Description

Detachable inline skates carried in the form of a bracelet

[0001] The present invention relates to inline skates, which are popular sports equipment, and more specifically, to a detachable inline skate that is carried in the form of a bracelet, which can be conveniently used anytime and anywhere without being restricted by time or place due to its improved portability.

[0002] As the importance of leisure activities that pursue quality of life is emerging worldwide, countless new sports-related products are being released. Among them, when looking at inline skates, roller skates, and other improved products that are widely used by the public due to their low entry barriers and ease of enjoyment, inline skates and roller skates are designed specifically for sports and allow for effective enjoyment, but they are inconvenient to carry due to their size and weight, which has resulted in limitations in enjoying sports in daily life.

[0003] To address portability issues, various products featuring wheels directly attached to shoes are being released in the market. While these products significantly improved portability by reducing size and weight compared to inline and roller skates and allowed them to be used as regular shoes, they suffered from the problem of being less functional than the aforementioned dedicated products. Furthermore, their design and practicality failed to meet consumer expectations for use as footwear, resulting in them ending as a temporary trend that could not be sustained.

[0004] In addition, products with wheels that can be attached to and detached from shoes are being released. While detachable products offer high versatility as they allow the use of existing shoes, products with two or more wheels at the front and rear are inconvenient to carry due to their size and weight, similar to the inline skates or roller skates mentioned above. Furthermore, products with wheels attached only to the heels to reduce size and weight are also being released, but since one must ride using only the heels, the ride is unstable and fatigue is high, and this product also has the problem of being inconvenient to carry.

[0005] Existing products as described above had issues with portability, usability, and driving stability depending on the product, causing significant inconvenience for users in enjoying sports.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for research on technology that can improve portability while maintaining the inherent functionality of existing dedicated products such as inline skates and roller skates as much as possible.

[0040]

[0041] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

[0042] FIG. 1 is a front view illustrating a detachable inline skate carried in the form of a bracelet according to a first embodiment of the present invention, worn on a shoe. FIG. 2 is an exemplary illustration illustrating the fixed part and the body part of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a side view of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is an exemplary illustration showing a detachable inline skate according to a first embodiment of the present invention carried in the form of a bracelet. FIG. 5 is an exemplary illustration showing a state in which the body part of FIG. 4 is folded for storage.

[0043] A detachable inline skate carried in the form of a bracelet according to the first embodiment of the present invention may include: a body part (10) configured such that two or more footplates (11) are foldably connected to each other and can be folded; wheels (30) individually configured on the bottom surface of the footplates (11) of the body part (10); and fixing parts (20) configured at a certain position among the footplates (11) of the body part (10) to secure the front and back heels of the shoe, thereby fixing the body part (10) to the bottom of the shoe.

[0044] In the present invention, the body part (10) is described as having three footrests (11) connected to each other in a foldable manner. The footrests (11) may be molded using a rigid metal body or a plastic material. Additionally, the footrests (11) may be connected by a hinge structure or by using a material capable of bending deformation.

[0045] The body portion (10) of the present invention may be configured such that two or more outwardly curved footrests (11) are connected to each other by means of an accessory such as a hinge, and the hinge is configured to fold only inward. Additionally, the body portion (10) may be configured to be folded into a round shape like a bracelet or to be folded as much as possible for storage.

[0046] The reason the hinge is configured to fold only inward is to prevent the body part (10) from shaking up and down or twisting due to unevenness and load while driving, thereby reducing stability, so that it folds only inward in a single direction. Additionally, the footrest (11) that is bent outward forms a curve when worn on the wrist or ankle to improve comfort, and can mitigate road surface shock through a leaf spring effect when passing over unevenness, and can prevent the body part (10) from getting caught on stones, etc. by forming an angle of inclination at the lower end of the body part (10).

[0047] At this time, each footrest (11) constituting the body part (10) may be manufactured in an arch shape that bends outward. Here, "outward" refers to the direction from the bottom of the shoe toward the ground.

