ABSTRACT:
A roller skate brake for a roller skate having at least two rolling wheels mounted in-line. Each rolling wheel has a circumferential surface and is rotatably mounted to the roller skate about a rolling wheel axle. The brake includes a braking wheel also having a circumferential surface. The braking wheel is rotatably mounted about the roller skate about a braking wheel axle approximately parallel the rolling wheel axle. The braking wheel is mounted to the roller skate so that the circumferential surface of the roller skate wheel can be brought into contact with the circumferential surface of the rolling wheel. The brake also includes a braking lever for braking the rotation of the braking wheel when in contact with the rolling wheel, thus braking the rolling wheel. The circumferential surface of the rolling wheel is generally convex and the circumferential surface of the braking wheel may be generally concave. The braking wheel may have a plurality of ribs disposed on and extending away from the circumferential surface of the braking wheel.
