Abstract

The present invention refers to an in-line roller-skate, in particular a roller-skate for racing, comprising a footwear ( 102 ) and a chassis ( 104 ) supporting a train of wheels ( 108 ); the footwear ( 102 ) is provided on the bottom with a sole ( 103 ), which is in turn provided with at least a first and a second binding point ( 105, 111 ) for attachment to the chassis ( 104 ). The first binding point ( 105 ) is positioned in the heel-piece zone of the sole ( 103 ), whereas the second binding point ( 111 ) is positioned in proximity of the foot toe, approximately in the area in which the juncture of the toes lies. The train of wheels ( 108 ) comprises solely wheels ( 108 ) having a diameter of 100 mm, while the chassis ( 104 ) is adapted to accommodate in its interior fastening means ( 107 ) for joining the footwear ( 102 ) to the chassis ( 104 ).

1 . In-line roller-skate, in particular for racing, comprising a footwear ( 102 ) and a chassis ( 104 ) supporting a plurality of wheels ( 108 ), said footwear ( 102 ) being provided on the bottom with a sole ( 103 ), which is in turn provided with at least a first and a second binding point ( 105 ,  111 ) for attachment to the chassis ( 104 ), said first binding point ( 105 ) being positioned in the heel-piece zone of the sole ( 103 ), characterized in that said second binding point ( 111 ) is positioned in proximity of the foot toe, approximately in the area in which the juncture of the toes lies; in that said plurality of wheels ( 108 ) comprise solely wheels ( 108 ) having an oversized diameter; and in that said chassis ( 104 ) is adapted to accommodate in its interior fastening means ( 107 ) for joining said footwear ( 102 ) to said chassis ( 104 ) at said first and said second binding points ( 105 ,  111 ).  
   
   
       2 . In-line roller-skate according to  claim 1 , in which the centre-to-centre distance between said first and said second binding points ( 105 ,  111 ) lies anywhere between 170 mm and 210 mm.  
   
   
       3 . In-line roller-skate according to  claim 1 , in which the centre-to-centre distance between said first and said second binding points ( 105 ,  111 ) shows an increase comprised between 3% and 27% over prior-art centre-to-centre distance values.  
   
   
       4 . In-line roller-skate according to  claim 1 , in which said plurality of wheels ( 108 ) is constituted by at least four wheels having a diameter of 100 mm.
