SNOWMOBILE ASSISTANT DEVICE
20220371502 · 2022-11-24 ·

A wheeled device for increasing the mobility of a snowmobile or ski-bound vehicle, wherein the wheeled device, having a cylindrical axle, is attached to the bolt on the interior of a sled ski underneath the snowmobile sled, which raises the skis off the ground and does not increase the snowmobile sled width. The wheeled device surrounds the interior sled ski bolts and nuts thereon and is tightened onto said bolts and nuts by way of a tightening wheel. The snowmobile is thus able to drive on the wheeled devices so that it can conveniently move from one location to another without damaging the bottom of the skis if on rough or unstable terrain.

Stackable rolling coolers with affixed main bin
11505224 · 2022-11-22 ·

This invention is directed to a kit of coolers that offers a number of improvements over the prior art. The coolers are modified to specifically accommodate frozen gel ice packs instead of ice cubes. Because there is no spill water, the coolers open with front-facing pull-out drawers. The coolers stack atop one another with interlocking parts. Easy transport is provided by a handle and wheels, which are attached to the bottom (main) bin. Internally, the cooler bins are compartmentalized horizontally or vertically with dividers. Hollow spaces within the walls and dividers of the bins accommodate frozen gel ice packs. Overall, the coolers are easier to pack and unpack, stack, load into a car, and transport on the ground than conventional ice chest coolers.

Ground and ladder transport apparatus
11505226 · 2022-11-22 ·

Material transport equipment includes first and second pairs of main wheels and first and second pairs of extension wheels rotatably attached to a frame. The main wheels have a diameter greater than the extension wheels and are spaced further apart than the extension wheels. The main wheels and the extension wheels are adapted to roll on the rails of a main section and of an extension, respectively, of an extension ladder. The equipment may be used as a hand truck for carrying a payload on ground wheels rolling on the ground. The apparatus may then be leaned to position main wheels of the apparatus onto rails of a main section of an extension ladder. Extension wheels on the apparatus move onto rails of the extension of the ladder as the apparatus moves up from the main section onto the extension using a rope or cable.

Trolley coupling structure

The present invention relates to a novel trolley coupling structure that allows coupling of base parts of trolleys aligned in the vertical or horizontal direction. The present invention provides a trolley coupling structure in which a first receiving recess part is provided in a base part of one trolley, a second receiving recess part is provided in a base part of another trolley, a locking member is pivotally attached to the first receiving recess part, a recess part body and a bent section are formed in the respective first and second receiving recess parts, and retaining of the locking member is achieved by constraining and locking a constraining piece part of the locking member at the bent section.

Robotic vehicle, system therewith and use thereof

Robotic vehicle and use thereof for displacing a holder for goods, which is for instance loaded with goods, which vehicle can be operated in an empty position and a loaded position, comprising of (1) moving the robotic vehicle to a position under the holder in a first direction, wherein the robotic vehicle is in the empty position, wherein a holding means is countersunk in a body of the vehicle; (2) lifting the holder, wherein the robotic vehicle lifts the holder by performing a vertical movement of the holding means relative to the wheels of the vehicle, such that the holding means comes into contact with an underside of the holder, wherein the robotic vehicle transfers to the loaded position; (3) rotating driven wheels of the robotic vehicle from the first direction to the second direction without the body of the vehicle being rotated, and (4) displacing the robotic vehicle in the loaded position in a second direction, wherein the first and second direction enclose a mutual angle of between 60 and 120 degrees, preferably 75 and 105 degrees, more preferably 85 and 95 degrees, such as a substantially right angle.

Dolly for a water vessel

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.
