  • Publication number: 20170021850
    Abstract: A seat adapter removably mounts a child seat to a wagon having two opposing walls and an interposed connecting wall, and includes two latch components that mount to the wagon's opposing walls. In some embodiments, the seat adapter includes a cross-member extending between the latch components so that the cross-member provides structural integrity to the wagon if the connecting wall is displaced from its upright use position. In some embodiments, the seat adapter and the child seat can be mounted to the wagon for use with the connecting wall in its upright use position, and in some embodiments the seat adapter and the child seat can be mounted to the wagon for use whether the connecting wall is in its upright use position or its displaced position, with no mechanical interference between any part of the wagon and any part of the adapter or the child seat mounted to it.

  • Patent number: 9474674
    Abstract: A topical leg gear for enhancing performance and reducing the risk of injury. The topical leg gear and kits preferably comprise a flexible sleeve and a lateral foot-ankle buttress, malleolus bone buttresses, and a peroneal longus buttress. The topical leg gear is designed to be worn during periods of physical activity to reduce injury and to train and strengthen the athletes' muscles against injury, advantageously increasing proprioception, neuromuscular communication or both by stimulating critical sensory and tactile receptors in the leg, foot, and ankle. Performance can be enhanced and risk of injury reduced by use of the topical leg gear through isolating, activating, and training muscles to stimulate a stretch reflex, reduce latency in muscle spindles, and speed up a reaction time of muscles by reducing delay in muscle reaction times.

  • Patent number: 9469324
    Abstract: A wagon includes a base and a peripheral wall that form a container for cargo. The peripheral wall includes at least one displaceable wall that for example pivots between an unfolded/upright position and a folded/displaced position. A latch system is typically provided for releasably securing the pivot wall to the two adjacent walls. The latch system includes a latch component on each respective adjacent wall that, when the pivot wall is folded down out of the way, are operable to releasably engage with a cooperating latch component of a car seat, a stroller seat, or an adapter for a car seat and/or a stroller seat. Such a seat adapter in turn typically includes latch components for releasably securing a car seat and/or a stroller seat. In this way, the pivot wall can be displaced from its upright use position and in its place can be provided seating for a child.

  • Publication number: 20160216596
    Abstract: A camera slider system that supports a camera for longitudinal sliding. The camera sliding system comprises a pair of longitudinal rail members and a carriage system. The rail members are spaced at a substantially constant distance apart. The carriage system further comprises of a base plate upon which a camera mounting plate is fixed, along with a pair of wheel support assemblies. Each wheel support assembly engages the corresponding rail member to support longitudinal movement. Each wheel assembly further comprises of three rollers, wherein two rollers engage the interior surface of the corresponding rail member, and one roller engages the exterior surface of the same rail member. The arrangement of rollers is coplanar with the plane of the rail members. The exterior roller of each wheel assembly is adjustable relative to the corresponding rail member to accommodate any flaw in the rail profile.

  • Publication number: 20160167687
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20160124247
    Abstract: An optical viewing device, consisting of glasses, goggles, visor or other head-worn device, comprised of a vertical aperture, or apertures, designed to limit an athlete's visual field of view and increase the user's focus on the ball position. In this manner, the athlete's eye to ball alignment is enhanced, leading to reduced head movements during use. The improved performance is directly enhanced by the improved eye-ball alignment and reduced head movement during the sporting activity.
