Roller assembly for an in-line roller skate
View Patent ↗The present invention discloses a roller assembly of an in-line roller skate, the roller assembly comprising a roller frame and a plurality of roller wheels, of at least two different sizes, which are fastened pivotally with the roller frame, such that the roller assembly may rock forwards and backwards upon a surface.
1. A roller assembly of an in-line roller skate, said roller assembly comprising:
a roller frame;
a front roller wheel, at least two middle roller wheels and a rear roller wheel pivotally and linearly received in the roller frame, each of the roller wheels being received in a predetermined, unchangeable position in the roller frame;
said front roller wheel having a first radius;
said at least two middle roller wheels having a same second radius greater than the first radius;
said rear roller wheel having a third radius greater than the second radius; and
wherein the middle roller wheels and the rear roller wheel define a same plane tangent thereto, the center of the front roller wheel being located at a distance from the plane greater than the first radius, and the distance being equal to the second radius.
2. The roller assembly as defined in claim 1 , wherein the front and middle roller wheels are engageable to a same planar surface while a gap is defined between the rear roller wheel and the planar surface.
3. The roller assembly as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first radius is about 36 mm, the second radius is about 38 mm, and the third radius is about 40 mm.
