Abstract:
A braking device for skates comprising a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell associated with a supporting frame for two or more wheels, and comprising at least one flexible traction element which is connected at one end to a tab which protrudes from a braking element which is located in a region which is adjacent to a last wheel and oscillates in contrast with at least one flexible element, said at least one traction element being connected, at its other end, with at least one lever articulated to said shell, said at least one flexible traction element being adapted to be tensioned and taken up when said quarter oscillates backwards so as to tension and take up said flexible traction element to actuate said braking element, said at least one traction element comprises a band or a cable which has a first end which is associated with a braking element and a second end which is associated with a median region of a first lever which is freely pivoted, at one end, to two mutually parallel second wings which protrude downwards from a first base which is rigidly coupled to the rear of said shell, the corresponding end of a second lever being articulated to the other end of said first lever, said second lever being in turn freely slidingly associated, at its other end, at an adapted seat formed to the rear and axially with respect to said quarter.
