In October 1992, a United States wheel spinner patent was filed by American inventor James (J.D.) Gragg who conceived and invented the original free-spinning spinner in the late 1980s. The American Tru-Spinners Wheel Enhancer spinner patent (United States Patent #5,290,094) was issued on March 1, 1994, making it the first free-spinning wheel spinner patent of its kind.[1] James (J.D.) Gragg from Tulsa, OK has over 80 inventions and is the leader in the field of the "Spinning Wheel Technology" with documented spin tests that stayed in motion for over 18 minutes as recorded by ABC/ESPN cameramen. He also had versions with multiple-spinners that had 27 different spinning mode capabilities and a foreign patent for Tru-Spinners (#187,015) was later issued in October 1997. The Tru-Spinner was so popular worldwide that the illegal pirating was considered to be the largest cases of patent infringement in history. As of June 2007, American Tru-Spinners concluded their first series of litigation against 12 of several illegal spinner pirates within the U.S. Federal Courts where American Tru-Spinners prevailed all and won Federal Summary Judgments against the 12 defendants for Patent Infringement. Permanent Injunctions were also issued against the unprecedented 12 defendants. The awarded settlement amounts memorialized in suit are not to be disclosed and are to remain strictly confidential by Stipulation Order of the Court.
In 2003 on April 29th Davin Wheels was issued a U.S. patent #6,554,370 for a non-adaptable spinning wheel only version called the continuous motion wheel
