Abstract
Abstract A pair of common roller skates are modified by replacing the normal metal casters with inflated or solid rubber tires which have braking means attached to the wheels on each of the roller skates. The shoe is attached as an integral part of the skate and balancing rods are provided to the rear portion of the skates. A control belt is worn around the waist of a person desiring to use the skates. The belt has various safety devices attached thereto and further has a bicycle brake lever with a hand grip which has attached thereto a brake cable connecting the brake lever to each of the brake drums on the skates. With this device a person using the skates can cause deceleration and eventual stopping of the skates.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
An improved roller skate in combination with a control belt worn around the user of the skates comprising; a frame having a top surface and two side surfaces extending perpendicularly down from said top surface, a carriage bolt extending through a hole in each of said extending surfaces of said frame, a wheel concentric to said carriage bolt in between said two extending surfaces, a shoe fixedly attached to the top of said frame, an ankle support iron fixedly attached to each of said extending surfaces of said frame, said irons extending perpendicular to and above said top surface of said frame, a disc wheel welded to one side of a rim of said wheel, said control belt fitting around the waist of the user, and braking means fixedly secured to said belt further consisting of: a brake grip designed to be moved by hand operation, a first cable secured to said brake grip, second cables secured to said first cable, one running to each of of the skates to be worn, a disc brake connected to the other end of said cable positioned to engage said disc wheel, whereby upon the brake grip being squeezed by hand, the cables will move upward causing the disc brake to frictionally engage said disc wheel to decelerate and stop said skate.
