ABSTRACT:
A pair of foot-size metal plates, one atop the other, secured together by a compressible material, the upper plate having a hinged heel portion which can be moved downwardly by heel pressure. The upper plate has straps for attachment to a foot or shoe, and the lower plate has front and rear axles which carry a first and second pair of wheels. The first pair of wheels has disc brakes actuated only upon backward motion of the skate, and the second pair of wheels has disc brakes actuated by levers connected to the hinged heel portion of the upper plate, such that the skate can be stopped by heel pressure of the user. Spring means secured between the hinged heel portion of the upper plate and the rear portion of the lower plate urges the hinged heel portion upwardly to allow forward motion.
