ABSTRACT:
The braking system for an in-line roller skate is operated by a cable attached to a trigger type of lever in a hand grip. This braking system is improved by incorporating an arrangement for allowing the skater to quickly attach or detach the end of the brake cable at the skate. Locking of the brakes to permit walking without rolling is obtained by incorporating a latch mechanism in the gripper handle. The gripper handle is storable by a snap-on type retainer for the belt or pocket of the user which permits the brake cable to move without unintentionally releasing the retainer from the person of the skater while avoiding kinking and twisting of the cable in response to the normal skating motions of the skater. Retention of the cable relative to the thigh of the user is realized by a belt or other attachment arrangement including a Velcro type of clip.
