Abstract: The present invention is a cargo carrier. The preferred embodiment is a cantilever displacement cargo carrier with a beam. The first end of the beam comprises a cantilever displacement housing with a pivot hole. A pivot beam is pivotally attached to the beam at the cantilever displacement housing by a pivot pin inserted into the pivot hole and a pivot bushing. The pivot beam preferably has at least one pin saddle where a horizontal bearing pin with at least one bearing is inserted. The bearing preferably has an outer circumference that extends above the top surface of the pivot beam and contacts the cantilever displacement housing. The second end of the beam has a receiver saddle where the pivot beam can be locked in place at an anchor bushing by a retainer pin.

Abstract: The present invention is a personal watercraft lift and transporting cart. In particular, the present invention is directed to a lift that can lift and rotate a personal watercraft (“PWC”) so that repairs can be conducted more ergonomically. The lift preferably has two lifting arms attached to upright frame members. In turn, the upright frame members extend vertically from a mounting base. The lift also preferably has two actuators pivotally attached to the lifting arms at one end and attached to the mounting base at the other end. When the actuators extend, the lifting arms lift and rotate. The transporting cart preferably has a cart chassis, a hull bunk and two receivers, where the first and second receiver are spaced to allow insertion of the first and second lifting arms so that the cart can be lifted and rotated by the lift with PWC mounted on the cart.

Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle lift. In particular, the present invention is directed to a vehicle lift that has an adjustable vehicle receiver mount that is vertically adjustable and horizontally adjustable. The vehicle receiver mount has two lifting arms and two support arms pivotally attached. The lifting arms are each pivotally attached to a platform shoe and the support arms are attached to vertical rotation cups. The extruded aluminum vehicle platform is pivotally mounted on four pivot arms. The pivot arms are pivotally attached to the platform. The lift is attached to the vehicle receiver mount and is also attached to a crossbar mounted between the two lifting arms. The drive is preferably a single unit hydraulic drive. The vehicle receiver mount also has a towing receiver. The vehicle platform preferably has two channels with tethering and anchoring hardware, a vehicle stop and entrance ramp mounted on the channels.

Abstract: Internally illuminable playing cards are disclosed. The disclosed playing cards may include a polymeric body, at least one light-emitting diode (LED) at least partially inside of the polymeric body, a battery (or a slot in the polymeric body for receiving a battery) for providing power to the at least one LED, and a switch at least partially inside the polymeric body and operatively connected to the at least one LED to facilitate turning the at least one LED on and off. As can be understood based on this disclosure, the internally illuminable playing cards can be used for flourishing and cardistry techniques, in a manner similar to the way typical paper playing cards are used for such techniques.

Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle lift. In particular, the present invention is directed to a vehicle lift that can be mounted to the rear of a vehicle or used as a stand-alone lift. A preferred embodiment of the lift comprises a vehicle platform mounted to two platform saddles supported by two lifting arms and two support arms. The lifting arms and support arms are pivotally attached to a mount frame at one end and the platform saddles on the other end. A spacer sleeve is attached between the lifting arms and has a lock bar inserted through it. Lift locks are attached to each end of the lock bar and can lock the lift. Two drives are attached to the mount frame at one end and to the spacer sleeve at the other end. When the platform is in a raised position, the drives are extended.

Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle lift. In particular, the present invention is directed to a vehicle lift that can be mounted to the rear of a vehicle or be used as a stand-alone device to lift vehicles. The preferred embodiment comprises a vehicle platform supported by a first lifting arm and a second lifting arm. The lifting arms are mounted to shafts mounted on gears. Each shaft and lifting arm has a corresponding castellated end. A star plate attaches to the shaft, fitting within the castellated ends, and joins the shaft and lifting arm. A chain engages the gears and comprises two segments joined by adjustment rods. The rods adjust chain tension and gear timing. The chain is connected to an arm of a drive. When the arm extends, it moves the chain that rotates the gears and lifting arms and lifts the platform.
