  • Roller skate
    Patent number: 6443464
    Abstract: A two-wheeled roller skate with canted wheels has an axle for the forward wheel located well forward of the ball of the foot. The axle for the rear wheel is located at the rear of the skater's heel. The wheels are canted so that the front and rear wheels contact the ground on the opposite sides of the center line of the skater's foot. In plan projection, the axles are preferably non-parallel in order to provide steering correction. The amount of steering correction desirable will depend on the skater's skill and the nature of the skating activity. In alternative embodiments, the present invention incorporates novel braking mechanisms.

  • Article with animated display
    Patent number: 6443590
    Abstract: A lateral animation display sequentially illuminates individual images of an animated sequence. The display may be carried on a useful article, such as an item of wearing apparel or the like. An array of light sources illuminates a corresponding array of image frames depicting a stop-action sequence, such as stop-action images of a person running. An optional array of baffles confines light from each of the light sources to a corresponding one of the image frames. The individual light sources are sequentially activated so as to sequentially illuminate the corresponding image frames and thereby present an animated display of the stop-action sequence. A semi-transparent layer over the image frames obscures the images except when illuminated by the corresponding light source.

  • Article with animated display
    Patent number: 6112437
    Abstract: A lateral animation display is carried on a useful article, such as an item of wearing apparel or the like. In one example, a shoe is provided with an integral animated display. An array of light sources is disposed within the shoe. A corresponding array of image frames depicts a stop-action sequence, such as stop-action images of a person running. An optional array of baffles confines light from each of the light sources to a corresponding one of the image frames. The individual light sources are sequentially activated so as to sequentially illuminate the corresponding image frames and thereby present an animated display of the stop-action sequence.
