  • Publication number: 20140100045
    Abstract: A ramp system includes at least one ramp component. Each ramp component includes a front surface provided a user sliding thereon and a back surface opposite to the front surface and facing to the ground. The at least one ramp component each has a connecting portion including at least one connecting block and at least one connecting recess spaced by the connecting block. The at least one connecting block and the at least one connecting recess can be assembled with that of other ramp components at random to create a skating facility. These ramp components are easily assembled for use and disassembled for storage and transport.

  • Patent number: 8414007
    Abstract: A balance bike includes a frame, front and rear wheels, a seat, a joining structure, a front fork, and a steering handle. The joining structure is pivotally joined to the frame and pivotal between first and second positions. The joining structure includes a joining end and a receiving end. The front and rear wheels are disposed apart from each other, and the balance bike defines a first longitudinal dimension when the joining structure is in the first position. The front and rear wheels are disposed adjacent to each other, and the balance bike defines a second longitudinal dimension when the joining structure is in the second position. The first longitudinal dimension is larger than the second longitudinal dimension.

  • Patent number: 7144018
    Abstract: There is disclosed an in-line skate with an adjustable length. The in-line skate includes a heel support, a toe support, a positioning element, a pushing element, and a switch. The heel support includes two parallel transverse grooves near a flank, a cavity near an opposite flank, a longitudinal groove between the transverse grooves and the cavity, and a slot therein. The toe support includes a slide put movably in the longitudinal groove and a series of pockets in the slide. The positioning element includes a button put movably in the cavity and two latches put movably in the transverse grooves of the heel support for entering a selective pair of the pockets of the toe support, thus keeping the toe support in selective one of several positions relative to the heel support. The pushing element is put movably in the cavity for pushing the button and hence the latches. The pushing element defines a tunnel.
