ABSTRACT:
An improved roller skate braking apparatus for applying frictional braking action to the rear wheels of modern roller skates. Insertable brake linings are held in a brakeshoe that is forced against the rear surface of the rear roller skate wheels by means of fulcrum action when the roller skater applies rearward pressure against an elongated C-shaped applicator that is adjacent to the lower portion of the skater's calf area and that is connected to the remaining brake mechanism by a lever. Upon release of the rearward force by the roller skater on the braking applicator when braking is no longer desired, springs, compressed during braking, extend back to their nominal length forcing the brake shoe and linings away from the rear wheels to automatically terminate the braking action.
