Patents by Inventor David Mahon

David Mahon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11912085
    Abstract: The application discloses a Drop Deck Trailer having a pivoting axle system that allows the deck of the trailer to be incrementally lowered to the ground. When coupled to a tow vehicle, the partially lowered deck becomes a ramp to load and unload a vehicle. The unloaded trailer can be backed into a standard garage, uncoupled, and lowered completely to the ground. The UTV or light vehicle can then be front-loaded on the trailer. This capability allows the convenience and cost savings of simultaneously storing a UTV or other light vehicle in the same standard garage space. A unique articulated tongue assembly allows the operator to minimize the footprint of the parked trailer, allowing smaller spaces to be used for storage or simply eliminate a trip hazard. The Drop Deck Trailer is a combination of innovative features that provides convenience and cost savings.

  • Publication number: 20180021667
    Abstract: A method of executing a wagering game based on total point count in final hands using non-standard playing cards uses a set of non-standard playing cards comprising a set of fifty-two physical playing cards having five equal numbers of colored sets of non-standard playing cards having number values of 1 through 11. Random playing cards are provided to player position and dealer/banker position. After establishing final player position hands and dealer position hand, the respective total point counts in the hands are determined, with points contributed by only one of the five equal numbers of colored sets being only negative value points. The respective total point counts are compared to both a target point count and against each other to determine a winning outcome. Special rankings are created by the effect of the negative value playing cards.
