  • Patent number: 6651573
    Abstract: The benefits of a sporty and maneuverable personal watercraft and those of a larger sport boat, having the ability to accommodate a large number of riders, are combined into a single watercraft. The watercraft is equipped with a rear sundeck large enough for passengers to sun bathe while the watercraft is stationary. Disposed beneath the sundeck are storage compartments, each having a lip-less seal for preventing the ingress of water into the compartments. Additionally, the storage compartments are large enough to store a variety of items and accessories such as food, clothes, and first-aid materials. The watercraft is designed such that a relationship between the position of its center of gravity and the position of its center of buoyancy, prevents the watercraft from tipping over even when three of four adults of average size simultaneously board the watercraft from the same side.

  • Patent number: 6644308
    Abstract: A breathing mask is provided for a helmet which reduces the formation of water on the lens of the eyeglasses of the wearer or on the shield of the helmet. The helmet comprises a head portion, a shield portion, and a breathing mask. The shield portion comprises a jaw shield and an eye shield. The breathing mask is hermetically adapted to the face of the wearer to evacuate the wearer's breath outside the helmet through breathing channels. The jaw shield can be pivotally opened or closed and is locked to the head portion in the closed position. The eye shield is pivotally connected to the head portion and includes a see-through shield and a tinted shield. The tinted shield can be lowered inside the helmet to protect the wearer from sun rays and reflexions.

  • Patent number: 6547027
    Abstract: An all terrain vehicle, also known as an ATV, has a seat designed to comfortably accommodate a rider over a wide variety of rugged terrain. The seat is profiled so that the rider may easily shift body weight and lean with the vehicle while traversing steep and uneven terrain. The seat has a dip and taper positioned beneath a riders' knee and lower thigh to provide the profile. The ATV is also provided with front fenders and mud flaps to protect the rider from debris. The fenders rotate with the wheel to provide the rider with maximum wheel visibility and access. The fenders can also be releasable, thereby rotating around the axis of rotation of the front wheels to break free from obstacles and provide easy access to the wheels beneath the fender. The ATV provides exceptional rider comfort and control.
