Patent number: 11873063Abstract: Various implementations include a sports board storage device. The device includes a housing, one or more linkages, a foot, and one or more linkage members. The housing has a first prong and a second prong. The one or more linkages are pivotably coupled to the first prong. The foot is pivotably coupled to the one or more linkages. The one or more linkage members are coupled to at least one of the one or more linkages. The one or more linkage members are movable relative to the housing to cause rotation of the one or more linkages and to cause the foot to move between a retracted position and an extended position. The foot is closer to the second prong in the extended position than it is in the retracted position.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2023Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Protomet CorporationInventors: Stewart Boyd, Nathan Mellas, Brian Pitcher, Lynn Haynes, William Matthew Reid, Jeff Bohanan, Alec Stuckey

Patent number: 10674842Abstract: A mirror bracket is provided for supporting a mirror in deployed and stowed positions. The mirror bracket includes: a base; a mirror arm pivotally mounted on the base and movable between a deployed position and a stowed position; a first sloped surface of the mirror arm corresponding to the deployed position; a second sloped surface of the mirror arm corresponding to the stowed position; a pin movably mounted on the base and having a tapered end formed thereon, the pin located proximate to the mirror arm such that the pin contacts the first sloped surface when the mirror arm is in the deployed position and such that the pin contacts the second sloped surface when the mirror arm is in the stowed position.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Inventors: Logan Atkins, Mark Idles, William Matthew Reid, Jeff Bohanan

Patent number: 10532798Abstract: A wake tower assembly for use with a watercraft, including an arch portion extending across a width of the watercraft, first and second pivoting structures coupled to first and second ends of the arch portion, the first and second pivoting structures configured to attach to port and starboard portions of the watercraft to facilitate rotational movement of the arch portion between a lowered position and an upright position, and a first locking mechanism provided to the first pivoting structure including a biased pin member configured to engage an opening of the first end such that when the arch portion is rotated from the lowered position to the upright position, a biasing force of the biased pin member causes the biased pin member to engage the opening to mechanically lock the arch portion in the upright position.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2019Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Inventors: Jeff Bohanan, William N. Reid, Michael Shane Garner, Dale Lee Lambert

Patent number: 8770530Abstract: The present general inventive concept provides an adjustable accessory bracket assembly having an adjustment mechanism to adjust one or more axes of rotation of a bracket assembly in order to adjustably position accessory devices, such as a bracket for a mirror or other accessory device. The adjustable accessory bracket assembly can include a handle member, a push rod assembly, and a mounting member such that the handle member pivots with respect to the mounting member. In some embodiments, adjustment of a single rotation axis is provided; other embodiments may be configured to simultaneously adjust multiple axes of freedom for multi-position bracket assemblies.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2011Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Protomet CorporationInventors: Jeff Bohanan, Charles Reeves
