ABSTRACT:
A pair of brake shoes are secured to a cross frame which is supported behind the rear wheels of a skateboard by a slide member having longitudinal guided movement on the bottom of the skateboard. The slide member is connected to one end of a spring steel strip or link secured at its other end to the skateboard. A vertically movable post-like brake pedal is supported in a bore in the skateboard and has abutting engagement at its lower end against an intermediate portion of the spring steel strip whereby upon depressing the brake pedal, the spring steel strip is bowed downwardly to pull the slide forwardly and cause the brake shoes to engage the wheels. When the brake pedal is released, the resiliency in the spring steel strip causes the slide member and slide to retract. The brake pedal is removably mounted in the skateboard for ready detachment therefrom, and the brake shoes are adjustable to compensate for wear after repeated use.
