TRASH AND RECYCLE BIN RELOCATION ROBOT
A robot for moving trash bins and recycle bins from a storage area typically garage or driveway, to a curbside for engagement by garbage/recycle collection truck and then later the robot returns the bins back to their storage area. This works best with the commonly used two-wheel bins. The robot detects the location of the bins using a camera and artificial intelligence and lifts the bins off the ground using an arm and hook to drag the bins on their wheels to the curbside one at a time. The robot may distinguish between types of bins, the owner bins and other's bins by a barcode sticker. The robot detects its directions from driveway to curbside by either a line drawn on the ground and detected by its camera or by using a training method that keeps track of images on its way and uses artificial intelligent.
Plant Support Assembly
A plant support assembly for facilitating the growing of plants includes a plate and a frame that is octagonally shaped. A net is coupled to and extends inwardly from the frame. A plurality of rods is coupled to and extends between the plate and the frame. Each rod comprises a plurality of nested sections so that the rod is selectively extensible. A plurality of rollers is coupled to a lower surface of the plat. The net is configured to support stems and leaves of a plant that is growing from a container that is positioned on an upper surface of the plate. The rollers are configured to roll on a horizontal surface to selectively position the plate.
Wheeled Golf Bag
A wheeled golf bag. The wheeled golf bag includes a telescopic handle disposed on an upper portion thereof, and a pair of wheels disposed on a lower portion thereof. The telescopic handle is configured to be retracted into a handle sleeve so that the wheeled golf bag is more compact, and to be extended out of the handle sleeve to provide leverage to controllably roll the wheeled golf bag. A portion of each wheel of the pair of wheels is inset into the lower portion of the wheeled golf bag, such that the pair of wheels may not contact a ground when the wheeled golf bag is placed in an upright orientation. When the wheeled golf bag is placed in an angled orientation, the pair of wheels contact the ground to configure the wheeled golf bag to be rolled.
System and method for rotorcraft blade storage
A device is provided. The device includes a first pillar. The first pillar includes a bottom portion having an opening. The first pillar further includes a top portion coupled to the bottom portion by a middle portion. The top portion includes a plurality of shelves stacked along a common axis intersecting the bottom portion. Each of the shelves has a respective recess. The first pillar further includes a plurality of clamps. Each of the shelves has a respective clamp of the clamps. Each respective clamp and respective recess of the shelves forms an airfoil cross-sectional shape. The first pillar further includes a plurality of locks. Each of the shelves has a respective lock of the locks. Each of the locks has a first locking portion on respective shelves and a second locking portion on respective clamps of the shelves.
EZ SPEEDY AXLE KIT
An EZ SPEEDY AXLE KIT for increasing the mobility of foldable sawhorse stands while allowing the tires used to be customizable. The invention consists of an axle that connects all of the pieces together. It is mounted with two fasteners that pass through the axle. Two spindles thread into the axle to allow them to be removable. Two objects with threaded apertures lock the spindles in place as well as provide the necessary preload to the bearing races of any tire used. The invention allows for any size spindle and tires to be used as long as the spindle can thread into the axle.
WHEEL ASSEMBLY FOR TRANSPORTABLE CARTON
A transportable carton assembly is disclosed that includes a carton defining a bottom rear corner edge portion having a pair of longitudinally spaced apart apertures formed therein, and an elongated shield retained within the bottom rear corner edge portion of the carton and including a pair of longitudinally spaced apart wheels positioned to extend through the longitudinally spaced apart apertures formed in the bottom rear corner edge portion of the carton for transporting the carton over a surface.

FLAT TIRE BUDDY
Flat Tire Buddy is comprised of a steel cradle provided with a pair of rear steel wheels supported on a rear axle and a central swiveling two front steel wheels. The cradle has a bottom wall and opposed spaced parallel side walls to receive a vehicle wheel therein. A pivotal rear ramp is secured to the rear axle and has a first inclined ramp section to permit the vehicle wheel to enter the cradle. The rear ramp also has a second ramp section which is actuable by the load of the vehicle wheel to cause the first plate section to pivot upward to an arresting position. The rear ramp is constructed such that when in the loading position, it causes the rear wheel to be wedged off the ground support surface. The rear ramp is provided to prevent displacement to Flat Tire Buddy when a vehicle wheel is driven in or out of the cradle over the pivotal rear ramp. At the rear of Flat Tire Buddy there are two stopper levers which stop Flat Tire Buddy from moving forward when mounting onto the cradle. In the front of Flat Tire Buddy, there are an additional two stopper levers which function in the same manner, stopping Flat Tire Buddy from moving forward when mounting with a tire onto the cradle. Dismounting with the tire from the cradle serves the same purpose for all four stopper levers for further security. All four stopper levers are disengaged before driving away with the flat tire wheel sitting in the cradle of Flat Tire Buddy. For additional safety there are straps which are tied to the tire before driving with Flat Tire Buddy.
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.
Chair Caddie
A chair caddie, comprises a central hub and four arms. Each of the four arms is coupled to and extends outwardly from the central hub and is adapted to support a chair leg. Each arm is supported by a surface-engaging roller. The surface-engaging rollers cooperate to elevate the arms and the central hub above a planar surface engaged by the surface-engaging rollers. Each arm carries a chair foot receptacle adapted to receive and support a chair foot, and each roller is positioned inboard of the chair foot receptacle on its respective arm. The chair foot receptacles define a notional chair footprint circumscribing the chair foot receptacles, and the surface-engaging rollers have centers of rotation that are inside the chair footprint.
