ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a roller-skating boot, more particularly a roller-skating boot, which can support the wearer thereof relatively stably on a surface, and which allows the wearer to easily change the moving direction as well as perform various maneuvers
Kickboards, inline skates, skateboards, and roller skates have been very popular for a long time. Skating on them is the favorite sport for many people, especially young people. A kickboard basically includes a wheeled skateboard, and a handle connected to the front end of the skateboard for the user to control the direction. An inline skate has several wheels arranged in one line and connected to the sole of a boot part thereof. Skating on a pair of inline skates to perform various maneuvers and move quickly is very popular with teenagers.
However, beginners are prone to fall over when skating on inline skates because the wheels of each inline skate are arranged in one line, unable to support the user as stably as roller-skates, each of which has four wheels arranged in two lines.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, it is a main object of the present invention to provide a roller-skating boot which can stably support the user skating on it on a surface.
And, it is another object of the present invention to provide a roller-skating boot, of which the support for the frontmost wheels can be unlocked to be movable from a fixed position according to needs. It is a third object of the present invention to provide the roller-skate boot such that the movement of the support of the front wheels is limited to a certain range when the support is in the unlocked position.
The roller-skating boot has a wheel support turnably fitted to a connecting member connected to the front end of the sole thereof. The wheel support is equipped with two front wheels at two ends such that the boot has two side-by-side arranged front wheels and other wheels, which are arranged in one line behind the front wheels. The wheel support has a protrusion movably confined in a guide trench of the connecting member such that the change of the orientation thereof in relation to the sole is limited to an appropriate range.
