ABSTRACT:
An in-line skate has a wheel mounted on a rocker arm so as to be pivotable toward and away from the main platform. The pivoting is restrained by a compression spring whose pre-load is adjustable with a screw arrangement. A fixed brake pad depends downwardly an adjustable distance from the main platform in the vicinity of the rocker arm mounted wheel. As the user tilts the platform the rocker arm and its associated wheel are pivoted toward the fixed brake pad. When the wheel contacts the brake pad, further tilting pressure arrests the wheel rotation and thus generates a frictional braking force between the wheel and the support surface.
