Abstract:
1. An in-line roller skate, comprising: a boot; a frame connected to the boot having a first frame portion rigidly connected to the boot, and a second frame portion movable relative to the boot; a frame shaft rotatably coupling the second frame portion to the first frame portion, and extending transverse in a skating direction; at least one first wheel on the first frame portion located at a fixed position relative to the boot; a front second wheel connected to the second frame portion, and located in the skating direction in front of the frame shaft; a rear second wheel connected to the second frame portion, and located in the skating direction behind the frame shaft; a brake member connected to at least one of the boot and the first frame portion, or to both the boot and the first frame portion; wherein the second frame portion is rotatable relative to the boot between a riding position, in which the rear second wheel is substantially free to rotate, and a braking position, in which the rear second wheel is in contact with the brake member to cause the brake member to exert friction on the rear second wheel; wherein the brake member is fitted in a fixed position above the rear second wheel, and wherein a stop of the frame limits further movement of the second frame portion in respect of the first frame portion in the riding position to avoid the front second wheel connected to the movable second frame portion coming into contact with the boot or the first frame portion.
