  • Patent number: 7387303
    Abstract: A spinner apparatus retained on a wheel to change and enhance the appearance of a roller skate. The spinner apparatus includes a support member connected to the wheel by first and second leg passing through spokes in the hub and resiliently positioned adjacent the outer face of the wheel. The support member has a plurality of radial slots that extend from adjacent an axial opening that receives an axial projection on a disc to position the disc in a plane adjacent the outer face of the wheel. The support member rotates with the wheel while the disc independently rotates in the axial opening of the support member and as a result any light that passes through the first and second plurality of slots is interrupted to illustrate a difference in the rotation of the wheel and disc.
