Patent number: 11401008Abstract: The present invention provides inflatable watercraft that are light weight, easily stowed in relatively small spaces and formed from inflatable drop stitch panels. A preferred watercraft is a boat having a bow, stern, keel and an open transom for self-bailing. A deck can be provided as a separate panel that is either permanently, or detachably, connected to freeboard sides of the watercraft. When connected, the deck provides a sitting area, and enhances the strength and rigidity of the watercraft by functioning like a deck beam. Optional features include a bucket held in place by, and fitted through, a hole in the deck panel. Preferred inflation pressures are between 2 and 25 p.s.i., and more preferably between 12 and 18 p.s.i.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: BOTE, LLCInventor: Corey Cooper

Publication number: 20220099245Abstract: Magnetic accessory surface mounts are provided using magnetic attraction between the ferrous metal accessories and a magnet disposed on, or in, the surface on which the accessories are to be mounted. Magnetic mounts are particularly suitable for stand up paddleboards, and other sea craft that have a very low profile. A magnet is disposed on the deck of the stand up paddleboard, and magnetically couples an accessory or a drink holder to the deck, for easy access by the user. The magnet is covered with a patch made of waterproof PVC to both strengthen the permanent connection of the magnet to the deck and to protect the magnet from water.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2020Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: BOTE, LLCInventor: Corey COOPER

Publication number: 20210121757Abstract: A pitch board game includes a board made of drop stitch inflatable material. The board, prior to inflation, is light weight, compact and easily carried from location to location. When inflated, the board is comparable in strength and hardness to solid wooden board. The game itself is played like the game “cornhole,” as bean bags are tossed by players onto the upper surface of the board, which is propped up at an acute angle. Bags landing on the surface count one point, and bags landing in a hole in the board count three points.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2019Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: BOTE, LLCInventors: Corey COOPER, George Robert McAbee, III

Patent number: 10758049Abstract: Light weight, easily stowed in small spaces inflatable chairs, pads, and flotation devices all from a relatively simple combination of at least two inflatable drop stitch panels which can be held in position relative to each other by use of straps, or in other embodiments, by additional inflatable side panels which provide arms and support to hold the chair upright on the ground. Simple hinges can be used to connect the panels together in desired configurations, either as fixed deployments or as adjustable and convertible deployments, where in one deployment, the panels for a chair, and in another, a flat pad, which can be used as a float or as a ground pad for camping.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: BOTE, LLCInventor: Corey Cooper

Patent number: 10479449Abstract: A watercraft is made of at least two inflatable members, each being made of a drop-stitch which provides strength and stiffness comparable to a solid material. Air pressures of twenty to thirty pounds are possible with drop-stitch material. Using near net shape structures, a cockpit is formed by stacking one inflatable member on top of the other. The two members are separately inflatable and bound together adhesively or with heat welding or tacking. Advantageously, the watercraft can function as both a board type watercraft or as a boat, capable of being paddled while standing up, or motored with an outboard motor.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: BOTE, LLCInventor: Corey Cooper
