Definitions

  • the invention relates to a braking device for roller skates, in particular single-track roller skates, with a brake block which is detachably connected to the frame or the shoe against the force of a spring, the pivot axis of the brake block being oriented essentially parallel to the axis of the rollers.
  • Braking devices for roller skates in which brake blocks are arranged between the rollers of the shoe and the sole of the shoe so as to be displaceable in the longitudinal direction of the shoe and which interact directly with the rollers, are, for example, US Pat. No. 5,143,387 or US Pat. No. 5,171,032 remove. While the displacement of the brake pads in the subject matter of US Pat. No. 5,143,387 is to take place by curving the toes inside the shoe, a cable pull with a handle has become known for the displacement of the brake pads in the subject matter of US Pat. No. 5,171,032, for example is known for bicycle brakes. These two known devices consist entirely of brake pads which, like the brake devices on bicycles, only interact directly with the rollers.
  • roller skates have brake pads, which are rigidly releasably connected to the frame or the shoe, the braking effect being achieved in that the respective roller skate is positioned relative to the ground surface in such a way that instead of the rollers, the brake pads are now in a frictional connection hit the ground.
  • This conventional type of braking of roller skates has essentially become established, although the braking effect due to the pivoting of the brake blocks relative to the floor surface and the application of the brake blocks against the floor surface sometimes occurs differently abruptly.
  • tension spring pivotable brake pad connected to an extension which interacts with rollers when the brake pad is pivoted.
  • the extension is due to the possible choice of material and material thickness of the connecting part to the brake pad more or less resiliently applied to the rollers, so that an additional but limited braking force is exerted, which is only with multi-track roller skates and simultaneous braking of a plurality of rollers reached an effective level.
  • the aim of the invention is to further develop a braking device of the type mentioned at the beginning using conventional stoppers or brake blocks such that, on the one hand, a gentle initiation of the braking process is possible and, on the other hand, the greatest possible braking force is available if necessary, without there being a risk that braking will bring the rotor out of equilibrium.
  • shoes that are only braked on the rollers require that the weight be shifted simultaneously when the braking process is initiated in order to avoid stumbling and thus a fall, such a shift of the weight takes place when using brake blocks in the manner of stoppers always automatic, so that the risk of falling is significantly lower with this training.
  • the design according to the invention based on 5 of the initially mentioned design of the shoe with a brake block essentially consists in the brake block or the holding part thereof being in or at a distance from the swivel Axial guide is guided and that the brake pad or an extension connected to the brake pad when pivoting the brake pad in or on the guide meets with the tread of at least one roller in frictional contact.
  • the training is advantageously made so ! 5 that the brake pad is connected to a spring plate for a compression spring holding part.
  • brake blocks of the same type can be used as in conventional devices, which, however, can then be connected to the pivotable holder, which must have the spring plate for the compression spring, by screws.
  • a further, structurally particularly simple increase in the braking force and improvement of the desired surface contact and an equalization of the braking effect and the wear of the brake pad can be achieved in that the brake pad or the holding part of the same is at a distance from the pivot axis Elongated hole guide or a slotted guide is guided.
  • the design according to the invention with a brake pad which can be pivoted against the force of a spring enables, in addition to the equalization and the gentle initiation of the braking process, an avoidance of discontinuities in the braking action. - with the highest possible braking forces.
  • the braking effect is achieved by simultaneously or additionally braking at least one roller of the roller skate, which in There is contact with the floor surface, essentially independently of the nature of the floor and grip, the braking force being introduced not by additional measures, but only by the brake being released by pivoting the shoe to place the brake pad on the floor surface.
