Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to skates and, in particular, to an in-line skate having an upper shoe portion detachable from the skate frame.
- in-line roller skates and ice skates generally include an upper shoe portion secured by a base to a frame that carries wheels or an ice blade.
- the upper shoe portion provides the support for the skater's foot, while the frame rigidly attaches the wheels or blade to the boot.
- the shoe portion is rigidly attached to an upper portion of the frame by a plurality of fasteners extending through the frame and into the sole of the shoe. Rigidly attaching the shoe portion to the frame requires the skater to have a second set of footwear to wear before and after skating or, because of other restrictions, the skater is unable to wear skates.
- a skater is often burdened with carrying additional footwear for walking or other physical activity when the skates are not in use or are not allowed.
- Prior attempts to eliminate the need for additional footwear include devices that prevent the wheels of an in-line roller skate from turning, thereby allowing the skater to "walk” in their skates.
- the sole of the boot is rigidly fastened to the skate frame and the skate frame itself is typically a rigid member, the skate is unable to flex during walking motion and, therefore, results in an unnatural and uncomfortable walking motion for the wearer.
- Other attempts at eliminating the need for additional footwear have included a separate, flexible shoe portion that is sized to be cradled within a hard skate shell attached to a frame. To attach the skate shell to the shoe, a skater inserts the shoe portion into the skate shell and fastens the -2-
- a skate that has a flexible shoe portion and a detachable skate frame, such that the shoe portion is comfortable to walk in when removed from the skate frame and may be rigidly attached to the skate frame without undesirable movement of the shoe portion relative to the skate frame.
- the present invention provides a skate having a shoe portion detachably secured to a bearing member for traversing a surface.
- the shoe portion has a sole defining a heel end, a toe end, and a metatarsal portion having a metatarsal head area.
- the skate further includes a first latch mechanism pivotably attached to the bearing member for receiving and coupling an attachment surface located in the sole of the shoe portion to the frame.
- a release mechanism is attached to the latch mechanism to selectively release the shoe portion from the latch mechanism.
- the skate also includes an elongate frame having an upper surface and a lower surface. The frame is disposed between, and is attachable to, the sole to the bearing member.
- the skate also includes a second latch mechanism attached to the upper surface of the frame for receiving and coupling a toe attachment surface located in the toe end of the sole to the frame.
- the first latch mechanism is attached to the upper surface of the frame and is adapted to receive and couple a heel attachment surface located in the heel end of the sole to the frame.
- the first latch mechanism is configured as a slotted cylinder adapted to receive and couple the heel attachment surface to the frame.
- the first latch mechanism is pivotable about a vertical axis defined normal to the elongate direction of the frame to selectively secure the heel attachment surface to the frame.
- the first latch mechanism is pivotable between a closed position, wherein the heel attachment surface is nested therein, and an open position.
- the slots of the first latch mechanism are tapered to draw the heel attachment surface downwards against the frame as the first latch mechanism is pivoted into the closed position.
- a first upwardly projecting mount is located on the upper surface of the frame.
- the mount is adapted to support the sole of the footwear at a predetermined location behind the metatarsal head area of the sole and provide stable support to the shoe portion during use of the skate.
- the skate of the present invention provides several advantages over skates currently available in the art.
- the skate of the present invention provides a shoe portion that is detachable from the skate frame, thereby providing the skater with comfortable footwear when detached from the skate frame without requiring the skater to carry additional footwear.
- the skate of the present invention also provides a latch mechanism that enables a solid and secure fastening of the skate frame to the shoe portion, thereby maintaining a rigid connection between the shoe portion and the skate frame during use.
- the latch mechanism of the present invention not only locks the shoe in a stationary position during use, but also provides easy mounting and dismounting of the shoe to the skate frame.

- the bolt 98 includes a threaded stem (not shown) and an enlarged head portion 100.
- the head portion 100 has an outside diameter that is greater than the diameter of the centrally located hole of the web 96, such that when the bolt 98 is threadably received within the lower end of the housing 90, the head portion 100 fastens the housing 90 to the frame 24 while allowing the housing 90 to rotate therein.
- the upper end of the housing 90 projects upwardly from the rearward platform 86 and has a vertically extending first slot 102 bifurcating the upper end thereof.
- the first slot 102 extends normally to the upper surface of the housing 90 for a predetermined distance through the depth of the housing 90.
