Abstract: A truck assembly including a housing adapted to be mounted to a skateboard or the like. An axle bracket is positioned partially in the housing and is mounted for rotation transverse to the longitudinal axis. The axle bracket includes a projecting upper end portion and a bottom end portion adapted to receive a transversely extending axle and wheel assembly. A resilient member, located at least partially in the housing, is provided and is adapted to resist transverse rotation of the axle bracket, and provide a restoring force. In addition, a wedge member is provided, having an aperture configured for receiving the projecting upper end portion of the axle bracket to establish a direct coupling therebetween. For example, the wedge member aperture and the projecting upper end portion of the axle bracket may have complementary, engaging polygonal configurations. The truck assembly may further include a rotational lock subassembly structured to prevent wheel bind during a rider effected turn of the skateboard.

Abstract: A trailing rod assembly is provided to couple front ends of two lower beams of a baby carrier to a bicycle chain stay. The trailing rod assembly includes a substantially S-shape rod, a front coupler mounted to a front end of the rod, a rear coupler mounted to a rear end of the rod, a wheel seat mounted to a mediate portion of the rod, and a beam-fixing seat mounted between the wheel seat and the rear coupler. The front coupler includes a main plate, a movable plate, a fixing knob, and a flexible tube, wherein the chain stay is securely held between the main plate and the movable plate. The wheel seat includes an L-shape slot for retaining an axle of a front wheel of the baby carrier. The rear coupler includes a lower plate, an upper plate, and two fixing knobs, wherein the rear end of the rod is soldered to a surface of a mediate groove of the lower plate.

Abstract: A steerable machinery trailer (1) has a chassis (2, 33, 35, 36) intermediate a pivotal towing attachment (26, 29, 30, 46) and trailer wheels (3) proximate a rear portion of the chassis. The trailer wheels have pivotal attachment to the trailer and are pivotal for steering with a steering shaft (4) that is length-controllable intermediate rigid positioning on the chassis and a steering arm (6) attached to a steering rod (7) that is connected to a pivotal attachment of the trailer wheels to the chassis. Separately and optionally from being pivotal on the pivotal towing attachment by wheel-following of the trailer wheels, the chassis is pivotal on the pivotal towing attachment with a positioning shaft (8) that is length controllable intermediate rigid positioning on the chassis and a rigid lateral attachment (5, 9) to the towing vehicle. Length changes of the steering shaft steer the trailer wheels to guide the rear portion of the trailer from-side-to-side for selective turn-positioning of the trailer wheels.

Abstract: A cargo support device increases the cargo-carrying capacity of standard two-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles, motorcycles, and mopeds. The cargo support device includes a base extension frame mounted to the two-wheeled vehicle. The base extension frame can be mounted to the bottom bracket shell or detachably mounted at three connection points to the bottom bracket shell or chainstays and rear wheel dropouts of the two-wheeled vehicle. The rear wheel assembly is transferred from its original dropouts to new dropouts located on the base extension frame. The original chain, rear brakes, and gear accessories, if any, are extended so as to accommodate the displacement of the rear wheel assembly of the two-wheeled vehicle.

Abstract: A boot for use with a snowboard having a binding for attachment to the boot. The boot includes a base, a highback, and an upper. The base includes a binding-receiving plate for attaching the boot to the binding on the snowboard. The base also has toe and heel ends. The base is formed with a toecap at the toe end and has a heel counter at the heel end. Tread projects from the bottom of the base for traction when the boot is not attached to the snowboard. The highback extends upwardly from the heel counter of the base. The highback provides aft support to the user. The upper is fixedly attached to the base and is arranged and configured to receive the foot and ankle of the user. The upper has a rearward side adjacent the highback. The upper is more flexible than the base and the highback. A base strap is connected to opposing sides of the base and extends across a portion of the upper.
