Abstract A skate board wheel brake assembly is shown having a foot activated, resilient brake arm secured near the rear end of a skate board with the arm having a first portion having brake shoes thereon and formed to be in close proximity to the rear wheels of the skate board and a second extended portion having a brake depressor formed at the end thereof, so that downward pressure by the user on the brake depressor causes the brake shoe to apply braking force to the rear wheels of the assembly. In one embodiment, the skate board wheel brake assembly may be mounted to a skate board having conventional wheels mounted thereon. In a second embodiment, the skate board wheel brake assembly includes the rear wheels and is attached to the rear end of a conventional skate board. In a third embodiment, the brake assembly is molded to be integral with the skate board.
A skate board wheel brake assembly for providing a braking force to the rear wheels of a skate board comprising: a resilient brake arm molded to be integral with said skate board, said brake arm including a first portion formed to be in close proximity to said rear wheels of said skate board, brake shoe means mounted on said first portion of said resilient brake arm adjacent said rear wheels, and said brake arm further including a second extended portion having brake depressor means formed at the end thereof, whereby the depression of said brake depressor means urges said first portion toward said rear wheels to thereby urge said brake shoe means into contact with said rear wheels to thereby provide braking force to said rear wheels.
