ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a special kind of inline skated featuring an extra efficient braking system. Such skates are a sports requisite. As far as is known inline skates with similar characteristics have never been invented or made.
The object of this invention is to create a braking system for inline skates which makes it possible for two brakes to be used simultaneously. This invention is sharply contrasted to a single brake braking system with all its variations (see document U.S. Pat. No. 5,183,275) widely practiced today and which is highly ineffective. Namely, it allows the skater to use one brake only, during braking action) which causes the problem of balance. To solve the problem of balance, the skater must use a brake only to 30-40% of its actual braking power.
By contrast our braking system by putting to work two brakes (at the same time) eliminates the problem of balance and allows both brakes to be used up to 100% of their braking potential from the very beginning of the braking action.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main characteristic of inline skates with two brakes to be used simultaneously according to the invention is that they allow the skater to use both brakes at the same time during braking action. This kind of performance is achieved by the specific construction of the frame, the main feature of which is the introduction of the mobile rear wheel working closely with the mobile braking wheel during braking action. The said wheels are made mobile through their respective rotating carriers. A pair of rear wheel carriers rotate around cylinders incorporated in the frame while a pair of braking wheel carriers rotate around the ends of the same axle. The carriers of both said wheels are interlocked during skating through the notch (on one end) of braking wheel carrier clutching (hooking) the cylinder affixed to the rear wheel carrier. Once the braking action is over, both carriers are pushed back by their respective springs into their starting position to be interlocked eventually.
