Patent ID: 8177240

Claim:
Roller skate with a plurality of rollers, the roller skate comprising a first frame part that is or can be connected rigidly to a shoe, in which at least one front-most of the rollers is supported rotatably, a second frame part, in which at least two back rollers are supported rotatably, whereby both frame parts are pivotable with respect to one another around a pivoting axis that is parallel to the rotary axes of the rollers, a braking element, which can be pressed against at least one of the back rollers by a pivoting of the two frame parts with respect to one another, and a braking lever which is connected pivotably to one of the two frame parts, the braking lever having a longer force arm that can be loaded during braking with a force by a pivoting of the two frame parts with respect to one another, and having a shorter resistance arm that acts directly or indirectly on the braking element, enhancing the force.
