  • Publication number: 20070164519
    Abstract: A heeling apparatus includes a shoe with a unique feature in the heel that allows one to walk, run, or roll seamlessly. The appearance is that of normal footwear because of the covert wheel assembly. The stealth wheel in the heel gives one the ability to roll or slide in areas you could only walk. Heeling is a new activity that employs a unique method of rolling and requires a newly learned skill set of balance, positioning, and coordination.

  • Patent number: 6953905
    Abstract: An electrical switch for low to medium wattage applications such as in vehicles, appliances, and the like, includes a flexible, resilient spring member which is operable mechanically to latch the switch in one of two positions while also carrying electrical current to complete an electrical circuit when the switch is closed in one of the two latched positions. The switch may operate in either single pole, single throw or single pole, double throw configuration, and provides at least one audible sound or click in each of its latched positions to indicate its status, and also may include a visual indication of status. Preferably, a conductive, metallic, coil spring is carried by a non-conductive switch actuator, the spring having a contact member that is moved between latched positions by finger pressure of an operator on the actuator to open and close one or more electrical circuits connected to the switch contacts.
