  • Patent number: 5336097
    Abstract: An electrical power distribution system is provided with an elongate track and a plurality of power tap assemblies that are engageable with the track. The power tap assemblies may be moved to any desired location along the track. Power may be fed into the track through one of the assemblies and taken out of the track through another of the assemblies. Receptacles may be mounted to one or more of the power tap assemblies. A latch system can hold the power tap assemblies in (1) a fully inserted, electrically engaging orientation and (2) an electrically disconnected orientation wherein the components are still supported on the track. The components employ spring terminals which establish electrical contact through a surface-to-surface butt engagement with a conducting member. Mechanical key systems are provided for preventing improper mounting of the components on the track and for preventing the connection of more than one power in-feed to the track.

  • Patent number: 5106110
    Abstract: A unicycle roller skate comprises a fork frame including a top plate and a plurality of angularly related opposed pairs of wheel mount arms at their upper ends secured to front, rear and central portions of the top plate. The arms converge downwardly and upon their opposite sides terminate in a pair of slotted axle supports. A tire on a iron and having a hub journaled upon an axle is interposed between the pairs of arms with the axle nested within the slotted supports and secured thereto. A caliper brake depends from the top plate and includes friction pads spaced from opposite sides of the rim. A flexible cable at one end adjustably depends from a handle and at its other end operatively engages the brake caliper. A pivotal brake actuator upon the handle is connected to the cable for selectively applying tension thereto.
