Shoe with interchangeable sole
The convertible shoe with interchangeable sole consists of an upper to hold the foot and an interchangeable outsole. There is an attachment surface on the underside of the upper and an attachment surface on the topside of the outsole, and the two attachment surfaces are paired and configured to securely attach the two components while also being detachable to allow for the interchange of different outsoles having different tread surfaces. The attachment surfaces are a non-flat contoured shape. There are two protruding ridges on one surface, one substantially under the toe and the other under the heel and part of the arch. These mate with a recessed channel on the other surface. There is also attachment material on both surfaces that are mated and provide a secure attachment.
PIVOT ASSEMBLY FOR RIDE-ON DEVICE
A user powered ride-on device and assemblies to facilitate ride-on device reconfiguration.
Snowboard conversion kit
In described embodiments, a snowboard conversion kit includes a first strap assembly having a first hollow strap sleeve having a first end, a second end, distal from the first end, and a cutout between the first end and the second end. A first strap has a first strap end that extends into the first hollow strap sleeve from the first end and a second strap end that extends into the first hollow strap sleeve from the second end. The first strap and the first strap sleeve form a loop. A first strap securing assembly is adapted to extend through the first hollow strap sleeve and secure the first hollow strap sleeve to a snowboard. A second strap assembly, similar to the first strap assembly is also provided.
Systems and devices for fastening splitboard skis and associated methods
The splitboard fastening system is for use with a splitboard having first and second splitboard skis. The splitboard fastening system includes an adjustable crossbar attachment, configured to be coupled to the first splitboard ski, and including a crossbar having an engagement interface that is adjustable relative to a center seam of the splitboard. A rotatable lever attachment is configured to be coupled to the second splitboard ski, and includes a post, defining an axis of rotation, and coupled to a lever. Wherein, in a locked configuration, the post exerts a lateral force against the engagement interface of the crossbar based upon rotation of the lever.
Modular activity board
An apparatus for receiving one or more activity attachments including a deck having one or more openings along a long axis of the deck and between the top surface and the bottom surface of the deck. Each of the one or more openings having a circular aperture for receiving an accessory of a set of accessories. Each accessory of the set of accessories providing an activity for a user of the activity. Each accessory having an attachment platform configured to attach the accessory to the board. The attachment platform having a locking mechanism to engaging with a complementary locking mechanism of the board.
Splitboard joining device
Some embodiments disclosed herein provide an apparatus for joining two skis to form a splitboard. The apparatus can comprise a first attachment portion configured to attach to a first ski and a second attachment portion configured to attach to a second ski. The first attachment portion and the second attachment portion can be configured to engage to prevent splitboard skis from moving up and down relative to each other, from moving apart in a direction perpendicular to a seam of the splitboard, from sliding relative to each other in a direction parallel to the seam, and from rotating about the seam of the splitboard.
Splitboard Latching Device
A latching device that joins splitboard skis along lengthwise edges. The latching device can include a bracket assembly and a crossbar assembly. The bracket assembly can be secured to a first splitboard ski. The crossbar assembly can be secured to a second splitboard ski. The crossbar assembly can include a crossbar and a lever rotationally coupled to the crossbar. The bracket assembly can include a bracket. Rotating the lever can apply a compressive force between the lever and the inside edge of the bracket applying a holding force between the first splitboard ski and the second splitboard ski. With the splitboard skis disengaged, the bracket assembly and crossbar assembly can be stowed completely within their respective splitboard ski perimeter boundaries.
Modular activity board
An apparatus for receiving one or more activity attachments including a deck having one or more openings along a long axis of the deck and between the top surface and the bottom surface of the deck. Each of the one or more openings having a circular aperture for receiving an accessory of a set of accessories. Each accessory of the set of accessories providing an activity for a user of the activity. Each accessory having an attachment platform configured to attach the accessory to the board. The attachment platform having a locking mechanism to engaging with a complementary locking mechanism of the board.