[0048] The above fixing part (20) may include a first fixing part (21) in which one end is joined to one footrest (11) of the body part (10) and the other end wraps around and secures the front toe of the shoe, and a second fixing part (22) in which one end is joined to the other footrest (11) of the body part (10) and the other end wraps around and secures the back heel of the shoe.

[0049] The above fixing part (20) is made of a flexible material and can form a joining part (25) that joins to the bottom surface of the shoe and a circular loop part (26) that wraps around and secures the forefoot or heel of the shoe. The size and shape of the joining part (25) and the loop part (26) can be formed differently so that the forefoot side or the heel side of the shoe can be distinguished.

[0050] In addition, the joint (25) is joined to cover the footrest (11) of the body part (10) and the area where the footrest (11) is folded, thereby preventing direct contact between the user's skin and the folded area, and preventing direct contact between the footrest (11) of the body part (10) and the area where the footrest (11) is folded and the bottom surface of the shoe.

[0051] At this time, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the body part (10) is connected to both ends of the body part (10) by one selected from the first fixing part (21) and the second fixing part (22) to form the body part (10) in the form of a bracelet. The body part (10) includes a fixing part (20) formed on a footrest (11) such that one end of the fixing part (20) is connected to one of the footrests (11) located at both ends of the body part (10). The fixing part (50) may have at least two fixing protrusions formed thereon so that the length can be adjusted when fastened in the form of a bracelet.

[0052] The above wheels (30) may be configured with two or more wheels in the longitudinal direction of the body part (10) to ensure stability during driving. The above wheels (30) may be formed so that the wheels (30) rotate by connecting a wheel rotation axis to the outer surface of the arch shape of the footrest (11), or may include forming a wheel (30) on a wheel rotation axis connecting the through hole by forming a through hole in the footrest (11).

[0053]

[0054] FIG. 6 is a front view illustrating a detachable inline skate carried in the form of a bracelet according to a second embodiment of the present invention, worn on a shoe. FIG. 7 is an exemplary illustration illustrating the side (a) and front (b) of the clip member of FIG. 6.

[0055]

[0056] Compared to the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the present invention includes a clip member (40) that wraps around and fastens the side of the shoe to the side adjacent to the bottom surface of the shoe on the footrest (11).

[0057] The clip member (40) may include a fixing clip (43) that wraps around and secures the side of the shoe in the open direction of each footrest (11); and a receptacle (44) that provides a restoring force to pull the fixing clip (43) toward the footrest (11).

[0058] At this time, the fixing clip (43) may form a horizontal portion that contacts the bottom surface of the shoe and a vertical portion that contacts the side of the shoe, and may form a fold portion so that the vertical portion folds inward due to the restoring force when removed from the shoe.

[0059] A spring member to provide a restoring force may be installed inside the above receptor (44). Additionally, the horizontal and vertical sections may be formed by overlapping or bending to form an acute angle of approximately 10 degrees during the initial molding process, and subsequently, when the vertical section is unfolded, they may be manufactured using an elastic body that provides a restoring force.

[0060] At this time, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the vertical part before unfolding may be in a shape that is bent diagonally so that the opposite sides do not overlap each other.

[0061] In addition, the present invention may add a clip member (40) at the location of the first fixing part (21) or the second fixing part (22) of the fixing part (20), or add an additional clip member (40) between the first fixing part (21) and the second fixing part (22) of the fixing part (20) so that the inline skate can be attached to the shoe.

[0062]

[0063] Although the present invention has been described above, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention may be implemented in other forms while maintaining the technical concept and essential features of the invention.

[0064] The scope of the rights of the present invention shall be determined primarily by the claims; however, all modifications or variations derived from configurations directly derived from the descriptions in the claims, as well as configurations equivalent thereto, shall be interpreted as being included within the scope of the rights of the present invention.
