Abstract:
A composite rigid braking structure comprised of a chassis of an in-line roller skate, a rigid support (5; 18; 23), and a rubber block (4; 18), wherein the rubber block (4; 18) is rigidly and non-pivotally fixed to the end of the rigid support (5; 18; 23) at the rear of the skate, wherein the rigid support (5; 18 ; 23) rigidly connects the rubber block and the chassis and wherein the rigid support (5; 18, 23) has at least one cut-out (13; 25) into which a piece (14; 26) of elastic or viscoelastic material is force-fitted in a position isolating it from contact with other moving components and in a manner which permits the brake to absorb vibrations induced during braking.
