ICE FISHING SLED WITH FLOTATION FOR SELF-RESCUE
An ice fishing sled comprising a plastic tub body with raised walls, and flotation bumpers secured to the exterior of the walls of the tub body around the upper edges of the walls to form a peripheral flotation shelf extending outwardly from the tub body. Bottom surfaces of the flotation bumpers are spaced above the bottom of the tub body, and can function as integral raised runners along the sides of the sled when encountering deep snow or uneven ice. The tub may optionally have a peripheral flange or lip extending outwardly from the upper periphery of the tub walls, with the peripheral flotation shelf located beneath and adjacent or against the underside of the flange or lip.
Leaf Skid Apparatus
The Leaf Skid Apparatus is a tarpaulin like structure that has two ends hemmed to create cavities that house a semi-rigid beam in front and a weight at the rear. Grommets are strategically placed to allow a pulling device to effectively distribute the weight and secure the beam in the structure. Additional grommets are utilized in the rear to secure the weight and to allow the structure to be staked to the ground. This apparatus can be manufactured using well established methods and materials while requiring a modest amount of labor. It can be transported and displayed in its storage container and offers a manufacture or retailer an effective tool for marketing by including a logo on the top surface. As a very useful and time/energy saving tool that can be sold for an affordable amount, it will appeal to home owners and yard maintenance professionals alike.
PORTABLE STORAGE SLED
A portable storage sled for transporting equipment includes a first elongated member and a second elongated member. At least one connecting member joins the first elongated member to the second elongated member. Each of the first elongated member and the second elongated member includes an extension member that is selectively retractable and extendable therefrom. The first elongated member, the second elongated member, the first extension member and the second extension member include a plurality of ridges extending upwardly therefrom that form an equipment mount between which the equipment is situated. The portable storage sled is selectively adjustable in length and width so that equipment of various sizes can be situated thereon.
Sled Transport Apparatus
A sled transport apparatus for transporting people and supplies on sand and snow includes a sled body having a bow, a stern, a starboard side, a port side, a bottom, an upper perimeter, and a cavity. A divider wall is coupled to the sled body and extends from the starboard side to the port side and from the bottom to the upper perimeter. The divider wall forms a cooler receptacle within the cavity from the divider wall to the stern that is configured to receive a cooler. A seat bottom is coupled to the sled body adjacent the divider wall and extending from the starboard side to the port side and toward the bow. A towrope is coupled to the sled body.
Sleigh bed
The sleigh bed platform is intended for use in ice fishing for transport of equipment such as a tent shelter and sized to accommodate a single reclining person for rest on the ice. Sleigh bed invention is very light easy to pull across thin ice. Three laminated plastic layers with a inner component of expanded polystyrene form a rigid truss and thermal barrier that makes the sleigh bed a comfortable resting place. Expanded polystyrene is insulation and extremely buoyant providing a float in cases of breaking thru lake ice. Multiple soft rope handles secure loads with no sharp edges around the bed. A second invention use is for evacuation of injured skiers. Lightweight sleigh bed is easy to carry to an injured skier. A rigid front handle facilitates moving down hill with a passenger secured to the sleigh bed.
LIGHTWEIGHT, WEATHER-RESISTANT, BARRIERS, METHODS AND STRUCTURES USING THE SAME
Insulated building products, methods and structure using those products are disclosed. The embodiments described include building materials having a core of encapsulated polystyrene (EPS) which is completely coated with a polymer. The polymer coating provides protection and structural integrity to the foam such that virtually indestructible structures can made of EPS foam that can form barriers for use in crowd control, cordoning off areas, creating corrals for lines at events, etc. Moreover, additional embodiments are provided in which additional structural integrity is provided by affixing one or more rigid materials to the EPS foam prior to coating. The results, as disclosed, are light-weight, portable building structures that can be made into lightweight, easily deployable and easily storable barriers.
Collapsible Sand Sled and Wagon
A sand sled and wagon for transporting items across sandy terrain. The wagon is a metal frame, wherein the top opening portion is lined with a canvas material. The bottom portion of the wagon comprises legs and removably attached feet. The preferred embodiment of the feet attachment is flat or slightly upward-curved ski runners. The wagon can fold inwardly in an accordion style for convenient storage and transportation. This invention makes it easier and more convenient to transport multiple items across sandy terrain. This makes family trips to the beach easier and more enjoyable.
Utility sled
A utility sled is formed from a lightweight material and includes a handle flexibly attached to the front end thereof. The handle includes a hook that is seated within a small opening of the utility sled when not in use. A pair of retractable wheels is attached to an exterior of each sidewall of the utility sled. The sidewalls are biased outward when no load is present. When loaded, the sidewalls advantageously tend to straighten vertically. The formed bottom of the sled includes a plurality of ribs which both add strength to the sled as well as function as sled runners when the wheels are retracted. The ribs operate to reduce friction between the sled bottom and the underlying surface.
TRACTION DEVICE USING DRONE
The present invention relates to a traction device using a drone and, more specifically, to a traction device using a drone, the device being capable of towing, along the progressing direction of a drone and by the thrust of the drone, an operator operating a drone and a carrier on which the operator rides. The traction device using a drone, of the present invention, can be applied to a moving means and leisure activities by allowing a user operating a drone to move in a flying direction of the drone, thereby enabling utilization of the drone to increase. In addition, the traction device using a drone of the present invention has an ascending and descending operation unit and a forward and backward operation unit, which are respectively formed as a rotational type, such as that of a knob dial, so as to facilitate maintenance of a constant altitude and a constant speed of the drone.
Lightweight, insulated, weather-resistant, building products, methods and structures using the same
Insulated building products, methods and structure using those products are disclosed. The embodiments described include building materials having a core of encapsulated polystyrene (EPS) which is completely coated with a polymer. The polymer coating provides protection and structural integrity to the foam such that structures made of EPS foam can support multiple human beings without incurring damage. Moreover, additional embodiments are provided in which additional structural integrity is provided by affixing one or more rigid materials to the EPS foam prior to coating. The results, as disclosed, are light-weight, portable building structures that provide protection from the weather and that can be easily heated or cooled.
