A beach trolley includes two lateral arms, a central arm therebetween and a pulling arm that is aligned with the central arm. Each of the two lateral arms and central arm having a removable inflatable wheel at one end and being joined at the other end for pivotal movement between a trolling configuration wherein the two lateral arms and the central arm generally lie within a same plane and a compact configuration wherein the two lateral arms and the central arm are generally parallel. The pulling arm is joined to the two lateral arms and the central arm for pivotal movements towards and away the two lateral arms and the central arm. The beach trolley further includes a flexible seat attached to the arms to form a) a seat therebetween when the two lateral arms and the central arm are in the trolling configuration and b) a bag therewith when i) the two lateral arms and the central arm are in the compact configuration and ii) the pulling arm is pivoted so as to be generally parallel to the two lateral arms and the central arm.

The Rolling Lever Dumbbell Handcart Method is a method of using a handcart to lift a dumbbell, that is organized with a curved front structure that creates a varying effective fulcrum for lifting dumbbells. This method solves the repeated strain problem associated with having to lift a dumbbell up to a necessary height. The operation of the method works by having the operator lean the entire handcart forward so that the front curved portion rolls forward upon the flooring. The Dumbbell is then secured and the same rolling motion is performed in the reverse direction. Once the Handcart is lifted to its upright position it can then be rolled to another location where it can then be leaned forward again to place the Dumbbell in a new location.

An illustrated view of an exemplary ball pod for holding and transporting balls, such as tennis balls, baseballs, etc. is presented. The ball pod is useful for allowing easy access to the balls and refreshments while playing or practicing a game. The ball pod is easy to transport the balls from one location to another location and is efficient in use and accessibility. Furthermore, the ball pod is useful for securely holding refreshments for the player in order to refresh or hydrate the player during the game or the practice. The ball pod may also hold other items such as various player's garments (warm-up tops, bottoms, etc.), towels, personal items (smart phones, keys, wallet), etc. The ball pod has further uses such as, but not limited to, poolside holding refreshments, personal items, towels, street clothes), bar-b-que (holding utensils, condiments, aprons, towels, items to be grilled etc. and can further operate as a mini prep area when equipped with accessory trays), hotel rooms (holding refreshments, such as champagne, ice, gifts, etc.), gyms, (basketball courtside, weight training/fitness training, coaching equipment, refreshments, etc.), field sports (holding coaches equipment, personal items, etc.), beaches (holding towels, personal items, etc.), etc.

The present disclosure relates to a resistive exercise harness, a rack for use with the harness, and a cart for transporting one or more of the harness, the rack, or weights. The resistive exercise harness can be used to perform various functional movements/exercises and simulate loaded carries/movements relevant to certain occupations/sports/recreations. The resistive exercise harness can promote efficient biomechanics and decrease mechanical stresses on a user's knees and/or lower back relative to other resistive exercises such as a barbell squat. The rack can be assembled in a variety of indoor/outdoor environments for harness usage and disassembled for convenient storage and/or transportation. The cart can interface with the harness and disassembled rack for convenient storage and/or transportation in a variety of indoor/outdoor environments.

A method and a bowling ball enclosure are provided for encasing and reducing temperature fluctuations of and within a bowling ball. The bowling ball enclosure includes a flexible inner vapor barrier layer and a flexible outer layer that are made of a polymer material, the inner layer forming an interior region that receives the bowling ball. The bowling ball enclosure also includes a bottom portion and a top portion, wherein the top portion is positionable from a first position to a second position to encapsulate the bowling ball. In the first position, the top portion being in an open position to receive the bowling ball into the interior region. In the second position, the top portion being in a closed position to encapsulate the bowling bowl. A bowling ball bag includes a vapor ball layer to reducing the emission of volatiles from a retained bowling ball.

The beach trolley further includes a flexible seat attached to the arms to form a) a seat therebetween when the two lateral arms and the central arm are in the trolling configuration and b) a bag therewith when i) the two lateral arms and the central arm are in the compact configuration and ii) the pulling arm is pivoted so as to be generally parallel to the two lateral arms and the central arm.

An equipment caddie that comprises of an oblong housing that is on at least two wheels. The caddie has a retractable handle and a two-piece cover. The first part of the cover defines a compartmental housing that defines at least one cylinder wherein bats or elongated items can be stored. The cylinder(s) defines drains that will allow precipitation to exit the cylinder if the precipitation enters the cylinder. The second part of the two-piece cover is a seat that is pivotally attached to the compartmental housing. In a preferred embodiment, the caddie will define side openings that will allow a user to lift the caddie on to a vehicle.

A ball retrieval apparatus (10, 910) for retrieving (e.g. tennis) balls (70) from the ground (72) includes a receptacle (12, 912) with an opening (26, 926) over which horizontal rods (36, 936) extend. The rods are received in apertures (34), and can move upwardly and laterally between lowermost and raised positions. The distance between rods in their lowermost positions is less than the ball's diameter. This distance increases as the rods are raised, and moved in opposite lateral directions. A ball can be retrieved by being received into the receptacle between adjacent rods. The rods then drop down to their lowermost positions so that the distance between them again decreases so that the ball is trapped in the receptacle. The invention also extends to a ball retrieval system including a trolley (46, 946) and one or two ball retrieval apparatus supported on the trolley.

A sports training device for use on a ground surface includes motorized base mounted to a plurality of wheels connected with at least one motor, a power source, and a control circuit that includes at least one remote control receiver and is adapted to move the motorized base along the ground surface based on remote commands received by the remote control receiver. A support frame is mounted to the motorized base and holds height-adjustable vertical supports, and rotational and extendable lateral arms. A sporting dummy is fixed to a top end of each vertical support. A wireless remote control has a remote control circuit board, a power source, and a control interface, and is adapted to send the remote commands to the control circuit of the motorized base.
