Publication number: 20180080241Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a bicycle storage unit that comprises an enclosure defining an interior compartment that is sized to hold a bicycle. The enclosure has first and second sidewalls, each of the first and second sidewalls having a frame with a curved upper element and one or more side panels. The enclosure also comprises a curved rear panel and a curved door panel, the curved door panel being movable between a closed position and an open position. Embodiments of the bicycle storage unit are configured so that when the door is in the open position, the bicycle storage unit does not take up any more public space than when the door is in the closed position. Moreover, embodiments of the bicycle storage unit include a locking mechanism that allows a user to utilize a conventional bicycle U-lock to secure the door in a closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2016Publication date: March 22, 2018Inventors: Joel Greenblatt, Andrew Patrick Kennedy Lageson

Patent number: 9873472Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a bicycle parking structure comprising a plurality of bicycle hangers supported by a crossbar assembly. Each bicycle hanger is configured to support a bicycle in a substantially vertical position. The bicycle hangers are spaced apart from one another along the length of the crossbar assembly. Each of the bicycle hangers may be secured to the crossbar assembly so that the bicycle hanger is fixed at a desired position or unsecured from the crossbar assembly so that the position of the bicycle hanger along the length of the crossbar assembly may be adjusted. In this manner, the distance between adjacent bicycles need not be fixed and the bicycle parking structure can be adapted for a particular space. The bicycle parking structure is designed to provide for a space-efficient, high-volume parking of bicycles.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 23, 2018Assignee: EVERLAST CLIMBING INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Joel Greenblatt, Andrew Kennedy Lageson

Publication number: 20170350378Abstract: A pump that includes a body having a base and a top portion, wherein the base is configured to be anchored to the ground and the top portion is detachably connected to an upper plate in the body. The pump includes a handle assembly including a piston rod, handle bar, and cap that are detachably connected to each other by a fastener. The pump includes a tube positioned in the body. The tube slidably receives the piston rod and is connected to an air line. A hose is connected to the air line and extends from the body. The hose has a head configured to engage the nozzle of a tire. When the piston rod is moved downward within the tube, air is displaced from the tube and through the air line to the hose such that the head dispenses air.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2017Publication date: December 7, 2017Inventors: Andrew Patrick Kennedy Lageson, Joel Greenblatt

Patent number: 9822528Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to shelter assemblies for bicycles that can be custom designed in a variety of configurations using a relatively small number of modular, easily assembled components. The shelter assembly comprises at least first and second uprights, a crossbar bridging the first and second uprights, and a plurality of roof panels secured to the crossbar. Each roof panel is constructed from a shielding element and one or more rafter elements, which allows each roof panel to be independently rotatable to a plurality of different angles. By securing the roof panels to the crossbar, and in some embodiments the uprights, in a desired configuration, one may prepare a shelter assembly that is custom designed for a particular installation location.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2017Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: EVERLAST CLIMBING INDUSTRIES, INC.Inventors: Joel Greenblatt, Andrew Patrick Kennedy Lageson

Publication number: 20160280296Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2015Publication date: September 29, 2016Inventor: Joel Greenblatt
