Interchangeable axle suspension spacer slider system and method of making same

Abstract

An interchangeable axle suspension spacer system of method of using same, in conjunction with an in-line skate frame, wherein the system includes a wheel means and shock absorbing apparatus having multiple layers, wherein certain layers are compressed within an embedded wall while others allow the for restricted tracking along a determined path, and wherein the system enables an individual to interchange, customize, and replace the shock absorbing apparatus amid operation of in-line skates.

1 . An interchangeable axle suspension spacer system for use with an in-line skate, wherein the skate includes a boot, a frame and a plurality of wheels, said system comprising:
 an axle mounted suspension spacer slider apparatus, wherein said suspension spacer slider further comprises:
 a suspension dampening means; and 
 a spacer slider tracking means; 
   a mounting means for joining wheels to said suspension means and to said frame of said in-line skate.   
     
     
         2 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 1 , wherein said frame includes openings being surrounded by a larger in cut recessed portion, thereof that said suspension spacer slider apparatus is receivable and securable in said recessed portion during operation of said skate by a mounting system. 
     
     
         3 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 1 , wherein said frame further includes an inboard side, possessing an inside and outside sidewalls, as well as an outboard side, possessing an inside and outside sidewalls, to attach the axle mounted suspension spacer slider apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 1 , wherein said spacer slider tracking means is made out of a material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, plastic, metal, wood, rubber, composite materials, namely, fiberglass and carbon fiber. 
     
     
         5 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 1 , wherein said axle suspension spacer slider system further comprises a removable suspension spacer slider tracking unit attachable to the wheel and inline skate means having a through bore and a central tube or liner. 
     
     
         6 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 5 , wherein said removable suspension spacer slider tracking unit is attachable to said inline skate means by mounting hardware means. 
     
     
         7 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 6 , wherein the shock absorbing and dampening means is made out of a material selected from the group consisting of polyurethane, plastic, metal, wood, rubber, composite materials, namely, fiberglass and carbon fiber. 
     
     
         8 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 5 , wherein the spacer slider tracking means allows the suspension spacer slider tracking unit to move independently upwards in a fixed direction tracking path, along the larger in cut recessed portion on the sidewall of the inline skate frame means of  claim 2 . 
     
     
         9 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 1 , wherein the frame of said skate is selected from the group consisting of flat rocker, anti-rocker, suspension and freestyle. 
     
     
         10 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 1 , wherein the frame of said skate is made out of material selected from the group consisting of plastic, wood, composites, namely, fiberglass and carbon fiber. 
     
     
         11 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 6 , wherein the shock absorbing and dampening means is active when it is compressed into the inboard or outboard sidewall of the inline skate frame whilst the attached wheel incorporated in the inline skate frame encounters uneven pavement. 
     
     
         12 . The axle suspension spacer slider system of  claim 6 , wherein the shock absorbing and dampening means travel through a predetermined and limited path defined by an in cut recessed grooved slot present on the inboard and or outboard of an inline skate frame. 
     
     
         13 . A method of independent axle mounted frame spacer suspension on an in-line skate frame, utilizing an interchangeable axle suspension spacer slider tracking unit creating a shock absorption and dampening apparatus, wherein certain components are compressed within an embedded wall while others allow the for restricted tracking along a determined path said shock absorption and dampening apparatus further comprises a slider spacer tracking path means, a shock absorbing means, an inline skate wheel means for distributing forces encountered by said wheel means and a mounting means, for securing said wheel and shock absorption apparatus to said frame of said in-line skate, the steps comprising:
 a) selecting an axle suspension spacer slider tracking unit, possibly first   attaching said shock absorbing means to said spacer slider tracking means to create said shock absorption and dampening apparatus;   b) attaching said axle suspension spacer slider tracking unit said frame means by a insertion or attachment to said frame inboard and outboard inside and or outside sidewalls;   d) inserting said wheel means to said frame means in between the in board and outboard sidewalls of; and   e) attaching said wheel means to said frame by a mounting means, inserted through bore and a central tube or liner of said shock absorption and dampening apparatus.
