Abstract
A braking device is provided for an in-line skate where the braking device selectively alters the motion of the in-line skate depending upon the angulation of the in-line skate relative to a surface. As a user angulates or tilts the in-line skate, the braking device increasingly engages the surface to provide a braking force to alter the motion of the in-line skate.
Claims8
A braking device adapted for interconnection to an in-line skate, comprising:
- a slider receiver having an inner diameter, a proximate end, and a distal end;
- a slider partially disposed in said slider receiver, said slider having an outer diameter that is less than said inner diameter of said slider receiver;
- a ball partially disposed in said slider, said ball having a diameter that is less than said outer diameter of said slider;
- and
- a biasing device having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said biasing device interfaces with said proximate end of said slider receiver, and wherein said second end of said biasing device is operatively interconnected with said ball.
