  • Patent number: 6152842
    Abstract: A hockey puck designed for street and court play reduces frictional resistance between the peripheral puck edge and the play surface, substitutes more durable materials that better emulate puck motion on ice surfaces and emulates the physical properties of an ice hockey puck. The puck incorporates a plurality of runners, preferably fabricated from acetal plastic or other like material, and having a partial disk-shaped exposed surface. The runners are secured within a vulcanized rubber body with the properties of a traditional ice hockey puck, to preserve the authenticity and feel of ice hockey play when playing on non-ice surfaces. Runners engage the periphery of the top and bottom surfaces of the puck body. Symmetrical and equidistant placement of the individual runners better allows even puck maneuverability. The top and bottom sets of runners, are injection molded into the puck body to form one solid piece through the puck, and are also aligned to further balance the puck for dynamic equilibrium in play.
