Abstract

Disclosed is a skate including base structure attached to and underlying a durable foot covering having heel and toe ends. A first axle is pivoted to the base structure proximate the heel end and has opposing ends. The opposing ends of the first axle carry opposing parallel first and second in-line wheeled frameworks. A second axle is pivoted to the base structure proximate the toe end and has opposing ends. The opposing ends of the second axle carry opposing parallel third and fourth opposing parallel third and fourth in-line wheeled frameworks.

Claims

         1 . Apparatus comprising: 
 base structure attached to and underlying a durable foot covering having heel and toe ends;    a first truck comprising: 
 a first axle pivoted to the base structure proximate the heel end and having opposing ends, and  
 opposing parallel first and second in-line wheeled frameworks, the first in-line wheeled framework secured to one of the opposing ends of the first axle and the second in-line wheeled framework secured to the other of the opposing ends of the first axle; and  
   a second truck comprising: 
 a second axle pivoted to the base structure proximate the toe end and having opposing ends, and  
 opposing parallel third and fourth in-line wheeled frameworks, the third in-line wheeled framework secured to one of the opposing ends of the second axle and the fourth in-line wheeled framework secured to the other of the opposing ends of the second axle.  
   
     
     
         2 . Apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first in-line wheeled framework is in-line with the third in-line wheeled framework.  
     
     
         3 . Apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second in-line wheeled framework is in-line with the fourth in-line wheeled framework.  
     
     
         4 . Apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the one of the opposing ends of the first axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         5 . Apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the second in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the other of the opposing ends of the first axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         6 . Apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the third in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the one of the opposing ends of the second axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         7 . Apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the fourth in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the other of the opposing ends of the second axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         8 . Apparatus comprising: 
 base structure attached to and underlying a durable foot covering having heel and toe ends;    a first wheeled truck attached to the base structure proximate the heel end and a second wheeled truck attached to the base structure proximate the toe end, one of the first and second wheeled trucks comprising: 
 a first axle pivoted to the base structure and having opposing ends, and  
 opposing parallel first and second in-line wheeled frameworks, the first in-line wheeled framework secured to one of the opposing ends of the first axle and the second in-line wheeled framework secured to the other of the opposing ends of the first axle.  
   
     
     
         9 . Apparatus of  claim 8 , the other of the first and second wheeled trucks comprising: 
 a second axle pivoted to the base structure and having opposing ends, and    opposing parallel third and fourth in-line wheeled frameworks, the third in-line wheeled framework secured to one of the opposing ends of the second axle and the fourth in-line wheeled framework secured to the other of the opposing ends of the second.    
     
     
         10 . Apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the first in-line wheeled framework is in-line with the third in-line wheeled framework.  
     
     
         11 . Apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the second in-line wheeled framework is in-line with the fourth in-line wheeled framework.  
     
     
         12 . Apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the first in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the one of the opposing ends of the first axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         13 . Apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the second in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the other of the opposing ends of the first axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         14 . Apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the third in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the one of the opposing ends of the second axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         15 . Apparatus of  claim 9 , wherein the fourth in-line wheeled framework comprises: 
 a coupling secured to the other of the opposing ends of the second axle; and    in-line wheels rotated to the coupling.    
     
     
         16 . A method comprising steps of: 
 providing base structure attached to and underlying a durable foot covering having heel and toe ends;    providing a first truck comprising: 
 a first axle having opposing ends, and  
 opposing parallel first and second in-line wheeled frameworks, the first in-line wheeled framework secured to one of the opposing ends of the first axle and the second in-line wheeled framework secured to the other of the opposing ends of the first axle;  
   providing a second truck comprising: 
 a second axle having opposing ends, and  
 opposing parallel third and fourth in-line wheeled frameworks, the third in-line wheeled framework secured to one of the opposing ends of the second axle and the fourth in-line wheeled framework secured to the other of the opposing ends of the second;
