Abstract
Improved support and adjustment of the frame on the boot are obtained by providing mounting brackets that extend transversely outwardly and beyond the underlying side walls between which the roller wheels are mounted and that contain transverse mounting slots whose transverse extents are at least as great as the spacing distance between the underlying side walls. Improved parallelism of the axles is obtained by providing diametrically opposed lobes in a mounting hole in one of the side walls at each wheel mount and by providing the corresponding axle head with a complementary shape fitting to that portion of the mounting hole containing the lobes. A tool for installing and removing the wheels from the frame is also disclosed.

An in-line roller skate frame comprising:
- parallel side walls that extend lengthwise of the frame and that are spaced apart transversely of the frame;
- through-aperture means in said side walls to provide for the in-line mounting of roller wheels via axles extending between said side walls;
- mounting bracket means bridging said side walls to provide for mounting of the frame to a skating boot;
- said mounting bracket means comprising wall means that extends both lengthwise and transversely of the frame;
- and through-slot means in said wall means to provide for passage through said wall means of fastening means used to fasten the frame to such a boot;
- said through-slot means having length that extends transversely of the frame;
- characterized in that:
- said wall means extends transversely of the frame over and outwardly beyond both of said side walls;
- and the length of said through-slot means extends transversely of the frame to span at least the spacing distance between said side walls.
