ABSTRACT:
A braking device for small recreational vehicles, such as roller skates or skateboards, having brake pads positioned in close proximity to the wheels of the recreational vehicle. The brake shoes are brought into operative contact with the wheels to effect braking under the action of a hand squeezable bulb. The braking assembly transmits the pressure created from squeezing a bulb through a conduit to a pressure activated member, such as an inflatable bladder, to displace the brake shoes to their braking position. Braking pressure may be maintained through the use of a valve. The braking conduit may be easily disengaged from the pressure activated member so that the recreational vehicle may alternatively be used in a conventional fashion having no braking capability.
