Patent number: 11046132Abstract: A bicycle trailer latch comprises a skewer engaging surface that is desirably at least in part spherical, such as hemispherical. When engaging a bicycle skewer at the rear wheel of a bicycle, the spherical engagement surface allows more freedom of movement of the bicycle trailer relative to the skewer during towing. This enhances the trailers ability to track the movement of the bicycle. The latch can comprise a housing with a housing opening sized to receive the end portion of the bicycle wheel skewer. A stop inside the housing is pivotal to stop closed and stop open positions. In the stop closed position, the housing opening is sufficiently to block the decoupling of the latch from bicycle skewer. In the stop open position, the stop opens the housing opening sufficiently to permit passage of the end portion of the skewer through the housing opening.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Burley Design LLCInventors: Mike Dotsey, Evan Aamodt, Andrew J.

Patent number: 10913319Abstract: A bicycle trailer pivot assembly can comprise first and second yoke arms with respective first and second end portions and a pivot coupling the first end portion of each yoke arm to a bicycle trailer frame. The first end portions the yoke arms comprise respective first and second hinge portions that interfit and that receive a hinge pin that couples the first end portions together and to the bicycle trailer frame for pivoting about an upright axis. The first and second hinge portion comprise respective stops positioned to engage one another to limit the maximum distance to which the second end portions of the first and second yoke arms can be spread apart. The first and second hinge portions can comprise respective stops that limit both the maximum and minimum spread apart positions of the second end portions of the yoke arms.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Burley Design LLCInventors: Mike Dotsey, Evan Aamodt, Andrew J.

Patent number: 10647379Abstract: A bicycle trailer has a frame with a hitch portion that comprises first and second yoke arms with respective first end and second end portions. Skewer engagement latches can be coupled to the second end portions of the yoke arms. The skewer engagement latches can have stops that pivot between stop open and closed positions. In the stop open positions, respective end portions of a bicycle skewer can inserted into or separated from the latches. In the stop closed positions, respective end portions of the bicycle skewer, if positioned in respective latches, are retained coupled to the yoke arms by the latches. The stops are moved between open and closed positions by an actuator, such as by respective cable portions attached to the stop portions. Desirably the actuator simultaneously moves the stops between the open and closed positions. The latches can have skewer engagement surfaces that are least in part spherical.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Burley Design LLCInventors: Mike Dotsey, Evan Aamodt, Andrew J.

Publication number: 20160167687Abstract: A collapsible wagon includes a base and one or more upstanding walls forming a container for cargo. At least one of the upstanding walls is pivotally mounted to the base for pivoting between an unfolded position for use and a folded position for storage and transport. In some embodiments, the wagon includes a pinchless internal mechanical stop that eliminates pinch points where a user's fingers can be pinched during folding and unfolding of the walls. In some embodiments, the wagon includes a gang-operated latch system for releasably securing one of the walls to another one of the walls that is quick, easy, and reliable to use for folding and unfolding. And in some embodiments, the wagon includes a latch system that eliminates slack or play when in the unfolded use position for structural integrity.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2016Publication date: June 16, 2016Applicant: DRAGONFLY GEAR, LLCInventors: Patrick NOLAN, Mike DOTSEY, Noah DINGLER, Brady SCHROEDER

Patent number: 8474907Abstract: A car seat has a base for placement on a vehicle seat and a seat shell attachable to and detachable from the base. A latch mechanism is biased to a latched arrangement attaching the shell to the base. A release actuator is connected to the latch mechanism and can move the latch mechanism to a released arrangement, detaching the shell from the base permitting its removal from the base. The shell can be optionally adjustable on the base between at least two different recline positions. The latch mechanism in the latched arrangement can then also retain the shell in one of the recline positions. A recline actuator can be connected to the latch mechanism and can move the latch mechanism allowing adjustment of the shell recline position but not permitting removal from the base.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Craig Weber, Noah Dingler, Troy Mason, Brandon McKee, Matt Morgenstern, Rachel Fine Praetorius

Patent number: 8070226Abstract: An infant car seat base assembly has a base section with a top side, a bottom side, an upright base panel on a first end, and first and second openings vertically spaced apart on the upright base panel. A foot is attached to the first end and is slidable along the upright base panel in a direction generally normal to a plane of the bottom side between a first position and a second position. The foot has a foot body and a resilient, flexible leg extending up from the foot body. The flexible leg is exposed on an exterior of the base section and has a back side facing the upright base panel. The foot has a guide leg extending up from the foot body adjacent the flexible leg and positioned behind the upright base panel. A tab protrudes from the back side of the flexible leg and is sized to selectively seat in each of the first and second openings. The flexible leg biases the tab toward the upright base panel to seat in a selected one of the first and second openings when aligned therewith.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2009Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Graco Children's Products Inc.Inventors: Noah Dingler, Jason Arnold, Craig Weber
