ABSTRACT:
A brake assembly for roller skates. The brake assembly operates on two inline wheels which have a brake drum extending outwardly from them. The brake member is pivotally held so that it contacts the brake drums on the two inline wheels. The brake may be activated by a mechanical link attached to a pivoted horseshoe shaped device surrounding the ankle portion of the skate. Alternatively, it may be electrically activated by a potentiometer which may either be moved by the rearward movement of the skater's ankle, or by the rearward movement of the skater's toe.
