ABSTRACT:
Skate boards, roller skates, and like small vehicles are equipped with a mechanical or hydraulic brake that acts against one side wall of vehicle wheel, and a cooperating stationary assist unit at the opposite wheel face is contacted by the opposite face if the wheel deforms under braking pressure. The brake assembly in hydraulic mode includes a reservoir joined to two drum members that fit between the two wheels and their truck on a single axle, and the drums each house an annular axially moveable friction member that is applied against the inside face of the wheel by hydraulic force. The assist unit is carried on the axle opposite the outside wheel face and substantially conforms in contour to that face. Alternate friction members may be cylinders that are applied to the wheel face offset from the axle, and alternate reservoirs may be attached to the vehicle body or to a remote activating hand lever.
