CA 2169939

The braking mechanism has two generally L-shaped levers (8), one on each side of the skate. Each lever has two arms, namely an upwardly projecting arm (10) and a rearwardly projecting arm (12), pivotally connected to the chassis of the skate where the arms intersect (14), such that each upwardly projecting arm extends upwardly in general alignment with the skater's leg, and that each rearwardly projecting arm extends rearwardly from the chassis, the rearward distal ends having a brake pad (16) secured beneath them. The upper distal ends may be connected to a pivotable boot cuff (5), but preferably instead have a generally C-shaped cup (18) extending laterally between them, positionable behind the skater's calf or against a liner (4) of the boot. Rearward rotation of the skater's calf relative to the boot produces rearward movement of the upper distal ends, thereby moving the brake pad downwardly.

Ce mécanisme de freinage a deux leviers (8) ayant la forme générale d'un L, un sur chaque côté du patin. Chaque levier a deux bras, en l'occurrence un bras faisant saillie vers le haut (10) et un bras faisant saillie vers l'arrière (12), connectés pivotants au cadre du patin à l'endroit (14) où les bras se rejoignent. Les bras faisant saillie vers le haut sont sensiblement alignés avec la jambe du patineur et les bras faisant saillie vers l'arrière portent à leurs extrémités distales un tampon de freinage (16) fixé sur leur face inférieure. Les extrémités supérieures distales peuvent être reliées à une guêtre pivotante (5) ou, de préférence, avoir la forme générale concave d'un C (18) s'étendant latéralement entre elles et venant se positionner contre le mollet du patineur ou contre un renforcement (4) de la chaussure. La rotation vers l'arrière du mollet du patineur par rapport à la chaussure produit un mouvement vers l'arrière des extrémités distales supérieures, ce qui provoque la descente du tampon de freinage.
