Abstract

A skate including a chassis formed by an upper horizontal plate solidly joined to the sole of a shoe by fasteners and a lower part running perpendicular to the plate and including at least one lateral flange on which the wheels are disposed by transverse axles solidly joined to the chassis, constituting a rolling train, each of the wheels having a hub in fixed rotation, which is disposed on the axle and which supports a bearing interpolated between the hub and a tire. The hub of the wheel is equipped with an arrangement which allows for its angular deflection relative to its median horizontal plane. The arrangement for angular deflection includes the transverse axle which is horizontally off-center in relation to the virtual center of the wheel which can cooperate by abutment with a fixed axle solidly joined to the chassis which passes through it, and which supports an elastic recoil device.
