Abstract
A kit for modifying an in line skate to role in one direction only consists of locking plate having a rectangular central hole an a shoulder along one edge, a tubular sleeve having a rectangular head sized to non-rotatably fit within the central hole of the plate, and a wheel with a built in one way clutch with a central opening sized to receive the tubular sleeve.
Claims5
A kit for modifying an inline skate having a first frame member and a second frame member parallel to and spaced from said first frame member, said first and said second frame members having opposing pairs of aligned holes therein with each of said opposing pairs of holes receiving an axle, said kit comprising
- a sleeve having an outer surface, a non-circular head at one end, and an inner opening sized to receive one of said axles,
- a locking plate at said one end of said sleeve and said locking plate having a non-circular hole therein for non-rotatably retaining said non-circular head against rotation with respect to said sleeve, and
- a wheel having a one-way clutch therein, said one-way clutch having an inner opening sized to engage said outer surface of said sleeve.
A kit for modifying an inline skate having a first frame member and a second frame member parallel and spaced from said first frame member, said first frame member having a lower edge, said first and said second frame members having opposing pairs of aligned holes therein with each of said opposing pairs of holes having a removable axle extending therethrough, said kit comprising:
- a tubular sleeve having an outer surface and a head at one end thereof, said head having a pair of opposing parallel outer surfaces,
- said tubular sleeve having an axial opening sized to receive one of said removable axles,
- a locking plate having an aperture therein, said aperture having inner surfaces spaced complementarily to said outer surfaces of said head of said replacement axle for non-rotatably retaining said head,
- said locking plate further having a means for engaging said skate for locking said locking plate against rotation with said wheel, and
- a wheel having a one-way clutch therein, said one-way clutch having an inner opening sized to engage said outer surface of said tubular sleeve.
