ABSTRACT:
Wheel assemblies including bearings for inline skates and skateboards with provision for lubricating. In one embodiment, a wheel is supported by the bearings which are in turn supported by an axle/spacer having a central chamber and at least one port extending therethrough to the inner surfaces of the bearings. Screws secure the axle/spacer to wheel supports of an inline skate or skateboard. At least one of the screws includes an interior passageway to accommodate a nozzle for introducing lubricant and/or cleaner under pressure to the central chamber from which it passes through the port or ports in the axle/spacer to the inner surfaces of the bearings. In another embodiment, a wheel includes a hub which is supported by the bearings which in turn are supported by an axle/spacer. The hub has at least one port extending therethrough from the outside to the inner surfaces of the bearings for the introduction of lubricant and/or cleaner under pressure. In both assemblies the pressurized lubricant and/or cleaner lubricates and/or cleans the bearings by forcing dirt deposits and other foreign materials outwardly from the inner surfaces of the bearings for subsequent removal, such as by wiping with a towel or cloth.
