Rolling device steered using the tilting angle and comprising offset rollers

Abstract

The aim of the invention is to improve inline skates so as to provide stability during skating, good acceleration, and added skating fun by having the skates turn more or less in accordance with the tilting angle. Said aim is achieved by a rolling device in which the rollers that are arranged largely one behind another are rotatably mounted in individual roller supports, the roller supports are pivotally attached to the chassis by means of inclined shafts, and the rollers are disposed in a laterally offset manner relative to the center line. In a simple embodiment depicted in FIGS. 4a and b, the steering unit is composed of two respective rollers (2) which are mounted in a rocker-type roller support (3″) in an offset manner relative to one another by a distance (9). The roller support (3″) is pivotally attached to the chassis (not depicted) by means of a shaft (8) which extends at an angle α relative to the horizontal line. The rolling device generally comprises two steering units encompassing a total of four rollers.
