Wheel for an in-line skate

Abstract

A wheel for an in-line skate has a hub and a tire. The hub has an inner segment, multiple flat spokes and an outer segment. The inner segment is annular and has a center, an external surface and an axle hole. The axle hole is formed through the center of the inner segment. The flat spokes are formed on and protrude radially from the external surface of the inner segment and each flat spoke is X-shaped and has two fins. The adjacent flat spokes may be arranged with a lateral deviation. The outer segment is connected to the flat spokes and is concentrically mounted relative to the hub. The tire is formed as a signal piece around the outer segment of the hub. Therefore, the wheel is lighter and improves shock absorption of the wheel.

1 . A wheel for an in-line skate comprising
 a hub having
 an inner segment being annular and having
 a center; 
 an external surface; and 
 an axle hole being formed through the center of the inner segment; 
 
 multiple flat spokes being formed on and protruding radially from the external surface of the inner segment and having different widths and being arranged as an alternating wide, thin arrangement and each flat spoke being X-shaped, being arranged alternately with a lateral deviation between two adjacent spokes and having two fins; and 
 an outer segment being annular, concentrically mounted relative to the hub and connected to the flat spokes; and 
   a tire being formed as a signal piece around the outer segment of the hub.   
   
   
       2 . The wheel for an in-line skate as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the outer segment has multiple elongated holes formed through the outer segment. 
   
   
       3 . The wheel for an in-line skate as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the tire is made of transparent plastics. 
   
   
       4 . The wheel for an in-line skate as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the tire is made of transparent plastics.
