UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN A. YARGER, OF NEW HAMPTON, IOWA.
ROLLER-SKATE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 333,583, dated January 5,1886.
Application filed January 23, 1885. Serial No. 153,764. (No model.)
To a. whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN A. YARGER, of New Hampton, in the county of Chickasaw and State of Iowa, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Roller-Skates; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
My invention is an improvement in rollerskates; and it consists of a brake adapted to be applied to skates of ordinary and usual construction, or to skates of improved forms.
The invention is shown in the accompanying drawing as perfect as I have at this time been able to make it.
The drawing represents a perspective View of a skate with the brake attached.
In the drawing the body of the skate is marked A, and directly upon the upper part is secured my improved brake. This may be secured in a slot and screwed adj ustably to the upper surface.
The brake consists of a plate, B, and holder O, for the elastic or other material which is to be used on the floor of the rink, to check the The plate B is slotted, as shown at a, whereby it may be adjusted upon the skate to fit the wearers feet. A thumb-screw may be pro- Vided to hold the plate upon the skate, fitted in a recess in the top thereof to be out of the way, or it may be placed underneath. The holder 0 is placed at right angles to the plate B, of which it preferably forms a part. This holder is at the toe of the skate, andis formed of a hollow box shape having side walls, aa, and flanges b b, bent around partly to the front. A piece of elastic or yielding material, prefjust the same; but in most cases it will fit in tightly enough without other means. It will be obvious that by this construction the brake is supported against the toe of the skaters shoe, and is kept from breaking or bending. When it is desirable to apply the brake, the skater tips his foot forward until the elastic material comes in contact with the floor, and thus the progress of the skater is stopped. As the piece D wears it may be replaced by a fresh piece, or washers may be placed beneath the old piece to cause it to rise above the edge of the holder.
I do not limit myself in regard to details, as these may be changed greatly without departing from the spirit of my invention.
What I claim is- A toe-brakefor a rollerskate, consisting of a plate for attachment to the toe of the skate, a holder on said plate, and elastic or yielding material contained in said holder, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of subscribing witnesses.
JOHN A. YARGER.
