<p>The present invention relates to a brake system for use on roller skates. The brake system is mounted at the rear of the skate and activated by movement of the cuff. In contrast to traditional designs, where the ground engaging brake pad is pivotally connected to the frame of the skate, the brake pad is designed to slidingly move in an extension at the rear of the frame. Thus, when the cuff of the skate is pivoted rearwardly, the brake pad is moved by translation in the frame extension to engage the ground surface. The invention also extends to an improved brake pad assembly for use with a roller skate.</p> |
