In-line roller skate

Abstract

An in-line roller skate has a boot for accommodating a person's foot, a frame connected to the boot, and at least two wheels connected to the frame at a mutual distance in the skating direction for rideable support of the boot. The frame has a first frame portion and a second frame portion, wherein at least one wheel is connected to each frame portion and wherein the first frame portion and the second frame portion are mutually movable between a riding position and a braking position.

1 . An in-line roller skate, comprising:
 a boot equipped with at least a first wheel;   a mounting bracket connected to the boot and having at least a second wheel;   a brake member connected to the boot and/or the mounting bracket, where at least a portion of the mounting bracket is movable relative to the boot between a riding position, in which the at least second wheel is substantially running clear, and a braking position, in which the at least second wheel is in contact with a brake member;   wherein the first wheel includes an axle located at a fixed position relative to the boot; and   wherein the brake member is fitted above the second wheel of the in-line roller skate.   
     
     
         2 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 1 , wherein the brake member forms part of or is attached to a sole or a heel of the boot. 
     
     
         3 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 1 , wherein the brake member is incorporated in one of the portions of the mounting bracket. 
     
     
         4 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 1 , wherein the movable portion of the mounting bracket comprises a plurality of wheels. 
     
     
         5 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 1 , wherein the movable part of the mounting bracket is rotatable relative to a mounting bracket portion rigidly connected to the boot, and where the two mounting bracket portions are mutually coupled by means of a guide. 
     
     
         6 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 5 , wherein the coupling to the guide is located between the point of rotation of the portions of the mounting bracket and a front side of the in-line roller skate. 
     
     
         7 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 5 , wherein the coupling comprises a slot for guiding a pin therein. 
     
     
         8 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 1 , wherein the movable part of the mounting bracket is enclosed by the mounting bracket portion rigidly connected to the boot. 
     
     
         9 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 8 , wherein the two mounting bracket portions in essence comprise U-profiles that can be put together. 
     
     
         10 . The in-line roller skate of  claim 1 , wherein the movable portion of the mounting bracket comprises a stop to avoid the boot coming into contact with a wheel connected to the movable part of the mounting bracket.
