    Patent number: 6435525
    Abstract: A brake for an in-line roller skate consisting of a rubber block (4) fixed to the end of a rigid support (5) at the rear of the skate, and intended to brake the skate by rubbing on the ground. The rigid support (5) has at least one cut-out (13) into which a piece (14) of elastic or viscoelastic material is force-fitted.
