Abstract: A wheel for a celestial running vehicle which enables the celestial running vehicle to sufficiently exhibit its desired running performance by maintaining a sufficient ground contact length, as well as reducing the wheel maximum width and the number of the sliding portions.
Abstract: Manufactured sections of a support collar which inter-engage to form the appearance of a continuous support collar and which are secured together and secured to ceiling joists form a support surface for a ceiling dome. Each of the collar sections include a grooved recess for receipt of a lighting element. End portions of the collar sections having inter-engaging male and female portions to secure the collar sections together and provide the appearance of the continuous support collar. The collar sections additionally have a weight displacement pan mounted on top of the dome to distribute weight forces of an attachment suspended from the dome.
Abstract: A wheel and brake system is provided for a vehicle having a wheel with an inner wheel, an outer wheel generally concentric with the inner wheel, and a plurality of resilient members connecting the inner and outer wheels together for resilient movement therebetween. The brake mechanism has a mounting block adjacent the inner wheel and a lever arm pivotally connected thereto for movement between a braking position and a non-braking position. The lever arm has a cam follower with a cam engaging portion that allows the lever arm to move from its non-braking position toward its braking position which in turn causes movement of the cam follower from a disengaged position toward a wheel-engaging position. The cam follower has a wheel-engaging portion adapted for frictional engagement with the inner wheel when the cam follower is in its wheel-engaging position.
