Tracked vehicle with adjustable track spacing

Track systems for traction of a vehicle in which a spacing of laterally-adjacent ones of the track systems in a widthwise direction of the vehicle is adjustable. This may facilitate use of the vehicle in different conditions (e.g., in different field configurations, such as in different configurations of row crops, where the vehicle is an agricultural vehicle). For instance, the spacing of the laterally-adjacent ones of the track systems may be adjustable while the laterally-adjacent ones of the track systems are connected to a powertrain of the vehicle and/or without requiring use of additional parts (e.g. spacers).

Dolly for a water vessel
11661128 · 2023-05-30 ·

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.

Foldable vehicle

A foldable vehicle may include a chassis comprising a static support, a dynamic chassis frame that includes at least two substantially opposite frame parts and a folding mechanism for decreasing or increasing a distance between the at least two substantially opposite frame parts across a lateral axis of the vehicle between a folded state and an unfolded state; and a controller to control the folding mechanism.
