BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1.—Field of the Invention
1.a.—This present invention relates to an in-line roller skate integral independent suspension system, and more particularly to such a system which provides a chassis supporting multiple break systems, and a removable boot with four integral independent suspension system with opposite pivotally forks axles which improve the skaters supreme dynamic push-off-force forward and backward free style skating and high performance and stability in all surfaces.
2.—Description of the Related Art
2.a.—In-line roller skates have became very popular in the last years for sports and exercises uses, the in-line skates that actually we know and the problem that represent to skaters due to the unfavorable conditions of roads surfaces are only some of the reasons we present our version of this in-line roller-skate present invention, since, they will be to stimulate and to correct the technical problems and those of performances, also, the current in-line roller skate they don't only represent a problem from road surface conditions due to the designs of complex subduing systems, but they rather present technical problems and physiques for the skaters in general, this above problems and many others we will solve with our in-line roller skate present invention.
2.b.—The original idea of the in-line roller skate it was to imitate the ice skate pattern technology, adding a plurality of tandem wheels and rolling systems and also adding a adjustable articulated boots to obtain ankles mobility to be able to enjoy this touching way of skating on-wheels outside of the winter seasons. In-line skates were created by several in-line wheels with hard boot supporting the ankles area to obtain stability and right wheels control and a precise ride, the wheels in particular were manufactured by soft materials and many types of rolling devices that work very efficiently, also, they were designed aerodynamics styles and interchangeable parts and components in some cases these particular in-line skates uses for sport and competition, recently they added simple or complex shock absorbers devices or called suspension system, also, we found a very different configurations of wheels along the skate like alignment of tandem wheels type (V) and others as well as many experiments with braking control system and wheels in different forms.
2.c.—The fundamental real problem with the conventional in-line roller skates, (V) types roller skates and all others types of roller skates with tandem or blades configuration we denominated, the concept of skating patterns, that means, the differences between those conventional roller skates mentioned above and our in-line roller skate, this concept of skating patterns on wheels are specially related to the in-line rollers skates who support any type of trucks or frame devices and all system mounted on, these doesn't represent the way how you normally, skate like you walk or skating as walking, this concept pattern terminology, we can not applied to any conventional above mentioned roller skate system, since their designs and technologies doesn't allow it because the plurality of wheels are mounted on a fixed frame or structural blade called trucks, also this said truck devices supporting any type of parts and components related to the skates and a plurality of wheels aligned lengthwise and attached to the boot in all combinations, excepting our in-line roller skate presented in this invention having a new design and technology concept of the state-of-the-art, integral independent suspension system all parts and components supported without truck or blade devices, allowing our system to be the nearest in-line-roller skate having a high-performances characteristic likes ice skates, with this all full feature aptitude to skating in one, two, tree or four wheels in all combination possible in forward and rearward motion.
2.d.—The next problem with the conventional in-line roller skates, are the boot system designs and the articulated boot system gives to the ankle certain flexibility forward and backward on short movements and technically divides the boot in two parts otherwise the skater would not be able to move his ankles, this particular articulated ankle design and rigid boot body in ice skates and in ours skates not longer required, we have designed inside the boot a anatomical-frame support and behind this anatomical-frame we support independently the whole front and rear boot structure and both anatomical-frame support the entire fixation from the removable boot system to the chassis system, at the same time the said removable boot system support all attached parts and components. The Followings U.S. Pat. Numbers discloses in brief descriptions many of the backgrounds and acknowledge of each invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,298,209, Peters, granted in Nov. 3, 1981, disclose a roller-skate and not disclose a in-line-roller-skate, in this patent matter, Peters doesn't relate to an integral independent suspension system in which all forks axles pivotally in forward motion and opposite direction from each other, removable boot, and chassis supporting multiple brake systems.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,909,523, Olson, granted in Mar. 20, 1990, disclose an in-line-roller skate which includes a lightweight frame and brake of synthetic material reducing vibrations and shock of road bumps, in this patent matter, Olson doesn't relate to an integral independent suspension system in which all forks axles pivotally in forward motion and opposite direction from each other, removable boot, and chassis supporting multiple brake systems.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,280,930, Smathers et al., granted in Jan. 25, 1994, disclose a hydraulic braking mechanisms system for in-line-roller skates, our braking system are mechanically operated and not support or contain any hydraulic conduit device to brake, in this patent matter, Amathers et al., doesn't relate to an integral independent suspension system in which all forks axles pivotally in forward motion and opposite direction from each other, removable boot, and chassis supporting multiple brake systems.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,303,940, Brandner, granted in Apr. 19, 1994, disclose a plurality of angular V type mounted tandem wheels over a plurality of independent trucks or plates which support each angular wheel, in this patent matter, Brandner doesn't relate to an integral independent suspension system in which all forks axles pivotally in forward motion and opposite direction from each other, removable boot, and chassis supporting multiple brake systems.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,340,131, Smathers et al., granted in Aug. 23, 1994, disclose a hydraulic single hand-operated braking actuator system for in-line-roller skates, our braking systems are mechanically and independently operated and not hydraulically and or hand-operated, in this patent mater, Smathers et al., doesn't relate to an integral independent suspension system in which all forks axles pivotally in forward motion and opposite direction from each other, removable boot, and chassis supporting multiple brake systems.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,342,071, Soo, granted in Aug. 30, 1994, disclose an in-line-roller skate, which includes a front and rear pivotable base, a front and rear brake assembly mounted in the front and rear of the bottom of the base, our front brake-device are mounted in the front portion of the skate boot and supported by the chassis and never touch the front wheel to produce a positive wheel stop, the Soo front and rear break assembly touch the front and rear wheel to produce a positive stop, our rear braking system assembly are mounted in a rear body-frame of the suspension and mechanically operated when the rubber base touch the top of the rear wheel or interacts with the central brake rolling devices, Soo system configuration are totally incompa
