Patent number: 6796617Abstract: A perdurable composite roller skating cylinder and methodology of making the same from low cost readily available commoditized commercial parts. In the in-line roller skating embodiment the cylinder will provide the combine features of long wear life, shock absorption and smooth running through the use of a rigid nylon core or equivalent and an appropriate longitudinal section of flexible polyurethane tubing or equivalent. This embodiment will permit flexure of the outer periphery of the perdurable composite cylinder in response to forces at the outer surface of the cylinder where it contacts the skating terrain surface. As the perdurable composite cylinder provides superior transverse angle joint support and unique cushioning for the foot. These composite cylinder attributes in an in-line skate embodiment will support an expanded dynamic roller skating maneuver repertoire.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2002Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Inventor: T.

Publication number: 20040119328Abstract: This perdurable composite cylinder methodology allows for the inclusion of load cushioning or shock absorbing at the primary site of the generation of the disturbance. This is accomplished because the core to covering interference fit of the composite cylinder form a perdurable mechanical bond between the two parts and the bond is of a constant resiliency at different sections of the resultant cylinder assembly, except at the center stress relieving section. This feature can be used to provide cushioning capability in the rollers for applications where none was present heretofore. This feature may also function to augment or eliminate existing auxiliary shock absorbing mechanisms.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 18, 2002Publication date: June 24, 2004Inventor: T. Edward Black

Patent number: 6561591Abstract: An apparatus includes first and second wheel sections configured to mate in axially opposed relationship to define a rotatable wheel body. The wheel body has a peripheral outer surface extending circumferentially about an axis of rotation and a bearing cavity centered on the axis. Each of the wheel sections has an axial projection and an axial recess configured to receive the projection on the other of the wheel sections. This limits rotation of the wheel sections relative to each other about the axis when the wheel sections are received in the axially opposed relationship.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2001Date of Patent: May 13, 2003Assignee: The Scott Fetzer CompanyInventor: Daniel B.

Patent number: 6482140Abstract: A roller is structured so that one or a plurality of grooves are recessed on an outer peripheral surface of an outer race in a bearing, a part of a synthetic resin tire integrally adhered to the outer race of the bearing is inserted and welded within a groove on the outer peripheral surface of the outer race in the bearing, whereby a firmer adhesion force can be obtained. Accordingly, a more firmly adhered fitting body is prevented from being peeled off from the outer race of the bearing and the tire and the outer race of the bearing are prevented from separately racing even when the bearing is exposed to a heavy load and rotates at a high speed, that is, the roller is adhered so as to prevent the tire and the bearing from rotating relative to each other.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2000Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Tashico CorporationInventor: Shigeru Takatsu
