ABSTRACT:
A hub assembly for roller skates having a flanged hub with a cylindrical body portion, a flat ring, and a hub plug. The body portion of the hub has a concentric molded opening therein with the ring end thereof adapted to be forced onto the axle nut of a roller skate wheel. The flat ring is disposed over the hub body against the inner surface of the flange so as to permit a plurality of projections on the inside face of the ring to form a frictional connection to the side wall of the wheel, such that rotation of the wheel causes the ring to rotate with the hub acting as a bearing. The hub plug is inserted in the outer end of the hub opening thereby giving a finished appearance. The assembly is preferably of a nylon plastic impregnated with phosphorescent or fluorescent dyes such that the assembly will glow in bright colors under ultraviolet light. The hub and flat ring protect the skate wheel bearings from dust and dirt, and the glowing, rotating rings provide an entertaining display when the skates are in use.
