Title: Innovations by James B Skarie

Introduction

James B Skarie is an accomplished inventor based in Minnetonka, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of traction enhancement through his innovative patents. With a total of 4 patents, Skarie has developed solutions that improve the coefficient of friction between surfaces, enhancing safety and performance.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for a traction enhancing aggregate. This invention comprises a body with a side featuring a top and bottom, each equipped with three or more protruding conical masses. These masses are positioned about a circular centerline and are made from moldable material. This design allows for easy delivery by hand or through a traction enhancing system to a lower surface, such as the ground, thereby increasing the coefficient of friction between an upper surface, like a shoe or tire, and the lower surface.

Another notable patent is for traction media and traction enhancing systems for dispensing such media. This invention includes a plurality of axes with a distal origin point and proximal point termination, surrounded by one or more faces to form a body. This body can be delivered to a lower surface, such as the ground, to enhance friction. Additionally, it features a relative air movement duct that provides a controlled path of flow through about a 90-degree angle, facilitating the delivery of traction media from a hopper/valve assembly to the ground.
