Ladder tree stand dolly and method
Apparatus and method for transporting a section of a ladder tree stand or a stack of ladder tree stand sections and for transporting a harvested big game animal. The apparatus consists of a frame, a single wheel, an axle and a clamp. The axle is attached to the frame and the wheel is mounted on the axle. The clamp is used for clamping the frame to a ladder tree stand section or sections so that a hunter can transport the ladder tree stand section or sections by pushing or pulling the ladder tree stand section or sections on the wheel of the frame.
APPARATUS FOR TRANSPORTING VEHICLES
An improved dolly particularly suited for the secure transport of disabled vehicles in a repair shop is described. Specifically, the locations of both the points of contact with the vehicle and the points of contact with the ground may be configured independently from one another. This configurability allows the dolly to contact the vehicle in the most optimally secure locations, while also contacting the floor in the most convenient configuration so as to accommodate obstructions and irregularities in the floor.
Self-lubricating SLZ-type tow dolly assembly
A self-lubricating SLZ-type tow dolly assembly provides a self-lubricating bearing sleeve operable in an SLZ-type tow dolly. This serves to negate the need for grease fittings and manually greasing of the spindle bushing. The self-lubricating bearing sleeve press fit into a spindle bushing disposed in a spindle assembly to lubricate the spindle bolt. This facilitates rotational motion against the spindle bolt. In one embodiment, the self-lubricating bearing sleeve is a self-lubricating Igus M250 bearing sleeve that press fits into dolly pivot bushings. Rotational and linear motion creates pressure that discharges incremental amounts of the lubricant. Thus, self-lubricating bearing sleeve serves as a self-lubricating, pivot-point bearing sleeve. The self-lubricating bearing sleeve may be a plastic component with a lubricant integral therein. This allows for self-lubricating of bushing and spindle components during rotation of spindle assembly. In alternative embodiments, a trip assembly and a spindle assembly operate in the self-lubricating bearing sleeve.
Dolly for a Water Vessel
A dolly for a water vessel is an apparatus that facilitates the transportation of a water vessel on land. The apparatus serves as a universal attachment for water vessels. The apparatus includes left brace assembly, a right brace assembly, a connector bar, a first roller assembly, and a second roller assembly. The left brace assembly and the right brace assembly attach onto a transom of a water vessel. The left brace assembly and the right brace assembly may be adjusted to accommodate transoms of varying heights. The connector bar mounts the left brace assembly with the right brace assembly, thereby positioning the first roller assembly and the second roller assembly. The first roller assembly and the second roller assembly uplift the water vessel and rolls the water vessel across the ground. The apparatus further includes a cradle mechanism which further supports a paddleboard or a kayak.
Wheeled cart that can be affixed to a vehicle's wheel holder
A Wheeled Cart which can be connected to the car's own wheel, allowing, upon removal of the car wheel, the positioning of the Wheeled Cart with the same screws or the same nuts. The device adapts to different configurations of the wheel and fastens taking into account the layout or configuration of the holes, as well as the diameter of the wheel to be replaced. The device enables movement of the car when the latter cannot do so with its wheels.
Personal Grooming Mobile Service Cart
A mobile cart having a body and a canopy, the top of the body having a work surface which includes a flat panel on a front portion of the top and one or more open face top receptacles on a rear portion, the flat panel horizontally slidable for opening the front portion of the top of the body to reveal a top storage receptacle. The rear having one or more rear panels which can be opened to reveal a rear storage receptacle. The front having an open face front receptacle on a portion of the front. The bottom having four corners, each of its four corners having a caster proximal thereto.
DEVICE FOR MOVING AN ARTICLE
A device for moving an article between a first position and a second position, the device comprising: a support portion for supporting an article; one or more wheels; and at least one actuator mechanism coupled to the support portion and the one or more wheels. The at least one actuator mechanism is configured to move the support portion between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position is offset from the second position such that the support portion is raised relative to the one or more wheels when moved from the first position to the second position to allow at least a portion of the one or more wheels to protrude beyond a plane defined by the support portion.
EXPANDABLE CAR JACK
An expandable car jack includes a vehicle lifting assembly with an upper lifting member, a lower lifting member mechanically coupled to the upper lifting member, and a lifting mechanism capable of moving the upper lifting member to a plurality of raised height positions. A base is coupled to the vehicle lifting assembly and includes a first base support member, a second base support member, and a base support coupler that is operable to selectively couple the first base support member to the second base support member in at least a first coupling position and a second coupling position. The base support coupler selectively mechanically maintains a parallel alignment and a perpendicular alignment of the first base support member and the second base support member when the base support coupler is in the first coupling position, allows the first base support member and the second base support member to freely move between the parallel alignment and the perpendicular alignment when the base support coupler is in the second coupling position, and remains mechanically coupled to at least the first base support member in the first and second coupling positions so that the first base support member cannot move with respect to the second base support member without a mechanical alteration to the base support coupler prior to moving either the first base support member or the second base support member.
Versatile article support device
A versatile transport rack uses a center frame and one or two outer frames that are pivotally attached to the center frame on opposing sides thereof. Hinge pin receiver pairs, having vertically aligned openings, are attached to each of one or two vertical rails extending upwardly from the center frame and receive door pin pairs of a vehicle door. Landing implements, such as castors or landing gear, are removably attached to the center frame, the outer frames or both. A deck plate can be attached to one or both of the outer frames.
Personal grooming mobile service cart
A mobile cart having a body and a canopy, the top of the body having a work surface which includes a flat panel on a front portion of the top and one or more open face top receptacles on a rear portion, the flat panel horizontally slidable for opening the front portion of the top of the body to reveal a top storage receptacle. The rear having one or more rear panels which can be opened to reveal a rear storage receptacle. The front having an open face front receptacle on a portion of the front. The bottom having four corners, each of its four corners having a caster proximal thereto.
