Abstract
Abstract A pair of rollers for roller-skates comprising a hollow mandrel equipped with a projection for attachment to a shoe support. Said mandrel is fixed in rotation and has, at each extremity, a ball-bearing carried on a rotary spindle and held axially by resilient washers. The rotary spindle extends, at each end, beyond the extremities of the mandrel and has rollers mounted on it and held axially by washers, ensuring watertightness, and a lateral support ring. The mandrel has a valve halfway between its extremities.
