Publication number: 20140131968Abstract: A drift scooter comprising a longitudinal frame including opposed leading and trailing end portions. A steering assembly is pivotably disposed on the leading end portion and includes a transverse member with two wheels rotatably supported on opposite ends of the transverse member. A stem is fixed in perpendicular orientation relative to the transverse member and a handlebar is connected to the stem. A rear wheel assembly is pivotably disposed on the trailing end portion, wherein the wheel assembly pivots about an upwardly extending pivot axis. The rear wheel assembly is preferably biased toward a centered position, aligned with a centerline of the frame. A resilient member is connected between the frame and a leading portion of the caster. The resilient member may be in the form of an extension spring. Means for adjusting the tension of the extension spring may also be included.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2014Publication date: May 15, 2014Inventors: Jack B. Lovley, II, Ken Edlauer

Publication number: 20110068554Abstract: A non-motorized foot board scooter including a frame, a front wheel and a rear wheel, a steering assembly, and a drive train. The drive train includes a kick arm that rotates the rear wheel when the kick arm is pushed backwards by the rider. The kick arm is centered with the rear wheel and a kick guard is located between the rear wheel and the kick arm. A first sprocket is mounted to the arm. The rear wheel has an associated second sprocket that is connected to the rear wheel via a clutch. A chain is mounted to the frame and extends around the first and second sprockets. The chain is routed such that as the arm is rotated the chain is drawn across the second sprocket thereby rotating the drive wheel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: BRAVO SPORTSInventors: Anthony Armand, Ken Edlauer, Jack B.

Patent number: 7909004Abstract: A leash assembly includes a housing having a hand grip. A leash forming part of the assembly includes a first end and a second end that defines a leash handle. An intermediate section of the leash is extendable and retractable through the housing. The assembly also includes features for allowing travel of the leash in a first direction through the housing in response to a user pulling on the leash handle, and simultaneously preventing travel of the leash in an opposite second direction through the housing. Another feature of the assembly allows selective disengagement of the leash so that it may travel in the opposite second direction through the housing.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2005Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Inventors: Spencer J. Thompson, Ken Edlauer

Publication number: 20040168356Abstract: The present invention is a lace locking system that eliminates the inconveniences of a conventional lacing system. The design reroutes laces behind the ankle to a “T pull” handle that incorporates a “lace lock” that allows length adjustment to the laces. When the “T-pull” handle is pulled upon, the laces cinch and the handle is then placed into its rest. This provides the user with a “memory lace system” so the laces do not have to be adjusted and tied every time a shoe or skate is placed onto a foot.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2003Publication date: September 2, 2004Inventor: Ken Edlauer
