Abstract:
An assembly of a pair of wheeled skate-skis with one hand and fingers operated hydraulic braking system for use on most terrains: comprisinga) each of the wheeled skate-skis of this assembly, comprising: i) a chassis having a foot receiving body portion, with fastener receiving holes, two upwardly curved two spaced forked ends, one at each end of the chassis, each one having axle receiving holes and other receiving holes; ii) a binding secured by fasteners to the foot receiving body portion of the chassis; iii) fasteners for securing the binding to the chassis; iv) a front wheel assembly, having an axle and fasteners, positioned on the chassis using the axle receiving holes and the fasteners; and v) a rear wheel assembly, having an axle and fasteners, positioned on the chassis using the axle receiving holes and the fasteners, and also having a brake drum sized cylindrical receiving volume to accommodate some of the components of a hydraulic braking system; and b) a hydraulic braking system of this assembly, comprising: i) a hand and fingers operated control to apply, change, and release hydraulic fluid pressure, having a housing, a handle extending from the housing, a cylinder and piston positioned in the housing, serving as a brake master cylinder, a pivotable lever for moving the piston and positioned by the housing, and an attachment location on the housing to receive a hydraulic fluid line; ii) a subassembly of some components of the hydraulic braking system located at the rear wheel assembly: having in the brake drum sized cylindrical receiving volume, a brake drum, a sole, resilient, curved, spring brake shoe, with two respective free ends, brake lining arranged in two pads on the respective two free ends, brake cylinder assembly of two pistons within a cylinder, a portion of a fitting, having a fluid passageway, connected to the brake cylinder assembly, and the remaining portion extending out of this receiving volume, serving as an attachment location to receive a hydraulic fluid line, and having, in addition, outside and adjacent to this receiving volume, a brake components mounting bracket mounted about the axle of the rear wheel assembly; to position the fitting having the fluid passageway; to receive a fastener for securing the brake shoe to this brake components mounting bracket; and to receive a fastener for positioning this brake components mounting bracket in a non rotating location adjacent to a fork end position of the chassis; iii) a hydraulic fluid line assembly; having portion of a hydraulic fluid line extending from the hand and finger operated control to a waist high center back locale of a person when she or he would be using the wheeled skate-skis; a hydraulic tee to receive this portion of the hydraulic fluid line; two like portions of a hydraulic fluid line, each extending from the hydraulic tee and on to the fitting having the fluid passageway connected to the brake cylinder assembly located at the rear wheel assembly; and two alike hydraulic fittings, each used to connect the respective hydraulic fluid line extending from the hydraulic tee to the fitting having the fluid passageway connected to the brake cylinder assembly, thereby completing the hydraulic fluid line assembly of this assembly of a pair of wheeled skate-skis with hand operated hydraulic brakes.
