A foldable multipurpose apparatus including a tool, a gripping mechanism, and a connecting element, extending along a first axis between the tool and the gripping mechanism, the tool being articulated at one end of the connecting element around a second axis transversal to the first axis, the gripping mechanism being articulated at an opposite end of the connecting element around a third axis separated from the second axis and transversal to the first axis. The second transversal axis and the third transversal axis are perpendicular to each other.

Foldable multipurpose apparatus

A skate including a frame provided with a detachable connection to a shoe and with which mutually inline wheels are associated. The skate further includes a device for temporarily supporting the single frame in a stable position when the shoe is not associated with the frame. The device can be deactivated by the engagement of the shoe with the frame, so as to allow the user to use the skate.

Inline skate

A skate with improved comfort, comprising a frame for supporting two or more wheels, with which a shoe is associated. The shoe has openings which are connected to the outside or to a vapor-permeable surface, and an innerboot, or upper, which comprises a phase-change material that releases or absorbs heat in preset temperature ranges.

Skate with improved comfort

A wheel for skates comprises a hub which is rotatably associable with a pivot and with which a tread is associated. A plurality of grooved regions are formed in the lateral surfaces of the tread and run gradually toward the median plane of the tread, so as to allow optimum stability when the lateral inclination assumed by the skate increases.

Wheel, particularly for rollers skates

A frame particularly for skates, including at least one pair of lateral wings between which pivots are transversely associated, wheels being rotatably associated with the pivots. In the frame, the base and/or the pair of lateral shoulders are constituted by a plurality of first substantially rigid elements which are interconnected, in preset regions, by second elements adapted to cushion stresses and/or vibrations transmitted by the wheels.
