strap component set is mounted on the rear of the boot shaft. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the base and the front boot component.

[0004] The practical inline skate described above has some disadvantages. For example, the wheels mounted on the front and rear wheel brackets cannot swivel or rotate; that is, these wheels are fixed pointing forward. This design means that beginners cannot easily adjust the skate's direction during the initial stages. They often have to lift the skates, correct the direction, and then put them back down, making it insufficient for beginners.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to improve the state of the art. Object of the invention

[0006] To solve the problems of the prior art described above, the objective of the present utility model is to provide a novel learning inline skate that allows the user to control the direction of the inline skate by continuously changing their center of gravity, without having to intentionally lift the skates and correct the direction. The directional adjustment is very flexible, which makes it particularly easy for beginners to use.

[0007] To achieve this goal, the technical concept of the present utility model is as follows: A novel learning inline skate comprising an inline skate body, two front wheels, two rear wheels, and a steering mechanism; wherein the inline skate body comprises a boot shell and a leg strap mounted on the boot shell; the two rear wheels are each mounted on the rear sides of the rear end of the boot shell and connected to each other via an axle; the steering mechanism comprises a support bridge, two cushioning pads, and a connecting component; the front upper surface of the support bridge is movably inserted into a toe hole arranged on the front bottom surface of the boot shell; the two cushioning pads are mounted vertically on the front bottom surface of the boot shell via the connecting component;A support hole is provided at the rear end of the support bridge, the rear end of the support bridge being placed on the connecting component through the support hole and clamped by the two damping pads; a gap exists between the side wall of the support hole and the connecting component; the damping pads exhibit deformable elasticity; the two front roller wheels are each attached to the two sides of the support bridge; The support bridge can be pivoted both horizontally forwards and backwards as well as vertically up and down to steer the front wheels in different directions. This arrangement allows the direction of the inline skate to be adjusted easily and flexibly, making it particularly easy for beginners to use.

[0008] The connecting component further comprises a central bolt and a nut; a through-hole extending vertically is provided at the front end of the shoe shell; the shank of the central bolt successively penetrates the central hole of the upper cushioning pad, the support hole located in the support bridge, and the central hole of the lower cushioning pad, and is then connected to the nut. This arrangement allows the support bridge, together with the two cushioning pads, to be easily mounted onto the shoe shell.

[0009] Furthermore, a support groove is provided on both the upper and lower end faces of the rear end of the support bridge; the two ends of the support hole run accordingly through the two support grooves; the lower end of the upper damping pad and the upper end of the lower damping pad are each positively inserted into the two support grooves. This arrangement allows the support bridge, together with the two damping pads, to be installed stably.

[0010] Furthermore, a projecting tenon tip is provided on the front upper side of the support bridge; the tenon tip is movably inserted into the tenon hole, the width of the tenon hole being greater than the width of the tenon tip.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper surface of the tenon head has an upwardly curved, arched shape; the surrounding side walls of the point hole have a correspondingly arched shape. This arrangement allows the tenon head to rotate flexibly within the point hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the damping pads are made of TPU or PVC.

[0013] Furthermore, the damping pads are cylindrical and continuous on both sides.

[0014] Furthermore, the inline skate includes an adjustment mechanism; The adjustment mechanism comprises an adjustment plate and an adjustment bolt; the adjustment plate is slidably mounted on the top of the shoe shell; a threaded clamping block is provided on the underside of the adjustment plate; the shaft of the adjustment bolt is rotatably held in the shoe shell and threaded to the threaded clamping block, with the head of the adjustment bolt protruding rearward from the shoe shell. This arrangement allows the adjustment plate to be easily moved forward and backward to accommodate different users.

[0015] Furthermore, the surface of the adjustment plate features several adjustment slots that extend vertically through the plate and run along the longitudinal direction of the shoe shell. Several limit pins are arranged on the upper side of the shoe shell, each corresponding to one of the adjustment slots; each limit pin is inserted into one of the adjustment slots. This arrangement limits the adjustment plate, ensuring that it does not exceed the preset adjustment range when moved.

