Abstract: An insulated device having a body assembly, lid assembly and closure assembly. The body assembly includes a plurality of walls and a floor forming a storage compartment. The closure assembly includes a body closure member having a first magnetic or ferro-magnetic member positioned proximate a wall top surface of at least one of the plurality of walls. The closure assembly also includes a lid closure member having a second magnetic or ferro-magnetic member positioned proximate a lid bottom surface. At least one of the body closure member and the lid closure member includes a first housing member for receiving one of the first or second magnetic or ferro-magnetic members. The storage compartment is enclosed and substantially sealed when the body closure member and the lid closure member are operably engaged, and the storage compartment is accessible when the body closure member and the lid closure member are disengaged.

Abstract: A collapsible tent is provided having windows which are provided at negative angles, facing the ground. In this configuration, the windows are protected from the entry of rain there through without the aid of a cover. The collapsible tent includes a shell and a frame securable to the shell for supporting the shell. The frame includes at least one outer pole for supporting a wail portion of the shell. The outer pole includes an upper curved section for supporting a window portion on the wall of the shell, where the outer pole positions the window in a substantially downwardly facing direction.

Abstract: A towable (20) that is convertible between a first mode in which at least one recess (32) is provided in the towable and a user may ride sitting in the recess to a second mode in which the at least one recess is filled, and the user can ride on top of the recess. A bladder (36) may fill the recess in the second mode. A cover (40) may be provided so as to present a smooth outer covering over the bladder (36) for a rider's comfort. Two or more such recesses (32) and bladders (36) may be provided on a single towable.

Abstract: An apparatus for assisting an elderly or physically limited individual in walking or carrying items up or down a stairway includes a guide rail assembly fixedly positioned along the wall of a stairway. A handle is connected to a support bar assembly, and the support bar assembly attaches to the guide rail assembly. The guide rail assembly typically has a tubular inner rail fixedly housed within a tubular outer rail, the outer rail typically includes a guide track along its length, and the inner rail typically includes a pin slot which aligns with the guide track. To operate the apparatus, the user grasps the handle while supporting the upper body on the support bar and moves the support bar assembly along the guide track while walking along the stairway. The handle and support bar assembly can be placed into a braking position as needed while moving along the stairway.
