Abstract
A braking control device for skates including a shoe having a toe portion at a forward location and a heel portion at a rearward location, and a pivoting quarter, and the shoe being connected with a chassis having a plurality of wheels at least one of which interacts with a brake device, The braking control device has structure allowing to transfer a braking force to the at least one wheel up to a presettable value, which is preferably close to the value required to lock the at least one wheel and beyond which an excess force is substantially not transferred to the at least one wheel. The brake device includes: a braking block pivoted to the chassis; and a bar connected at a first end to the quarter and slidingly engaged in a seat of a rearward protrusion of the braking block, and the bar has at a second end thereof a T-shaped tip forming a head abutting against the protrusion of the braking block.
