JOSEPH REINHARD 23 Cambridge Terrace W. in the County of London
Engineer ALBERT RITTER 21 Tenison Street York Road Lambeth in the County
of London Engineer and HORACE CANNON 36 Charlotte Street Fitzroy Square in
the County of London Tutor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be
as follows:-
A wheel adapted to road skates and the like.
The wheel is made or cast in two halves, each having a flange, the inner circum-
ference of each fit into one another, one of the halves having a male the other a
female thread.
The pneumatic or other tyre is placed on one half and the other is screwed up
tight locking the tyre completely.
Also a fluted foot plate for road skates and the like, giving greater strength and
lightness.
Also, a detachable leg guard or support for road skates and the like-this inven-
tion is especially adapted to ladies skates and can also be adapted to ice skates, the
advantage being that a lady can wear the leg guard, unseen, and can put on, or take
off the skate in public without any inconvenience.
The improved detachable leg guard is made to fit the calf of the leg and is
fastened by two straps in front.
The two sides of the leg guard are kept in position for adjusting on to the pivot
or ankle joint of the skate by a metal half hoop rivetted at the back.
The ends of the leg guard are provided with a horizontal slot so as to fit into
the socket of the ankle joint the rivet of the ankle joint going into the slot. It is
locked in its place by a lever pivotted on the side of the guard which enters the
slot completing the round bearing to the rivet of the ankle joint. The lever is
furnished with a small catch pivotted to it which has an eccentric slot that, when
pushed down, passes round a stud on the leg guard and forces the lever into its
proper position any other suitable fastening can be adopted.
