MOTOR CYCLES FOR FEET.
Wheel Skates Which Can Be Used On
the Ordinary Roads.

Attempts have been made from time
10 time to extend the sport of skat-
Ing to ordinary smooth roads. The
reason that roller skates cannot be
used on macadam roads is because
the rollers are of such small diameter
that they drop into every depression
ana unevenness of the road and
check the progress Of the skater.
What is necessary, then, is a
skate with large wheels. But these, if
placed directly under the skaters feet,
will raise him dangerously high. How
ever, the difficulty seems to have been
solved by a Swiss inventor, Mr.. NJ
Roller, Of Winterthur, who has de-
signed the skate shown in the accom-
panying illustration.
1t will be observed, continues the
Berlin correspondent of Scientific
American, that the skates are each
provided with single wheel which is
about a foot in diameter The skaters
foot is supported below the center of
the wheel, and in order that the tread
may come directly below the center of
the skaters foot the wheel is set on
slant. The wheels are dished, compris.
Ing a disk of corrugated metal con-
Meeting the hub with the rim, and also
a series of tension spokes which serve
to stiffen them. The foot support is
on a hanger attached to the
wheel axle, and it is provided with
pair of braces extending upward to
support a strap which is fastened
around the skaters leg above the
ankle. To prevent the wheels from
rolling backward brake is attached
to the foot support and bears against
the inner periphery Of the wheel rim.
This brake is normally out of action,
bat is automatically set as soon as the

wheel starts to reverse it's direction
IT desired, this brake may be thrown
out of action completely to permit the
skater to perform various fancy fig
ures.
In addition to the brake just de-
scribed, the wheel for the left foot is
provided with a rearwardly-exten
arm which the skater may use as a
drag to retard his notion The wheel
for the right foot is provided with a
similar drag arm which also has in
connection with it a brake block that
bears against the inner periphery of
the wheel when the drag arm bears
against the ground, thus furnishing
the skater with quick-acting brake
for use in emergencies. The inventor
also proposes to use motor in con-
nection with each skate wheel, which
will be attached in the manner indi-
Gated In the diagram. The wheel will
be driven by belts running from the
power shaft of the motor to a pulley
groove on the felly of the wheel. Fuel
for the motor can be supplied from a
tank strapped to the back of the
skater. 1t is claimed that wheel skat-
ing can be learned in a very short
time, beginners having acquired the
knack of using them with safety in a
few minutes.
