Skate shoe with bayonet-like closure made up of two half-axes

A method for mounting two half-axles in a horizontal bore of a skate shoe, said skate shoe comprising:

• a shoe having a sole with a horizontal bore passing through said sole;
• a first half-axle inserted into a first side of the horizontal bore with said first half-axle having an inner end and an outer end and with a first wheel attached to said outer end of said first half-axle, said inner end of said first half-axle being located within the horizontal bore and having a first flattened portion with a first half and a second half thereof with said second half of said first flattened portion being closer to said first wheel;
• a second half-axle inserted into a second side of the horizontal bore with said second half-axle having an inner end and an outer end and with a second wheel attached to said outer end of said second half-axle, said second side of the horizontal bore being a side at an opposite end of the horizontal bore relative to said first side of the horizontal bore, said inner
• end of said second half-axle being located within the horizontal bore and having a second flattened portion with a first half and a second half thereof with said second half of said second flattened portion being closer to said second wheel, said first flattened portion and said second flattened portion overlapping within the horizontal bore;
• a first recess is located in said second half of said first flattened portion of said first half-axle;
• a second recess is located in said second half of said second flattened portion of said second half-axle;
• a first detent lug located on said first half of said first flattened portion of said first half-axle, said first detent lug being complementary with said second recess of said second half-axle;
• a second detent lug located on said first half of said second flattened portion of said second half-axle, said second detent lug being complementary with first recess of said first half-axle;
• a first pivot for pivoting said second detent lug of said second half-axle into said first recess of said first half-axle;
• and,
• a second pivot for pivoting said first detent lug of said first half-axle into said second recess of said second half-axle,
• said method comprising the steps of:
• partially inserting said first half-axle into the first side of the horizontal bore;
• partially inserting said second half-axle into the second side of the horizontal bore until said inner end of said second half-axle contacts said inner end of said first half-axle;
• securing said first half-axle against rotation about its longitudinal axis;
• pivoting said second half-axle about its longitudinal axis until said first flattened portion and said second flattened portion lie opposite one another relative to the longitudinal axis of each said first half-axle and said second half-axle;
• completely inserting both said first half-axle and said second half-axle into the horizontal bore along their respective said longitudinal axis until said inner end of each of said first half-axle and said second half-axle abut an end of said flattened portion of said second half-axle and said first half-axle, respectively, and so that each of said first detent lug and said second detent lugs opposite said second recess and said first recess, respectively;
• securing said first half-axle against rotation about its longitudinal axis;
• and,
• pivoting said second half-axle about its longitudinal axis to the extent that each of said first detent lug and said second detent lug engages, respectively, said second recess of said second half-axle and said first recess of said first half-axle.
