Antiskid device for inline skates

Abstract

The present invention provides an antiskid device which covers inline skate wheels and which can be folded onto itself so as to become half as long. In this way, it is much easier to conceal inside a pocket or a pouch.

1 . An antiskid device for inline skates comprising: 
 a plurality of wheel receptacles to receive inline skate wheels;    said wheel receptacles further comprised of a high friction means joined to a pliable and resillient main body;    a pair of straps releasably attached to said antiskid device to strap around said wheels and releasably attach to an assembly base by releasable attachment means;    a pliable hinge to link each pair of wheel receptacles together to the next adjacent pair of wheels in line, to allow clamshell folding of said antiskid device.    
   
   
       2 . An antiskid device for inline skates as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said shell being pliable and resillient so as to allow for different diameters of said inline skate wheels to fit inside said receptacles.    
   
   
       3 . An antiskid device for inline skates as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 a plurality of wheel receptacles to receive inline skate wheels;    said wheel receptacles further comprised of a high friction means joined to a pliable and resillient shell.    
   
   
       4 . An antiskid device for inline skates as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 said main body being of plactic resin coninjected with a high friction elastomer material.    
   
   
       5 . An antiskid device for inline skates as in  claim 1  wherein: 
 two straps are fixedly attached to said antiskid device with one of said straps being wrapped around a front wheel and back down overlapping itself and going up in a “V” pattern to terminate at a point on said wheel assembly base of said inline skate, and    the second of said straps doing a similar pattern but around a rear wheel;    said straps being secured to said assembly base by attachment means.    
   
   
       6 . An antiskid device for inline skates as in  claim 5  wherein: 
 said straps being releasably attached to said assembly base by hook and pile means.
