ABSTRACT:
A braking system for an in-line roller skate includes a generally U-shaped brake bracket and a brake pad mounted thereon. The brake bracket is pivotably mounted on the wheel bracket of the in-line roller skate such that the bracket pivots about a generally transverse horizontal pivot axis. A brake actuator including a handle and lever is provided. A cable extends between and is connected to the brake actuator and the brake pad, the cable operative to pivot the brake bracket upon engagement of the brake actuator, thus causing the brake pad to frictionally engage a wheel of the skate. Finally, a spring extends between and is connected to the brake bracket and the shoe of the in-line skate, the spring operative to bias the brake bracket away from the wheel of the skate thereby stopping frictional engagement between the brake pad and the wheel.
