Wheeled skate device
First Claim
1. A wheeled skate device comprising:
- a) a frame configured to be movably disposed over a support surface, and having a platform with an upper surface configured to receive a foot of a user thereon;
b) at least one primary wheel, rotatably coupled to the frame, configured to roll on the support surface;
c) the at least one primary wheel having a primary axis of rotation located at a height above the upper surface of the platform; and
d) an auxiliary wheel, rotatably coupled to the frame, configured to roll on the support surface.

Abstract
A wheeled skate device has a pair of large primary wheels coupled to a platform. The primary wheels rotate about primary axes of rotation in both forward and rearward directions. A binding can be disposed on the platform to secure the user'"'"'s feet. The primary axes are located at a height above the platform or binding. The skate device can have a universal wheel coupled to the platform which rotates about a secondary axis of rotation. The universal wheel also pivots about a vertical pivot axis such that the universal wheel turns with the platform without sliding on the support surface. The wheels cooperatively operate in a travel mode and spinning mode.

27. A wheeled skate device comprising:
-
a) a frame configured to be movably disposed over a support surface, and having a platform with an upper surface configured to receive a foot of a user thereon;
b) at least one binding, coupled to the frame or the platform, sized and shaped to extend over the foot of the user to secure the foot of the user to the platform; and
c) a pair of primary wheels, rotatably coupled to the frame, configured to roll on the support surface; and
d) the primary wheels each having
1) a diameter greater than a height of the upper surface of the platform, and
2) a primary axis of rotation located at a height above the upper surface of the platform; and
e) a universal wheel, rotatably coupled to the frame, rotating about a secondary axis of rotation which is oriented generally horizontally, the universal wheel further pivoting about a generally vertical pivot axis. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
