Animal mobility device
An animal mobility device to be used with an animal who lacks full functional use of its rear legs, providing the animal with two modes of operation, with the first mode of operation being active, whereby the animal propels itself by its front legs while having its rear portion supported by the device, and with the second mode of operation being passive, whereby a human operator propels the device while the entirety of the animal is supported by the device.
Support and suspension assembly for a snow sports board
A support assembly for use with snow sports boards includes a base configured to be attached to the snow sports board. A frame has a first portion extending downward and a second portion extending rearward from the first portion. A seat is mounted on the second portion of the frame. A shock absorber extends between the base and the first portion of the frame. During use, the support assembly is configured to support a rider sitting on the seat in a face-forward position with the rider's knees vertically below and forward of the rider's hips.
Apparatus for adapting a single-track vehicle to a chairlift
An apparatus for adapting a single-track vehicle for use on a chairlift is provided. A first adapter portion may be configured to be removably coupled to at least a portion of a single-track vehicle. A second adapter portion may be pivotably coupled to the first adapter portion. A space formed between the first adapter portion and the second adapter portion may be configured to receive at least a portion of a chairlift seat of a chairlift.
Compact Hiking Sled Device
A compact hiking sled device facilitates descent on snowy terrain while being lightweight and compact to facilitate hiking to an elevated position. The device includes a hull having a front side, a pair of lateral sides, a back side, a bottom side, and an interior space. Each of a pair of brake levers is pivotally coupled to a respective one of the lateral sides. A seat is positioned within the interior space. A thigh bar extends between the lateral sides of said hull adjacent to a front of the seat. A calf rest bar is adjacent to the front side of the hull. Each of a plurality of carrying straps is attachable to the hull for carrying the hull like a backpack.
Snow bike
A snow bike's three (3) piece chassis includes a frame disposed about the chassis' center. The chassis also includes an elongated, front fork, rotatably secured at an upper end of the frame's front end. A lower end of the front fork carries an elongated front snowboard. Lastly, the chassis includes a spring loaded swingarm that is pivotally secured to a rear end of the frame furthest from the front fork, and projects rearward therefrom. A distal end of the swingarm carries an elongated rear snowboard. A hole, that pierces the rear snowboard adjacent to its attachment to the swingarm, receives one end of a V-shaped plate that is rotatable so the plate's end projects beneath the rear snowboard into snow therebeneath. A coil spring, disposed between the swingarm and the V-shaped plate, draws the V-shaped plate's projecting end out of snow.
Cargo sled assembly
A cargo sled assembly for facilitating a physically limited user to transport cargo includes a dish that has a rigid bottom wall to facilitate the dish to be dragged along a variety of support surfaces. The dish has a diameter of at least 40.0 inches to accommodate cargo such as yard debris or the like thereby facilitating the dish to transport the cargo. A pair of straps is each coupled to and extends laterally away from the dish. A rod is coupled between each of the straps and the rod can be gripped by a user thereby facilitating the user to drag the dish along the support surface. In this way the user can transport the cargo in the dish.
Snowmobile footrests
A snowmobile footrest adapted to be disposed on a side of a snowmobile tunnel includes a plurality of interconnected ribs. At least one first rib extending in a first direction includes an upper first rib surface and a lower first rib surface defining a first rib height therebetween. A pair of vertical first rib surfaces, extending generally in a vertical direction between the upper and lower first rib surfaces, define a first rib thickness therebetween. The first rib height is greater than the first rib thickness. At least one second rib is connected to the at least one first rib. Each second rib extends in a second direction, the second direction being at an angle with respect to the first direction. The at least one first rib and the at least one second rib define at least one space therebetween. Snowmobiles having the footrests are also disclosed.
FOOT SHOVEL
Provided is a foot shovel comprising a pedal-activated lift and release mechanism. The foot shovel may allow for the relocation of a load, such as snow, dirt, rocks, sand, concrete, and the like, while minimizing exertion of the back, shoulders, and upper body. The foot shovel instead may redirect that exertion to an area of the body that may be less prone to complications and strain due to sudden movement, such as the feet, legs, and lower body. The pedal-activated lift and release mechanism may comprise a series of levers, arms, and axles that transition the foot shovel from a resting state where the foot shovel may acquire a load, to a lifting state that allows movement of the load to a desired location, and, finally, to a release state wherein the load is released from the foot shovel. The pedal-activated lift and release mechanism may transition back to a resting state to repeat the process of relocation. The pedal-activated lift and release mechanism may be actuated by a stepping motion by a user's foot.
MODULABLE SLED
The invention relates to a modulable sled comprising a shell having an outer slide structure and an inner seating structure for at least one user. The seating structure has two lateral walls each extending vertically on either side of the seat. The sled has a brake device which is actuated by at least one handle mounted on one of the lateral walls. The sled also includes a module having an alternative seating structure, with the module being arranged to be able to be reversibly mounted in the shell by covering its seating structure and creating an alternative seating configuration on the sled. The module also has at least one lateral structure which, when it is mounted in the shell, is arranged to prevent the actuation of the handle of the brake device.
MODULABLE SLED
The invention relates to a modulable sled comprising a shell having an outer slide structure and an inner seating structure for at least one user. The seating structure has two lateral walls each extending vertically on either side of the seat. The sled has a brake device which is actuated by at least one handle mounted on one of the lateral walls. The sled also includes a module having an alternative seating structure, with the module being arranged to be able to be reversibly mounted in the shell by covering its seating structure and creating an alternative seating configuration on the sled. The module also has at least one lateral structure which, when it is mounted in the shell, is arranged to prevent the actuation of the handle of the brake device.
