  • Patent number: 7178813
    Abstract: A scooter is described herein having control cables for use in guiding the scooter. In the preferred embodiment a cable is used to straighten the rear wheels which are connected in tandem and a steering column with a t-top is used to steer the front wheels. In an alternate embodiment of the invention a pair of cables are joined to the steering columns and are used on both the front and rear wheels for steering purposes. Both embodiments of the invention utilize a brake assembly connected to a rearward platform extension. When the platform extension is depressed, brake pads engage the wheels to slow the motion of the scooter.

  • Patent number: 4077155
    Abstract: An aerodynamic toy comprising a disc shaped aerodynamic throwing implement of the type adapted to rotate about its axis upon an airborne flight and a member which detaches from the implement after a predetermined number of revolutions of said implement. The member carries a nut which threadably engages a threaded shaft coaxially secured to the rotational axis of the implement. An air foil is rotatably coupled to the threaded shaft and prevents the rotation of the member despite rotation of the implement during flight. Following a predetermined number of revolutions of the implement, the member unscrews from the threaded shaft and descends to the ground via a parachute attached to the member.
