The assembly includes a base plate and a fixed wall coupled to and extending upwardly from the base plate. At least one arm is coupled to and extends from the fixed wall. A strap is coupled to and extends from the fixed wall and around the arm. The strap is configured for coupling the fixed wall and the arm in frictional engagement against a base of a golf bag whereby the base plate is coupled to the golf bag. A plurality of wheels is coupled to and extends from the base plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Inventor: Carlos E. Sanchez

Publication number: 20130292918Abstract: A Mecanum wheel having a circular plate with a plurality of peripheral flanges formed thereon, the flanges having tab portions bent at an angle of less than 90° from said plate; a roller being mounted to and cantilevering off of each of said tab portions such that the axis of rotation of each roller is at corresponding angle of less than 90° from said plate. In some cases, the angles are approximately the same, being approximately 45°. By cantilevering the rollers, more space is available for use by machines using this Mecanum wheel design.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: HELICAL ROBOTICS, LLCInventors: Keith L. Schlee, Bruce A. Schlee

Publication number: 20130285342Abstract: The present invention provides a top frame made from a thermoset foam material. The top frame includes a pair of substantially parallel sides and a pair of substantially parallel ends connected to the sides to form a generally rectangular frame structure. The frame structure has an inner layer and outer surface defining a thickness. The thermoset foam material varies in density along the frame structure thickness such that the density of the thermoset foam material is greatest near the frame structure outer surface to form a hard outer shell.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventor: Jason Frankenberg

Patent number: 8567798Abstract: A multi-wheeled base for a mobile cart includes one or more swiveling, optionally locking, caster wheels and one or more non-swiveling traction wheels to improve the maneuverability of the cart by making it easier to steer and stop. The traction wheels may be manually-engaged traction wheels, which may be operated by a cam and lever. The traction wheels may also be automatically-engaged traction wheels operated by a motor and a threaded shaft, and activated by a motion-sensitive sensor or by an on/off electrical switch or button. The traction wheels are preferably in contact with the floor when the mobile cart is moving, and raised above the surface of the floor when the cart is stationary.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2011Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Jaco, Inc.Inventors: Alfred P.
