Abstract
The present invention relates to a skating device which comprises two footboard assemblies with ground contact rollers or skids; two rods, wherein each rod comprises a distal end and a proximal end. The distal ends of the rods are mounted to the footboard assemblies, respectively, and the proximal ends of the rods are mountable to a common support means located above the footboard assemblies. Each footboard assembly is allowed to move at least in two degrees of freedom with respect to the support means such that a skating movement of the two footboard assemblies with respect to the support means is possible.
Claims15
A skating device comprising:
- two footboard assemblies with ground contact rollers or skids,
- two arm assemblies, each arm assembly comprising:
- an upper arm and a lower arm,
- the upper arms mounted to a steering column at a location above the footboard assemblies and the lower arms mounted to the footboard assemblies, respectively,
- wherein
- each footboard assembly is allowed to move at least in two degrees of freedom with respect to the steering column,
- the upper arm is mounted via a first hinge to the steering column such that a lateral movement of each footboard assembly with respect to the steering column is possible,
- characterized in that
- the upper arm and the lower arm are connected by a second hinge which allows a rotation around an axis which is substantially parallel to the ground during skating movement, and
- wherein said first hinge and said second hinge allow a forward/backward movement of each footboard assembly during the skating movement.
A skating device comprising:
- two footboard assemblies with ground contact rollers or skids,
- two arm assemblies comprises at least a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the distal ends of the arm assemblies are mounted to the footboard assemblies, respectively, and
- the proximal ends of the arm assemblies are mounted to a common support means located above the footboard assemblies, wherein each footboard assembly is allowed to move at least in two degrees of freedom with respect to the support means
- each arm assembly comprises a telescope rod
- characterized in that
- each telescope rod comprises a cylindrical diameter such that a rotational movement around the axis of the rod is possible and a simultaneously lateral and forward/backward movement of the two footboard assemblies with respect to the support means is possible.
