Claims
- 1. A multi-function roller skate system, comprising:
- a frame having a longitudinal axis along a line of intended travel and having a perpendicular lateral axis;
- a plurality of roller skate wheels longitudinally aligned such that they are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the frame;
- at least an additional two roller skate wheels and at least one wheel support for supporting said additional roller skate wheels laterally opposing one another at a first location along the longitudinal axis of the roller skate;
- said at least one wheel support including adjustment means for adjusting the lateral spacing between said additional two roller skate wheels between a first position in which the two wheels are laterally spaced apart a first predetermined distance and a second position in which the two wheels are adjacent one another centered along the longitudinal axis to cooperatively function as an in-line roller skate wheel.
- 2. The roller skate system of claim 1, wherein said wheel support adjustment means further is adapted to adjust said two roller skate wheels to a third position in which said wheels are laterally spaced apart a second predetermined distance different from the first predetermined distance.
- 3. The roller skate system of claim 1, wherein said adjustment means simultaneously moves said two wheels between the first and second positions.
- 4. The roller skate system of claim 1, wherein said roller skate further comprises means for adjusting the length of said roller skate frame for accommodating differing foot sizes.
- 5. The roller skate system of claim 1 including an additional wheel support for supporting a further additional two roller skate wheels laterally opposing one another at a second location along the longitudinal axis of the roller skate;
- said additional wheel support including adjustment means for adjusting the lateral spacing between said further additional two roller skate wheels between a first position in which the further additional two wheels are laterally spaced apart a first predetermined distance and a second position in which the further additional two wheels are adjacent one another centered along the longitudinal axis to cooperatively function as an in-line roller skate wheel.
- 6. The roller skate system of claim 5 wherein said adjustment means of said additional wheel support simultaneously moves said further additional two wheels between the first and second positions.
- 7. The roller skate system of claim 6 in which said adjustment means of said additional wheel support simultaneously moves both said additional two wheels and said further additional two wheels between the first and second positions.
- 8. The roller skate system of claim 7, wherein said roller skate further comprises means for adjusting the length of said roller skate frame for accommodating differing foot sizes.
- 9. A multi-function roller skate system, comprising:
- a frame having a longitudinal axis along a line of intended travel and having a perpendicular lateral axis;
- a plurality of roller skate wheels mounted to the frame for rotation along the line of intended travel;
- at least one wheel support for supporting at least two of said plurality of roller skate wheels laterally opposing one another at a first location along the longitudinal axis of the roller skate;
- said at least one wheel support including adjustment means for adjusting the lateral spacing between said two roller skate wheels between a first position in which the two wheels are laterally spaced apart a first predetermined distance and a second position in which the two wheels are adjacent one another centered along the longitudinal axis to cooperatively function as an in-line roller skate wheel.
