SKID FOR ASSISTING MOBILITY OF PORTABLE COOLERS
A skid including an upper surface having a concave shape running from a leading edge to a trailing edge and a lower surface having a convex shape running from the leading edge to the trailing edge. A storage compartment having a pair of wheels and an upstanding handle rolls onto the upper surface of the skid. The skid aids in transporting the storage compartment across sand or snow.
Quick-release ATV skis
Quick-release skis couple to the front wheels of an ATV or other wheeled vehicle, to permit the ATV to travel over snow. The rear ATV wheels may be left unaltered, or more commonly, tracks may be substituted for the rear wheels. The ski coupling includes a drive-on runner and coupling having in one embodiment width-adjustable side walls, an over-center clamp, and a lock for securing the over-center clamp. In a second embodiment, a pivotal tire cage allows the ATV tire to be driven onto the ski, but simply by forward travel of the tire the cage pivots to constrain the tire thereon. A strap then binds the tire and cage to ensure the tire stays in place on the ski. In a third embodiment, an ATV track is converted to a runner by the application and tensioning of a ski. Additional embodiments are illustrated.

Pallet for tubular down-hole tools
A pallet is provided for supporting cylinders. The pallet can have a convex spine extending substantially the length of the pallet in a longitudinal direction, having a backstop at a first end. The pallet has one or more trays attached transverse to the convex spine, each tray having longitudinal fluted indents to restrain a cylinder from rolling transverse, the longitudinal fluted indents are each arranged to accept a cylinder from above. The pallet has a left outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the left outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain, as well as a right outrigger attached and extending transverse to the convex spine, the right outrigger stabilizing the pallet with respect to terrain. The pallet can have a coupling extending from an end of the convex spine, wherein the coupling is arranged to take a crane hook in engagement to pull the pallet.

Universal Wheelbarrow Snowboard Attachment
A devise that makes it possible to use common-or-garden wheelbarrow in snow or other slippery conditions. The device can be used on any standard wheelbarrow and deployed in a matter of a few seconds, without any disassembly or adjustment to the wheelbarrow. The device consists of aplastic board, similar to a children's training snowboard, approximately 104 cm (41 inches) long and 28 cm (11 inches) wide, to which a metal cradle is attached in the center to snugly hold the wheel of the wheelbarrow.

Hybrid snow vehicle conversion kit
A conversion kit for a snow vehicle has a front assembly component, the front assembly component has a front ski, a bracket that is attached to the front ski, two extension arms that are pivotally attached to the bracket extending upwardly from the front ski, and a rear assembly component having a two or more adjacent members, a mount attached to the pivot unit, comprising a clamping attachment on one end configured to retain a section of the frame on another end, a ski attachment terminating each adjacent member, a pivot unit, comprising at two horizontal pivot bars pivotally connecting the adjacent members at its ends, and pivotally connected to the mount at a midpoint, wherein the one or more horizontal pivot bars move the adjacent members interdependently, and wherein each member extends from a common pivot unit and terminates at a ski attachment.
Modular fishing equipment cart
A modular fishing equipment cart includes a frame having a first longitudinal side and a second longitudinal side extending parallel to the first longitudinal side. A front lateral side connects the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side and a rear lateral side also connects the first longitudinal side and the second longitudinal side. A plurality of wheels supports the frame for rolling the frame on the wheels. A rod holder assembly extends along the left longitudinal side. A plurality of hooks is co-linearly attached to the front lateral side. A magnetic holder is attached to the rear lateral side. Additional components are removably attachable to the frame.
Beach sled
A beach sled having a first flexible panel and the second flexible panel adapted to be pulled simultaneously over a beach surface via the handle member for transporting items over beach surfaces.
