APPARATUS FOR SLOWING SKATE AND METHODS

摘要

The invention provides a braking system and methods for slowing or stopping a roller skate having a plurality of wheels. In one exemplary system, at least one braking surface is spaced apart from the wheels. A means is provided between the braking surface and at least one of the wheels for slowing or stopping the wheel such that heat generated when slowing or stopping the wheel is created at the breaking surface and is substantially prevented from reaching the wheel.
