Abstract A two wheel roller skate including a shoe having a sole, a front wheel carried on a front axle and a rear wheel carried on a rear axle. The skate includes a pair of axle forks each of the axle forks having opposed side portions which receive the axle, and a transverse portion which interconnects the side portion at one end of the axle forks. Each axle fork side portion includes a generally inclined portion engageable with the shoe sole and a generally horizontal portion connected to the transverse portion. The sole includes opposed side slots which receive the unconnected ends of the side portions and a fastener attaches the transverse portion of the axle forks to the sole, the axle fork side portions and the transverse portion fastener providing a three-point connected to the roller skate. The axle forks can be readily connected and disconnected from the shoe sole for replacement of the wheels with wheels having a rounded bearing surface.
A two wheel roller skate, comprising: (a) a shoe, (b) a sole attached to the shoe, (c) front and rear wheel assemblies, each assembly including a wheel, an axle carrying the wheel and an axle fork carrying the axle, the axle fork including: 1. opposed side portions receiving an associated axle in bearing relation, and having first interconnected ends and second unconnected ends, and 2. fastener means selectively operatively attaching said interconnected ends to said sole, the unconnected ends being received by said sole in bearing relation, (d) the sole including front and rear pairs of opposed side slots which receive the side portion unconnected ends in bearing relation, the side portion unconnected ends and fastener means providing a three-point connection to the sole, and (e) said side portion unconnected ends including portions received by the sole slots and bearing margins directly engaging the bottom surface of the sole.
