  • Terrain Traversing Device Having A Wheel With Microhooks

    view source
  • US Patent:
    20130062134, Mar 14, 2013
  • Filed:
    Sep 7, 2012
  • Appl. No.:
    13/606885
  • Inventors:
    Aaron PARNESS - LOS ANGELES CA, US
    Clifford F. MCKENZIE - EAGLE SPRINGS NC, US
  • International Classification:
    B60B 9/02
    B62D 61/10
    B62D 61/00
    B60B 37/00
  • US Classification:
    180218, 280 801, 280 528, 152 1
  • Abstract:
    A terrain traversing device includes an annular rotor element with a plurality of co-planar microspine hooks arranged on the periphery of the annular rotor element. Each microspine hook has an independently flexible suspension configuration that permits the microspine hook to initially engage an irregularity in a terrain surface at a preset initial engagement angle and subsequently engage the irregularity with a continuously varying engagement angle when the annular rotor element is rotated for urging the terrain traversing device to traverse a terrain surface.
