Abstract
A skate structure for in-line roller skates includes front and rear blocks adapted to be connected to the toe portion and the heel portion, respectively of a skate shoe. A pair of elongated wheel support frame members are slidably connected to opposite sides of the front and rear blocks and a plurality of in-line wheels are rotatably supported between the frame members. The slidable connection between the frame members and the blocks is provided by a pair of longitudinally extending grooves formed in opposite sides of each of the front and rear blocks and an inwardly extending appendage on each of the frame members. The grooves and appendages have a mating configuration which will prevent lateral separation of the frame members from the blocks while permitting longitudinal sliding movement of the blocks relative to each other on the frame members to accommodate different size skate shoes prior to securing the blocks to the frame members.
