Abstract
A suspension for a wearable device configured to selectively provide roller transportation, the suspension including an axle configured to be at least partially circumferentially restrained along a length of the axle, wherein the axle is movable about a center of rotation located along a suspension axis of the suspension that is substantially coincident with an axis of rotation of a wheel assembly carried by the axle.
Claims21
A suspension for a wearable device configured to selectively provide roller transportation, comprising:
- an axle at least partially circumferentially restrained along a length of the axle;
- wherein the axle comprises a center of rotation located along a central axis of the axle;
- and
- wherein an end of the axle that is coincident with the central axis of the axle is selectively rotatable about the center of rotation along a partial spherical sweep in both a forward-rearward direction and an upward-downward direction while maintaining a location of the center of rotation.
A suspension for a wearable device configured to selectively provide roller transportation, comprising:
- an axle comprising an axle axis, the axle being at least partially circumferentially restrained along a length of the axle so that rotation of the axle about the axle axis is restricted;
- wherein the axle is rotatable about a center of rotation that is coincident with the axle and located along the axle axis;
- and
- wherein, while maintaining a location of the center of rotation, an end of the axle that is coincident with the axle axis is movable to substantially all points coincident with a circular perimeter of a spherical section having a spherical section center coincident with the center of rotation.
A suspension for a wearable device configured to selectively provide roller transportation, comprising:
- an axle comprising an axle central axis, the axle being at least partially circumferentially restrained along a length of the axle;
- wherein, while maintaining a location of the center of rotation, an end of the axle that is coincident with the axle axis is selectively orbitally movable about a center of rotation that is coincident with the axle and the axle axis;
- and
- wherein the selective orbital movement comprises a first orbital path and a second orbital path that intersects the first orbital path.
