ABSTRACT:
A skate brake system includes a carriage that pivots about the rear of a skate so as to bring a brake pad into contact with the skating surface when activated by a hand-activated actuator. The skater need not perform any special body movement to raise (or lower) the toe of the skate, and, accordingly, the angle of the skate relative to the ground remains constant while the brake is applied. In another embodiment, a plunger canister contains a plunger that brings a brake pad into contact with the skating surface when the plunger is actuated by a hand-activated actuator.
