  • Ground engaging skate brake
    Patent number: 5564718
    Abstract: A skate brake system includes a rocker arm that pivots about the rear of a skate so as to bring a brake pad into contact with the skating surface when the rocker arm is activated. The rocker arm is mechanically activated so that the skater need not perform any special body movement so as to raise (or lower) the toe of the skate. Accordingly, the angle of the skate relative to the ground remains constant while the brake is applied.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 1994
    Date of Patent: October 15, 1996
    Assignee: Out of Line Sports Inc.
