  • Patent number: 5733213
    Abstract: A roller hockey puck for use in playing the sport of roller hockey on paved surfaces is disclosed which exhibits a minimized coefficient of friction and is thus capable of more freely rolling on an irregular surface, thereby better simulating the behavior of a conventional ice hockey puck on ice. The preferred embodiment roller hockey puck of the present invention uses a spherical roller which is supported by an array of bearings located in the puck body and which extends slightly above the opposing faces of the puck body to minimize friction as the roller hockey puck glides on a paved surface. Annular arrays of runners made of material having a low coefficient of friction are located on and extend out from each of the opposing faces of the preferred embodiment roller hockey puck of the present invention to stabilize the roller hockey puck as it glides on the paved surface.
