ABSTRACT:
An adjustable roller skate toe stop converter is provided for a roller skate having a toe stop mounting shoulder defining a threaded toe stop mounting bore of a first predetermined diameter adapted to receive and threadingly engage a threaded mounting stud of a first toe stop. The converter converts the skate for use with a second toe stop having a threaded mounting stud of a diameter larger than the mounting stud of the first toe stop. The converter comprises a generally cylindrical block having on one end a small bore and on the other end a large bore, the large and small bores communicating in coaxial alignment to define an annular shoulder between them. A bolt is introduced into the block and is threaded into the toe stop mounting bore of the roller skate to mount the block thereagainst with the head of the bolt bearing upon the annular shoulder in the block. The mounting stud of a second toe stop may then be threaded in the larger bore of the block to position the toe stop at a distance from the block that is variable with the amount of thread engagement. A flexibly hinged wall portion of the block can be clamped tight against the stud of the second toe stop by means of a bolt threaded between the flexibly hinged wall and the remainder of the block for tightening and holding the hinged wall against the stud to lock the toe stop at the desired position and prevent rotation thereof.
