Abstract
A braking device, particularly usable for skates comprising a shoe composed of a quarter which is articulated to a shell associated with a supporting frame for two or more wheels, and comprising at least one traction element which is connected at one end to a tab which protrudes from a braking element which is located in a region which is adjacent to the last wheel and oscillates in contrast with at least one flexible element. In the braking device, the traction element is associated, at its other end, with two levers which operatively interact with the quarter and allow to take up the traction element when the quarter oscillates backward so as to place the braking element in contact with a braking surface.
