ABSTRACT:
A skate brake for use on in-line roller skates of the type typically having 3, 4, or 5 wheels in linear alignment. The brake has a channel shaped sheet metal frame that fits around the wheel carriage of the skates. The frame holds a number of brake pads in the spaces between the wheels of the skate. An actuator cable connects the frame to a hand held control lever. When the lever is operated, it causes the frame to slide forward, bringing the brake pads into frictional contact with the wheels to cause a braking action. The brake is simple and lightweight, and it does not interfere with the maneuverability of the skates. The brake is easily adapted for retrofitting onto preexisting in-line skates. Also disclosed, is a method for attaching the hand held control levers of a pair of skates together so that the brake mechanisms can be simultaneously operated with one hand.