  • a particularly reliable training can be achieved by the fact that the associated with the brake pad
  • the braking force of the extension is further increased by coherent contact with the bottom surface of the sole or the inclined surface. The same applies to the displacement or pivoting of an additional
  • the design can advantageously be such that the pivot axis of the brake pad or the holder of the brake pad also coexists
  • a particularly good equalization of the braking effect can be achieved in that the compression spring has a progressive Fe- -_. - derkennline, such a progressive Feder ⁇ characteristic curve, for example, by arranging two separate coaxial springs can be obtained as compression springs of different hardness and the harder spring only takes effect after a predetermined displacement of the softer spring.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of a roller skate with the braking device according to the invention
  • 2 shows an enlarged illustration of a partial section through a first embodiment of a braking device according to the invention
  • 3 shows, in a representation analogous to FIG. 2, a modified embodiment of a braking device according to the invention
  • 4 shows a further modified embodiment of a braking device according to the invention in a likewise analog representation
  • 5 shows a partial view in the direction of the arrow V of FIG. 4
  • 6 again in part in section and on an enlarged scale a further modified embodiment by a braking device according to the invention
  • 7 shows a partial view in the direction of arrow VII of FIG. 6
  • Figure 8 also partially in section and on an enlarged scale a further modified embodiment of a braking device according to the invention.
  • a roller skate is generally designated 1, a plurality of rollers or wheels 3 being rotatably mounted in a frame 2.
  • a braking device generally designated 4
  • a brake pad 5 releasably connected to the roller skate or the frame 2 being pivotable against the force of a spring 6 on the frame 2 or on the shell 1 of the roller skate is stored.
  • the frame 2 can be formed integrally with the shell 1 of the roller skate, for example.
  • the brake pad 5 is fixed in a holder 7 by means of a screw 8, the holder 7 with the brake pad 5 being pivotally mounted in the frame 2 about an axis 10 parallel to the wheel axis 9.
  • the friction surface 11 of the brake pad is placed on the floor 12, the holder 7 and the brake pad 5 are displaced against the force of the compression spring 6, the feeling of safety being conveyed by the soft initiation of the braking process which can be achieved by the spring.
  • the holder 7 has a Feder ⁇
  • Brake pad 5 and the holder 7 in the direction of arrow 16 of the extension 15 comes into frictional contact with the tread of the rear wheel 3, so that the braking not only through the contact between the braking surface 11 of the brake pad 5 and 20 the floor 12 but also through the extension 15 rests on the wheel 3.
  • the extension 15 is guided over a bolt 17 in one of two elongated holes 18 and 19 formed elongated hole guide.
  • FIG. 5 A similar embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, the brake pad 5 in turn being detachably mounted in a holder 7 and when the brake pad 5 and the holder are pivoted
  • the pivot axis of the holder 7 coincides with the wheel axis 9 of the rear wheel 3 and instead of the intersecting elongated holes 18 and 19, a curved elongated hole 20 is provided in this embodiment, the center of curvature of the common axis 4 of the wheel 3 and the Holder 7 c corresponds.
  • the extension 15 also comes into frictional contact with the tread of the rear wheel 3.
  • a stop for the Movement of the brake pad 5 is provided on the one hand the limitation of the elongated hole 20 and on the other hand an extension 21 of the frame.
  • a brake roller 22 is rotatably mounted about an axis 23 in the holder 7 of the brake pad 5.
  • the axis 23 is guided in an elongated hole guide 24 so that when the brake pad 5 and the holder 7 are pivoted in the direction of the arrow 16 when the braking process is carried out, the roller 22 comes into contact with the running surface of the wheel 3, as can be seen in particular in FIG .5 is clearly visible.
  • the brake roller 22 has a contour which at least partially encompasses the roller or the last wheel 3. For a corresponding braking effect, the brake roller 22 is mounted in the holder 7 so that it is difficult to rotate.
  • an additional brake shoe 25 is mounted in the holder 7, the holder 7 or the receiving element for the additional brake shoe 25 being guided in a slot guide 27 via a bolt 26.
  • the additional brake shoe 25 partially encompasses the tread of the last wheel 3, so that in this embodiment too, when the brake pad 5 and the holder 7 are pivoted, the last wheel 3 is additionally braked by pressing the brake shoe against the tread of the wheel 3.
