First Claim
1. A roller skate comprising a chassis (1) consisting of at least one part equipped with rollers (2, 3, 4, 5) and a boot (6) fixed releasably to this chassis by fastening means which secure the boot to the chassis, at a first location (A) by hooking effected by the mutual longitudinal engagement of a part of the boot (9) and a part of the chassis (7), and at a second location (B) by a toggle-effect fastening device, wherein the toggle-effect fastening device is located in the chassis under the boot and comprises a latch (11;

35) which is articulated to the chassis about a transverse pin and has a pointed end (11a;
23a;
35a) that interacts with a housing on the boot, this latch being capable of occupying two stable positions, namely an obliquely raised position in which its point is out of the housing on the boot, and a lowered position in which its point is engaged in the housing on the boot, in the opposite direction to the engagement at the first hooking location, and kept engaged by the blocking of the toggle joint by exerting, a vertical pressure and a longitudinal thrust in the opposite direction.
