Abstract
One aspect of this disclosure is a sliding apparatus. In some aspects, the sliding apparatus may comprise an elongated body containing magnets. The elongated body may comprise a toe end, a tail end, a top surface, and a slide surface. In one aspect, the magnets may be located between the toe and tail ends of the elongated body, spaced apart from one another in the elongated body, and polarized to define top poles oriented toward the top surface of the elongated body and bottom poles oriented toward the slide surface of the elongated body. For example, the magnets may be arranged so the bottom poles have alternating polarities in a direction relative to the elongated body. Related apparatus and systems also are disclosed.
Claims20
A sliding apparatus comprising:
- an elongated body comprising a toe end, a tail end, a top surface, and a slide surface;
- and
- at least three magnets that are (i) located in the elongated body between the toe and tail ends, (ii) spaced apart from one another in a lateral direction extending across the elongated body, (iii) polarized to define top poles oriented toward the top surface and bottom poles oriented toward the slide surface, and (iv) arranged so the bottom poles have alternating polarities in the lateral direction.
A sliding apparatus comprising:
- an elongated body comprising a toe end, a tail end, a top surface, and a slide surface;
- and
- a plurality of magnets that are (i) located in the elongated body between the toe and tail ends, (ii) spaced apart from one another in a lateral direction extending across the elongated body, (iii) offset from the slide surface, (iv) polarized to define top poles oriented toward the top surface and bottom poles oriented toward the slide surface, and (v) comprise a pull force equal to at least a weight of the elongated body.
A sliding apparatus comprising:
- an elongated body comprising a toe end, a tail end, a top surface, a slide surface, and a reinforcing material adjacent the slide surface;
- and
- at least one set of magnets that are (i) located in the elongated body between the toe and tail ends, (ii) spaced apart from one another in a lateral direction extending across the elongated body, (iii) offset from the slide surface, (iv) adjacent the reinforcing material, and (v) polarized to define top poles oriented toward the top surface and bottom poles oriented toward the slide surface.
