Abstract: An apparatus for mounting a pedal propulsion system to a watercraft, having a mount portion configured to be attached to the watercraft, a link support, and upper and lower links pivotally connected to the link support and to the mount portion. The link support and upper and lower links are configured to form part of a four-bar linkage arrangement and to simultaneously move together between an extended and lockable, operable position for operating the propulsion system, and a retracted and lockable, stowed position elevated above the extended position, for loading, transporting, unloading and/or launching the watercraft in the water. A column clamp is configured for selectively fixing a drive column of the pedal propulsion system to the link support, wherein the drive column, the link support and the upper and lower links are configured to simultaneously move together between the extended and retracted positions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of indicating the ball center of gravity position. The method of indicating the ball center of gravity position includes the following step of: moving the ball to a rotating member of a rotating device; driving the rotating member to rotate the ball along a axis of rotation of the rotating device, and adjust the center of gravity of the ball corresponding to the position of the rotating device; moving the ball onto a first carrier of a first transport device; and marking an identification mark on a predetermined area of the ball.

Abstract: An adjustable fitness bench includes a base frame, a shuttle slidable along at least a portion of the base frame, a support bar pivotally connected to the base frame, a seat back pivotally connected to the shuttle and the support bar, a seat bottom pivotally connected to the shuttle, and a link. The link includes a first end connected to the seat back, and a second end configured to rest against an undersurface of the seat bottom when the adjustable fitness bench is in a horizontal position.

Abstract: A shooting target assembly includes a balance bar having a center portion that is rotatably connected to a support, a first target assembly rotatably connected to a first end of the balance bar at a first pivot point, and a second target assembly rotatably connected to a second end of the balance bar at a second pivot point. The first target assembly includes a plurality of first target zones, the second target assembly includes a plurality of second target zones, each of the first target zones and each of the second target zones is configured to engage one or more targets, and the balance bar is configured to rotate about the center portion in response to one or more of the targets being broken.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for requesting a product at a retail establishment. The system includes an electronic device and a computer-readable storage medium which includes one or more programming instructions that cause the electronic device to receive, from an on-premises electronic device located at a retail establishment, data pertaining to a product including a unique identifier associated with the product, determine whether the product is an item of footwear, and identify current inventory information associated with the product in response to determining that the product is an item of footwear. The one or more programming instructions further cause the electronic device to send at least a portion of the current inventory information to the on-premises electronic device, receive a request for the product, and send a notification of the request to one or more associate electronic devices, each being associated with an associate in the retail establishment.

Abstract: A base assembly for a batting tee includes a base having a base guide path formed in an upper surface of the base, and a track plate positioned such that the track plate covers at least a portion of the upper surface of the base. The track plate includes a first segment and a second segment that surrounds at least a portion of the first segment. A position of the first segment relative to a position of the second segment defines a track plate guide path that extends between the first segment and the second segment such that the track plate guide path has a same shape as the base guide path and is positioned above the base guide path. Alignment of the track plate guide path and the base guide path form a non-linear track, such that the track is configured to slidably receive a portion of a tee.

Abstract: An ambidextrous face guard includes an attachment portion having at least two attachment points. The attachment portion extends from a first end of the ambidextrous face guard toward a second end of the ambidextrous face guard along a slope. The ambidextrous face guard includes a protective portion extending from the attachment portion toward the second end of the ambidextrous face guard along the slope. A line of symmetry extends along at least the attachment portion from the first end of the ambidextrous face guard toward the second end of the ambidextrous face guard such that the line of symmetry defines two symmetric portions of the ambidextrous face guard that each extend along at least a portion of a length of the ambidextrous face guard. The ambidextrous face guard is configured to attach to a right side and a left side of a headgear via the attachment points.

Abstract: A compliant shin guard includes an outer shell composed of an impact absorbing material and an inner padding mounted to the inner surface of the outer shell. A plurality of vents extend through the outer shell and the inner padding, the plurality of vents being distributed across the outer surface of the outer shell. A raised channel extends at least partially along the length of the outer shell to provide rigidity to the outer shell.

Abstract: A shooting target assembly includes a frame having a curved edge, where a plurality of catch mechanisms are positioned along the curved edge, a first target arm having a first end and a second end, and a second target arm having a first end and a second end. The first end of the first target arm is connected to a first target that is positioned above the curved edge. The second end of the first target arm is pivotally connected to a rear portion of the frame at a first pivot point. The first end of the second target arm is connected to a second target that is positioned above the curved edge, and the second end of the second target arm is pivotally connected to the rear portion of the frame at a second pivot point. Each of the plurality of catch mechanisms is configured to engage the first target arm or the second target arm.
