| Abstract: |
A uni-wheel skate has a circular wheel which has a rim arranged to rotate about a frame having a generally tilted axis so that the rim rotates in a plane which is generally tilted relative to the vertical. The frame has satellite rollers rotatably attached to the frame and engaging the rim so as to permit the rim to rotate about the frame. A foot support is pivotally carried by the frame and receives the rider's foot for transmission of the rider's body load to and through the frame to the wheel. A separate support is associated with the frame to be rotatable relative to the frame to be engaged with the rider's leg to maintain stability. The pivotable foot support may be provided with brake pads for engaging the rim.

I claim:
1. A uni-wheel skate, comprising
- (a) a circular wheel having a rim arranged to rotate about a generally tilted axis so that the rim rotates in a plane which is generally tilted relative to vertical,
- (b) a frame relative to which the rim rotates,
- (c) satellite rollers rotatably attached to the frame and engaging the rim so as to determine the relative rotation of the rim with respect to the frame, and
- (d) support means carried by the frame to receive the load of the rider's foot for transmission of the rider's body load to and through the frame and rollers to the wheel, said support means comprising a foot plate which is rotatably mounted to the frame to be rotatable relative thereto,
- (e) and including a separate support associated with the frame to be rotatable relative to the frame, said separate support engageable with the rider's leg to maintain stability.
