Abstract
A ventilated in-line skate having a boot with a frame that supports a plurality of wheels having the axles in a longitudinal array. Ventilating means for the boot are formed by a rotor having a plurality of vanes that are coaxially mounted and secured for rotation with one wheel. A housing having an opening defining an air scoop encloses the rotor and is connected to one end of an air conduit that may be secured to the frame with its other end in fluid communication with the interior of the boot through a series of openings in the bottom side of the boot. Exit holes or apertures are formed at the rear of the boot to promote escape of air.
