ROLLER SKATE WITH LEG ACTUATED BRAKE

摘要

IMPROVED ROLLER FOOTWEAR DEVICES Roller footwear devices, such as roller skis and roller skates, having sets of wheels on spaced apart parallel axles mounted on a web supporting foot-fastening means as well as a brake arranged to act on at least one of the wheels. A brake-actuating device is operatively associated with the brake via an intermediate actuation device so arranged as to cause the brake-actuating device to activate the brake by action from the leg or knee region on moving the latter substantially at right angles to the axles of the wheels starting from a position adopted by this region during normal operation of the device.
