ABSTRACT:
An adjustable skate truck assembly is described that is mountable to an elongated skate boot. The assembly includes an upper attachment member with heel and toe pieces for mounting to the sole of the skate boot. A skate truck member is mounted to the upper member, for adjustment to vary the relationship of the upper member and boot to a surface support member on the truck. A drive operatively interconnects the upper attachment member and the skate truck member to move the skate truck member and surface support member laterally, elevationally, or both, relative to the upper attachment member. This enables the skater to adjust lateral positioning of the surface support member relative to the upper attachment member. The drive includes a first drive portion that is situated to laterally adjust a toe portion of the truck member relative to the upper attachment member and boot. A second drive operatively interconnects heel piece and truck to enable lateral adjustment of the heel piece relative to the truck. A third drive at the heel end of the truck is operable to elevationally adjust the height of the heel section of the skate boot relative to the surface support member.
