Patent number: 11148740Abstract: A rack for scooters is disclosed. The rack generally includes a base portion and a rack plate mounted to the base portion. The rack plate may include a top plate that is generally parallel to the ground and a front plate extending downward from the top plate. The top plate may include a plurality of slots, each of which is configured to receive a neck portion of a scooter. Each of the slots may be configured to support a scooter in an upright position when the scooter is placed therein. The slots may be tapered, allowing for scooters of varying designs to be supported therein. The rack plate may also include one or more apertures configured to receive a portion of a locking mechanism, such that the locking mechanism can be used to secure a scooter within a slot to prevent theft.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Everlast Climbing Industries, Inc.Inventor: Joel Greenblatt

Publication number: 20210154548Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall comprises one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the upper portion of the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. When the climbing wall is substantially vertically oriented, the system for adjusting the incline of the climbing wall may extend only a small distance from the support wall so that the adjustable-incline climbing wall has a relatively small footprint. In some embodiments, the climbing wall may also comprise one or more fitness accessories that can brought to an optimal height for a particular user through adjustment of the climbing wall incline.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2021Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventors: Timothy Shawn Sudeith, Sarah Mae Howard, Benjamin Tiffin, Joel Greenblatt, Joseph Sweeney, Aaron Jon Baumgartner, Justin Lee

Publication number: 20200248451Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to climbing wall assemblies having a variety of improvements. For instance, the climbing wall assemblies may include connectors to attach the surface panels to the framework, in which the connectors may be mounted substantially anywhere along the front of the framework and at substantially any angle, providing for the securement of climbing panels in various geometries. The climbing wall assemblies may also include braces that may easily be adjusted to a desired length and configuration during construction of a climbing wall. The climbing wall assemblies may also include variable-angle, integral front posts, which provide for the easy and stable securement of climbing panels in various geometries. These improvements provide climbing wall assemblies that may be easily assembled to produce a desirable climbing wall structure having few framework components.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2020Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Timothy Shawn Sudeith, Sarah Mae Howard, Joel Greenblatt, Joseph Sweeney

Patent number: 9969446Abstract: The presently disclosed technology is related to an assembly for the parking of one or more bicycles that includes a mounting bracket and an arm. The mounting bracket is configured for attachment to a wall. The proximal end of the arm is pivotally attached to the mounting bracket and the distal end of the arm has at least one opening configured for the attachment of a bicycle lock. The assembly is configured so that the arm may be secured in at least two different types of positions. The first type of position is a space-saving position, to which a user may position the assembly when no bicycle parking is needed. In the space-saving position, the arm may be positioned so as to be substantially parallel with the wall to which the assembly is mounted. The second type of position is a locking position, to which a user may position the assembly when bicycle parking is needed.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: EVERLAST CLIMBING INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventor: Joel Greenblatt
