Inline skates having shock absorbers
First Claim
1. An inline skate comprising:
- a wheel bracket installed to the lower side of an outsole of an ordinary shoe,a plurality of wheels coupled and supported to the inner lower sides of the wheel bracket by shafts,a rotating support coupled to the rear upper side of the wheel bracket by a shaft, and coupled to a connecting protrusion extending from the outsole of the ordinary shoe so as to prevent the wheel bracket from being separated from the outsole,a frame constituting the wheel bracket, and having insertion compartments formed at the inner upper sides for mounting a pair of shock absorbers, a plurality of guide recesses in the direction perpendicular to the insertion compartments, and having brackets, protruding between the guide recesses, for defining desired spaces,a wheel holder having supporting plates in which the wheels are coupled to and supported by the sides of the supporting plate, and inserted into the guide recesses so that the wheel holder is moved vertically by applying an external force, andshock absorbers inserted into the insertion compartments and filled with air so as to dissipate absorb the external force when the wheel holder moves vertically.

Abstract
An inline skate mounting a pair of air tubes is invented for absorbing shock transmitted to its wheels so as to allow the use of rigid wheels, and to protect the rider'"'"'s knees and ankles from shock. The inline skate comprises a frame having insertion compartments for mounting the shock absorbers, guide recesses, brackets for defining desired spaces, and a wheel holder having supporting plates. The wheels are coupled to and supported by the sides of the supporting plate and inserted into the guide recesses so that the wheel holder moves upward and downward when an external force is applied so as to transmit the external force to the shock absorbers. The shock absorbers are inserted into the insertion compartments and filled with air to absorb the external force when the wheel holder moves vertically. Since the wheel holder moves vertically as the skate traverses an uneven surface, the inline skater can balance stably and safely.
