Actuating wheel assembly for inline roller skate

Abstract

An actuating wheel assembly for inline roller skates includes a wheel frame, a plurality of pivot axles in turn mounted on the wheel frame and arranged in a successive manner, and a plurality of rollers each rotatably mounted on a corresponding one of the pivot axles. In practice, at least one roller is adjustably positioned on the respective pivot axle so that the rollers are located on one motional line or located on multiple different motional lines.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An actuating wheel assembly for inline skates comprising an adjustment of positions of wheels in relation to a single motion line, in a substantial enough range to positively effect the stability of an inline skate, thereby improving the usability by a new or inexperienced skater.  
     
     
         2 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the contact area of the wheels with the ground is variable, thereby allowing a shift in mode from one single running line to two or more.  
     
     
         3 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the point of adjustment exists anywhere that can effect the position of the contact patch of the wheels.  
     
     
         4 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the actuating wheel assembly relates to the contact point, and not specifically the adjustment method.  
     
     
         5 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the optimal range of this adjustment includes a substantial enough width to effectively improve the roll stability of the skate.  
     
     
         6 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the optimal range is between 1 mm and 24 mm.  
     
     
         7 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 6 , wherein the preferred optimal range is within the range of 12 to 20 mm.  
     
     
         8 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the wheels are located on at least one motional line or located on multiple different motional lines.  
     
     
         9 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein said actuating wheel assembly comprises: 
 a wheel frame;    a plurality of pivot axles in turn mounted on said wheel frame and arranged in a successive manner; and    a plurality of rollers each rotatably mounted on a corresponding one of said pivot axles;    wherein,    at least one roller is adjustably positioned on said respective pivot axle so that said rollers are located on at least one motional line or located on multiple different motional lines.    
     
     
         10 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 9 , further comprising at least one annular adjusting member mounted on one of said pivot axles and abutting said respective roller for positioning said respective roller at a predetermined position on said pivot axle.  
     
     
         11 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 9 , further comprising at least one adjusting member mounted on said wheel frame and abutting one of said rollers for positioning said roller at a predetermined position on said pivot axle.  
     
     
         12 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 9 , further comprising at least one adjusting member integrally formed on one of said pivot axles and abutting said respective roller for positioning said respective roller at a predetermined position on said pivot axle.  
     
     
         13 . An actuating wheel assembly for inline skates comprising asymmetric wheels mounted in a substantial enough range to positively effect and increase the stability of an inline skate, thereby improving the usability by a new or inexperienced skater.  
     
     
         14 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein the optimal range is between 1 mm and 24 mm.  
     
     
         15 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein some of the asymmetric wheels are located opposite to each other.  
     
     
         16 . The actuating wheel assembly in accordance with  claim 13 , wherein the asymmetric wheels comprises a first wheel, a second wheel, a third wheel located opposite to the first wheel, and a fourth wheel located opposite to the second wheel.  
     
     
         17 . An actuating wheel assembly for inline skates comprising wheels mounted on multiple angular axes of rotation.
