  • Publication number: 20240107984
    Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for interactive fetching for one or more participants, such as pets. In one implementation, a projectile, such as a ball, is received in a receiver and transported through an opening into a feeder of a randomizer. One of a plurality of chutes is randomly selected using gravity, and the projectile is transported from the feeder into the selected chute. The chute generates a smooth roll along a ramp to a port, from which the projectile is ejected along an ejection path for the participant to retrieve.

  • Publication number: 20240033167
    Abstract: A massage roller is disclosed that provides a pair of massage roller assemblies each having at least one roller element in opposed spaced relationship to allow a massageable portion of a user's body to be positioned between the roller elements for a rolling massage effect. The pair of massage roller assemblies may also be detached from the massage roller such that each massage roller assembly independently can be utilized for massaging a massageable portion of a user's body.

  • Publication number: 20230210311
    Abstract: A portable cutting apparatus is described. The portable cutting apparatus includes a cutting board having a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface includes sockets configured to receive legs of an elevation system. Each socket is threaded to include an alignment component and teeth. The alignment component biases rotation of the elevation system component during insertion into the socket to enable full insertion. The teeth are configured to mesh with corresponding teeth of the leg and mechanically secure the leg within the socket. The leg is threaded opposite an end configured for insertion into the socket to include a table foot, in a manner that enables individual height adjustment for each leg of the elevation system. The table foot is configured with a hollow cavity that permits articulation of a base of the table foot to adapt to various surfaces when the portable cutting apparatus is deployed.
