Analytical development support of an innovative inline skate blade
sporting goods product line was completed from concept, through design and
analysis, and manufacture. This project involved working with the lead design
engineer at the client company to develop a totally new concept for ease
of use and maintainability of inline skate blade wheel and chassis mountings.
The final design resulted in a minimal set of parts and configurations that
produced three actual products for the market and for addressing the needs
of the inline skate blade customer and rider. This project has lead to Quigley
Scientific's first World Patent application with the client
company by invitation. The client company and product was mentioned in an
article on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.
