Abstract
Abstract A toe stop mounting for the type of street roller skates that contain a channel-shaped soleplate, a flat toeplate attached to the top of the soleplate, a toe clamp assembly attached to the bottom of the toeplate, and a front roller truck assembly attached to the bottom of the toeplate. The toe stop mounting includes an elongated strap of rigid material which is attached to the bottom of the channel-shaped soleplate between the side edges thereof and which is shaped to depend downwardly from the soleplate in front of the front roller truck assembly and then to extend upwardly toward the front end of the toeplate. A resilient toe stop member is attached to the bottom surface of the elongated strap in the upwardly extending region thereof. The strap is approximately equal in width to the inside dimension of the channel-shaped soleplate so that it receives lateral support from the side edges of the soleplate and is shaped so as to make contact with the front portion of the front roller truck assembly and toe clamp assembly for support purposes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
In a roller skate structure including a channel-shaped soleplate having a substantially flat top and a pair of substantially parallel side edges depending downwardly therefrom, a toeplate attached to the upper surface of said soleplate, a toe clamp assembly mounted to the bottom of said toeplate and projecting downwardly, and a front roller truck assembly attached to said soleplate and extending downwardly therefrom, the improvement comprising an elongate strap of rigid material attached to the bottom of said soleplate between said side edges thereof and depending downwardly from said soleplate in front of said front roller truck assembly and then extending upwardly toward the front end of said toeplate, and a resilient toe stop member attached to the bottom surface of said elongate strap in the upwardly extending region thereof, said elongate strap being shaped to make contact with the front of said front roller truck assembly and wIth the bottom of said toe clamp assembly when said resilient toe stop member is pressed against a surface over which the skate is moving.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
173 words
In a roller skate structure including a channel-shaped soleplate having a substantially flat top and a pair of substantially parallel side edges depending downwardly therefrom, a toeplate attached to the upper surface of said soleplate, a toe clamp assembly mounted to the bottom of said toeplate and projecting downwardly, and a front roller truck assembly attached to said soleplate and extending downwardly therefrom, the improvement comprising an elongate strap of rigid material attached to the bottom of said soleplate between said side edges thereof and depending downwardly from said soleplate in front of said front roller truck assembly and then extending upwardly toward the front end of said toeplate, and a resilient toe stop member attached to the bottom surface of said elongate strap in the upwardly extending region thereof, said elongate strap being shaped to make contact with the front of said front roller truck assembly and wIth the bottom of said toe clamp assembly when said resilient toe stop member is pressed against a surface over which the skate is moving.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
81 words
The improvement defined in claim 1 wherein said resilient toe stop member is attached to said elongated strap by means of a threaded stud which projects from said resilient toe stop member and extends through a bore in said elongated strap, and wherein said strap is shaped to provide contact between the end of said threaded stud and the bottom of said toe clamp assembly when said resilient toe stop member is pressed against a surface over which it is moving.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
The improvement defined in claim 2 wherein the width of said elongated strap is approximately equal to the inside width of said channel-shaped soleplate whereby said strap will receive lateral support from the sidewalls of said channel-shaped soleplate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
The improvement defined in claim 3 wherein said toeplate, soleplate, and elongated strap are connected together by means of a threaded stud attached to said toeplate and extending downwardly therefrom through bores in said soleplate and elongated strap, and a nut attached to the end of said threaded stud.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
160 words
In a roller skate structure including a channel-shaped soleplate having a substantially flat top and a pair of substantially parallel side edges depending downwardly therefrom, a toeplate attached to the upper surface of said soleplate, and a front roller truck assembly attached to said soleplate and extending downwardly therefrom, the improvement comprising an elongate strap of rigid material attached to the bottom of said soleplate between said side edges thereof, said elongate strap being shaped to depend downwardly from said soleplate in front of and adjacent to said front roller truck assembly and then to extend upwardly toward the front end of said toeplate, and a resilient toe stop member attached to the bottom surface of said elongate strap in the upwardly extending region thereof, said elongate strap being resilient whereby when said stop member is pressed against a surface, said elongate strap may flex to insure engagement with said roller truck assembly thereby to gain support from said engagement.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
160 words
In a roller skate structure including a channel-shaped soleplate having a substantially flat top and a pair of substantially parallel side edges depending downwardly therefrom, a toeplate attached to the upper surface of said soleplate, and a front roller truck assembly attached to said soleplate and extending downwardly therefrom, the improvement comprising an elongate strap of rigid material attached to the bottom of said soleplate between said side edges thereof, said elongate strap being shaped to depend downwardly from said soleplate in front of and adjacent to said front roller truck assembly and then to extend upwardly toward the front end of said toeplate, and a resilient toe stop member attached to the bottom surface of said elongate strap in the upwardly extending region thereof, said elongate strap being resilient whereby when said stop member is pressed against a surface, said elongate strap may flex to insure engagement with said roller truck assembly thereby to gain support from said engagement.