[0016] Advantageous effect of the present utility model: The design of the steering mechanism in this utility model allows the user to control the direction of the inline skates by continuously shifting their center of gravity after putting them on. This means that when changing direction, the user simply needs to shift their center of gravity accordingly, without having to intentionally lift the boot shell and correct the direction. The directional adjustment is very flexible, which makes it particularly easy for beginners to use.

[0018] The present utility model is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. The following description serves only as an example and does not limit the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] As in Fig. 1 to Fig. As shown in Figure 5, a novel learning inline skate comprises an inline skate main body 1, two front roller wheels 2, two rear roller wheels 3 and a steering mechanism 4.

[0020] The main body of the inline skate 1 comprises a boot shell 12 and a leg buckle 11 mounted on the boot shell 12; the two rear wheel wheels 3 are each mounted on the rear sides of the boot shell 12 and connected to each other via an axle (not shown in the drawings).

[0021] The steering mechanism 4 comprises a support bridge 41, two damping pads 42 and a connecting component.

[0022] Specifically, the front upper surface of the support bridge 41 can be movably inserted into the apex hole 13 on the front base of the shoe shell 12; the two damping pads 42 are arranged vertically on the front base of the shoe shell 12 via the connecting component; a support hole 411 is provided at the rear end of the support bridge 41, through which the rear end of the support bridge 41 is placed on the connecting component and clamped by the two damping pads 42, i.e., the rear end of the support bridge 41 is located between the two damping pads 42, and there is play between the side wall of the support hole 411 and the connecting component to facilitate the pivoting movement of the support bridge 41; the damping pads 42 have deformable elasticity. Furthermore, the two front roller wheels 2 are mounted on either side of the support bridge 41.These two front roller wheels 2 can be attached, in particular, to the two columns on the middle sides of the support bridge 41. The support bridge 41 can swing back and forth horizontally and up and down vertically, thereby steering the front roller wheels 2 in all directions and facilitating directional adjustment of the inline skate.

[0023] Due to the structure described above, the support bridge 41 can be flexibly rotated because its front end is movably inserted into the toe hole 13 of the shoe shell 12. Furthermore, the rear end of the support bridge 41 is placed on the connecting component and clamped between two damping pads 42 with deformable elasticity. A gap is also provided between the side wall of the support hole 411 and the connecting component, allowing the rear end of the support bridge 41 to swing back and forth. When the user wears the novel learning inline skate, they can adjust the direction of the main body of the inline skate by continuously shifting their center of gravity. This means the user only needs to shift their center of gravity in the desired direction to change their direction of travel without consciously lifting and realigning the skate.This makes the directional adjustment very flexible and user-friendly, which is particularly beneficial for beginners. Furthermore, the user can adjust the direction without having to lift the shoe, allowing beginners to use the shoe with great stability and preventing an unstable center of gravity from occurring when lifting the shoe. Specifically, when changing direction, the shift in the center of gravity causes the front and rear ends of the support bridge 41 to oscillate horizontally in the corresponding direction. The rear end of the support bridge 41 compresses the two damping pads 42, which in turn moves the support bridge 41 the two front roller wheels 2 in the corresponding direction.After completion of the directional adjustment, the support bridge 41 and the front roller wheels 2 return together to their initial position, with the damping pads 42 also returning to their original state.

[0024] In the present embodiment, the deformation range of the damping pads 42 should not be too large, as this could easily lead to instability of the support bridge 41 and the front roller wheels 2. Furthermore, the support hole 411 is designed as an elongated hole to facilitate the oscillation of the support bridge 41, with the longitudinal direction of the support hole 411 coinciding with the longitudinal direction of the shoe shell 12.

