Sole Straightening Patents (Class 12/120.5)
  • Patent number: 9969413
    Abstract: A wheeled hand-cart configured to carry and secure ski equipment and accessories is described. The hand-cart is of the type where a user adjusts an attitude of the hand-cart for rolling travel so as to balance the load about a wheel axis of the hand-cart. The hand-cart includes a load platform extensive enough to carry ski boots as well as a large securable container. Ski mounts joined to the hand-cart carry skis outboard of the load platform at an attitude that provides for ample clearance between the tips of the skis and the user's upper body. The ski-carrying cart may include a voluminous securable container to serve as a mobile ski locker, and locking devices may be provided to secure the skis and the cart. The hand-cart is further configured to partially collapse to a narrow-stance mode adapted for rolling travel in narrow spaces.

  • Patent number: 9375073
    Abstract: A tablet support accessory is revealed that holds electronic tablets, iPads, notebooks, game players, e-readers, smart-phones, or other interactive electronic devices or viewing devices, on the thigh of a sitting, supine, or semi-supine person. Because interactivity at times involves the tapping on the face of the device, the tablet support accessory is stabilized by coupling a thigh brace and platform assembly, on which the device is held, to a support in the wearer's knee-shin region by means of an adjustable strap.
