A floating storage box includes a box that may contain objects. A first float is coupled around the box. The first float is comprised of a buoyant material to float the box when the box is placed in water. A pair of wheels is each rotatably coupled to the box to roll along a support surface. A pair of legs is coupled to the box to abut the support surface. A first lid is hingedly coupled to the box such that the first lid selectively closes the box. A second lid is hingedly coupled to the first lid.

A foot lever assist mechanism permits transport dollies to be more heavily loaded, saving the worker additional trips to deliver the entire supply. The lever assist may be configured to move from dolly to dolly, being secured by a pair of thumb screws or welded in place, secured to the axle. An auxiliary feature of this lever assist is the provision of a telescoping ladder-like extender and an extra long base which maximizes the advantage this foot lever assist mechanism provides.

The pull cart includes an extendable handle, where the sleeve fits over the extendable handle. Further features of the pull cart includes a base and a set of wheels, where the base supports the cylindrical body. The plurality of pockets may includes a towel pocket and other pockets for accessories related to the yoga practice. A bottle holder is provided on the cylindrical body to hold a water bottle.

A collapsing blade comprising an upper and lower handle section joined at the rear by pivotal means; a set of arms pivoted upon the lower handle section, a rear blade pivoted on the upper handle section by means of an embracing body; a front blade comprising a hollow portion and an edged portion pivotally attached to said arms and rear blade; wherein by angular rotation of handle sections the blade assembly is arranged from collapsed to extended configurations.

A wheel assembly, a wheeled device and a method of manufacturing a wheel assembly. The wheel assembly includes a core and an outer portion coupled to the core. The core includes a body and one or more projections extending from the body. Material of the outer portion may be positioned radially between the body and a portion of the projection to limit radial movement of the outer portion relative to the core. The projection may define a bore and/or an undercut. Material of the outer portion may encompass the projection and fill the bore and/or the undercut. Engagement of the material of the outer portion and the projection(s) may limit relative movement between the core and the outer portion radially, axially, circumferentially, etc.

In a method of operating a payload-carrying vehicle having a system configured to provide torque to ground contacting elements, the method includes, repeatedly measuring a force applied by a user to the vehicle; determining a direction and a magnitude of the measured force; determining a respective amount of torque to apply to each of the ground contacting elements as a function of the determined direction and magnitude; and providing the respective determined amount of torque to each of the ground contacting elements.