[0025] As in Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, the connecting component in the present embodiment comprises a central bolt 43 and a nut 44 for conveniently connecting the support bridge 41 and the two damping pads 42. A vertically through-hole is provided at the front end of the shoe shell 12. The shaft of the central bolt 43 successively passes through the central hole of the upper damping pad 42, the support hole 411 in the support bridge 41, and the central hole of the lower damping pad 42, and is then connected to the nut 44. The head of the central bolt 43 is, of course, locked in the shoe shell 12. After the shaft of the central bolt 43 has successively passed through the support bridge 41 and the two damping pads 42, the nut 44 is screwed on, thus firmly fixing these three components to the shoe shell 12 and reliably preventing the connection from loosening.

[0026] As in Fig. 1 to Fig. As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, a support groove 412 is provided on each of the upper and lower end faces of the rear end of the support bridge 41; the two ends of the support hole 411 extend accordingly into the two support grooves 412. The lower end of the upper damping pad 42 and the upper end of the lower damping pad 42 are each inserted precisely into the two support grooves 412. Therefore, after two support grooves 412 have been provided on the support bridge 41 and the two damping pads 42 have been inserted accordingly into these support grooves 412, a stable counter-support is achieved between the support bridge 41 and the damping pads 42, thereby reliably preventing the connection from loosening.

[0027] As in Fig. 2 and Fig. As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment an upwardly projecting tenon head 413 is arranged at the upper front end of the support bridge 41; the tenon head 413 can be movably inserted into the apex hole 13, the width of which is greater than the width of the tenon head 413. Specifically, the upper surface of the tenon head 413 is convex, and the side walls of the apex hole 13 are also correspondingly convex. Therefore, inserting the convex tenon head 413 into the apex hole 13 allows for easy rotation of the tenon head 413, resulting in a user-friendly experience.

[0028] The damping pads 42 are preferably made of TPU or PVC. However, experts in this field should be aware that other suitable materials can also be chosen for the damping pads 42, without further examples being given here.

[0029] Preferably, the damping pads 42 have a cylindrical shape that extends through both ends.

[0030] As in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 and Fig. As shown in Figure 5, the novel learning inline skate further comprises an adjustment mechanism 5; the adjustment mechanism 5 includes an adjustment plate 51 and an adjustment bolt 52; the adjustment plate 51 is arranged to be movable forwards and backwards on the upper side of the boot shell 12, and a threaded clamping block 511 is arranged on the underside of the adjustment plate 51; the shaft of the adjustment bolt 52 is rotatably inserted in the boot shell 12 and threadedly connected to the threaded clamping block 511, the head of the adjustment bolt 52 protrudes rearward from the boot shell 12. This arrangement allows the adjustment plate 51 to be adjusted along the longitudinal direction of the boot shell 12, thereby adjusting the length of the learning inline skate to accommodate different foot sizes of users.Specifically, in use, since the adjusting bolt 52 cannot be moved and can only be rotated, turning the adjusting bolt 52 causes the threaded clamping block 511 screwed to it to be moved, thereby moving the adjusting plate 51 on the surface of the shoe shell 12.

[0031] As in Fig. As shown in Figure 1, in this embodiment, several vertically extending adjustment slots 512 are arranged on the surface of the adjustment plate 51, each adjustment slot 512 running along the longitudinal direction of the shoe shell 12; several limiting pins 53 are arranged on the upper side of the shoe shell 12, which interact with the adjustment slots 512; each limiting pin 53 is inserted into an adjustment slot 512. Therefore, when the adjustment plate 51 is moved, the limiting pin 53 can be used to limit its movement and prevent it from deviating from the predetermined path, thus ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment of the adjustment plate.

[0032] As in Fig. 1 and Fig.As shown in Figure 3, the present utility model is not limited to the embodiments mentioned above. If modifications or adaptations are made to the utility model that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the utility model and are within the scope of protection of the claims and equivalent techniques, the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and adaptations.
