Abstract: A collapsible boundary delineator includes a base for placement on a ground surface and a divider member that is movable relative to the base between a raised, operative position and a lowered, inoperative position. The base includes a pair of base members that are engageable with each other, and the divider member includes a pair of spaced apart ends secured one to each of the base members. When the base members are engaged together the divider member is in the raised, operative position and when the base members are disengaged from each other the divider member is in the lowered, inoperative position. A selectively releasable latch arrangement carried by the base members is movable between a latching position for selectively maintaining the base members in engagement with each other and a release position for selectively enabling the base members to be moved apart from each other.

Abstract: A vehicle-mounted equipment carrier includes a mounting member, an equipment support, and a mast. A lower end of the mast is pivotably interconnected with the mounting member and an upper end of the mast supports the equipment support. The mast is pivotable between an upright position for transport and a lowered position that positions the mast rearwardly of the vehicle. A movable connection between the mast and the equipment support lowers an inner end of the equipment support while raising an outer end when the mast is lowered, and raises the inner end of the equipment support while lowering the outer end when the mast is raised. The center of gravity of the equipment carried by the equipment support remains at a constant elevation during movement of the mast between the upright position and the lowered position.

Abstract: A hitch-type equipment carrier for mounting to a vehicle includes a coupling member, a brace member fixed to the coupling member, and a wedge member that is movable relative to the coupling member. A manually operable actuator is positioned between the brace member and the wedge member. When the coupling member is positioned within the hitch receiver passage, operation of the actuator moves the wedge member in a first direction toward the open end of the hitch receiver passage. The wedge member moves outwardly upon advancement through the open end of the hitch receiver passage. Such transverse movement of the wedge member brings the wedge member into contact with one or more walls of the hitch receiver, which forces the coupling member against one or more of almost walls of the hitch receiver for preventing rattle of the coupling member within the passage of the hitch receiver.

Abstract: A system is provided for determining total exerted power value that is determined based on power measured at only one side of a bicycle by determining a side-to-side pedaling power asymmetry and estimating the total exerted power as a function of values of the one-sided power measurement and the side-to-side pedaling power asymmetry.

Abstract: A bicycle repair stand includes an upright column. A first repair station includes a repair rack extending from the upright column in a first direction. The repair rack retains a bicycle at an elevated position relative to a column base. A tool storage face is provided along an exterior of the upright column. At least one retractable tool is coupled along the tool storage face. The at least one retractable tool includes a tool, a cable coupled with the tool, and a retraction mechanism coupled with the cable and configured to pull the tool toward the tool storage face when released by an operator.

Abstract: A system for determining power expended by a bicyclist while riding a bicycle based on speed measurements or sensed-speed values. The system includes a sensing device arranged for detecting a speed-related value of the bicycle and a processor that communicates with the sensing device. The processor is configured to determine a change in the speed-related value and to determine a power value based on the change in the speed-related value.

Abstract: A self-adjusting bolt action skewer clamp for a bicycle trainer includes a hollow, outer support member and an inner engagement member located inside the support member. The support member has a helical slot with a pocket at one end. The inner engagement member is attached to a handle via a carrier contained within a passage defined by the inner engagement member, and the handle can slide within the helical slot such that the inner engagement member will extend past the support member as the handle is rotated around the helical slot. Once it reaches the pocket, the handle will remain locked in place. The clamp tightens onto a rear axle of the bicycle. The spring allows the bicycle trainer to accommodate bicycles of various sizes without adjustment.

Abstract: A bicycle trainer includes a reverse resistance unit mounting arrangement that is configured to increase traction between a bicycle wheel and a resistance unit upon an increase in the speed of rotation of the wheel. The reverse resistance unit mounting arrangement is configured to mount the resistance unit in a suspension-type manner and has an actuator that initially positions the resistance unit against the bicycle wheel. The reverse resistance unit mounting arrangement tends to pivot the resistance unit against the bicycle wheel during use, to automatically bias the wheel toward the resistance unit to prevent slippage between the bicycle tire and the roller of the resistance unit.

Abstract: A controlled pressure resistance unit engagement system for bicycle training devices uses a clutch arrangement to limit the maximum torque applied. By doing so, a consistent, correct pressure on a bicycle tire by the resistance unit is achieved, thereby avoiding damage to the resistance unit and the bicycle tire and allowing a more consistent resistance unit power curve to be achieved.
