Filed: 2006-01-19
Abstract: A device has movable arms attached to a base of a vehicle at a pivot. The pivot forms a forwardly and downwardly extending axis. The movable arms terminate in ground-contacting supports, such as wheels or ice skate blades. The ground-contacting supports are biased towards a positive camber and toe-out position and extendable towards a zero camber and zero toe position when a downward force is applied to the pivot. A  rearward ground-contacting support, such as a wheel or ice skate blade, is connected to the base for stability and to enhance forward motion. The base may be the sole of a boot, such as for roller skates or ice skates, a skateboard, or a scooter.

Title: Method for producing a metallized image on a sheet material and device for carrying out said method
Inventor: MAXIMOVSKY SERGEI NIKOLAEVICH
IPC: B44F1/00
Filed: 2004-07-09
Abstract: The inventive method for producing a metallised image on a sheet material consists in impregnating said material with a metal salts-containing solution and in exposing the specified material points to a pulse laser radiation. The interaction of said pulses with the solution within a laser spot initiates a photochemical reaction resulting in a metal ion reduction into the elementary state thereof by associating the required number of electrons and in the deposition of metallic film which is firmly fixed to the filler of the sheet material in the laser spot area on the material surface. In the case of the sufficient laser radiation power, a recess is formed on the sheet material surface and the metallic film is deposited on the bottom thereof. The inventive device for carrying out said method for producing a metallised image comprises means for impregnating the sheet material with the metal salts-containing solution and means provided with a laser pulse generator for fixing a metal to said sheet material, a unit for controlling the pulse intensity and a unit for focusing pulses to the specified points of the sheet material.
