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.

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.

A system and method for mounting one or more accessories to a vehicle with forks is disclosed. The system can include a frame comprising mounting plates, the mounting plates including at least an axle hole and a fork stop hole. The frame can also include frame rails to connect the mounting plate to an accessory mount. The system can be mounted to the forks of the vehicle using the axle hole and an axle. A fork stop can be placed in the fork stop hole and can include one or more interface points to fit the bottom of the forks. The fork stop can transmit forces from the accessory to the forks in a linear manner and to a location where the forks have additional strength. The fork stop can be designed such that it bends in response to an impact rather than breaking the forks.

A trailer having a framework configured for selectively switching between a wheel-based towing mechanism and a ski-based towing mechanism and wherein the trailer framework is lightweight and configured for supporting an enclosed trailer that may be constructed of lightweight composite paneling. The trailer framework can also be used with a pivotable and removable tow-bar where the tow-bar is configured with a plurality of pivotable attachment points for pivotably securing to the framework. The tow-bar is also connectable to any tow-vehicle and can be removed from the tow-vehicle and the trailer framework when not in use, or can be pivoted upwardly about the trailer framework for storage.

The present invention provides a ski assembly (39) for mounting on a front wheel hub unit (40) of a wheel-drive vehicle, wherein the wheel hub unit comprises a brake caliper bracket fastened to a bracket mount on the hub unit by caliper mounting bolts, the ski assembly comprises a ski element (42) and a fastening assembly, wherein the fastening assembly comprises an arm (43) having a first end (44) and a second end (45), the first end is pivotably connected to the ski element (42) around a pivot axis being transverse to the longitudinal direction of the ski element and the second end (45) comprises a ski fastening bracket (46) comprising at least two mounting bolt holes (47) arrangeable at positions corresponding to the positions of the caliper mounting bolts, such that the second end may be rigidly connected to the bracket mount.

A stroller includes a frame having a shaft, a seat disposed on the frame, a base disposed on the frame, and wheels disposed on the base. The shaft of the frame is inserted into the base to allow the frame to rotate relative to the base. In another possible approach, a stroller includes a frame, a seat disposed on the frame, a base disposed on the frame, a canopy extending from the seat, and a display device incorporated into the canopy. The display device is viewable from the seat.

A wagon having both a utility mode and a driving mode is disclosed. The wagon includes a chassis and a bucket for conveying at least one object. The object can be an inanimate object, wherein the wagon can be configured in utility mode to be pulled by an operator. Or, the object can be a living being, wherein the wagon can be configured either for the utility mode or a driving mode to be driven and controlled by an occupant of the bucket. Various features enable the wagon to be reconfigurable for a desired design.
