ABSTRACT:
A cable operated, in-line skate braking system that is originally or retrofittedly attached to an in-line skate. The braking system has rigid main body portions laterally disposed of the shoe component of the skate and can be part of the right skate, the left skate, or both. An actuating line is anchored at the user's waist, and is connected to the brake mechanism. Rearward of the shoe component, the rigid main body portion projects upwardly and away from the plane of the skating surface, and forms a pair of arms that holds the brake mechanism. The brake is slidably secured to the main body, and moves into contact with the ground when the actuating line is drawn. The skating surface engaging area of the brake body is held such that it is maintained parallel to the ground. The actuating line branches into two actuating cables that pass through guides and pulleys mounted on each of the skate. The actuating cables pass through a loop terminating the actuating line, so as to equalize force acting on each side of the brake.
