Abstract
An improved braking system is disclosed in which a pair of conical braking members engage a pair of skate wheels through vertical movement of a pushrod that is actuated by movement of the skater's foot within a cuff. The braking members are separated by a spring disposed on an axel to maintain the braking members in optimal braking position. The braking members are serrated to promote frictional contact with the wheels, and a disk is positioned on the axel to act as a clutch to control the braking force.
