Patent number: 12245681Abstract: A hammock stand includes two structural support arms extending from a central base and configured to support a hammock above the base. Each support arm has a curved shape bowing inward at upper ends, such that an overall shape of the hammock stand is tapered. The hammock stand is configured to support a hammock occupant generally oriented transverse to an axis defined along the structural support arms. The structural support arms are coupled to the central base by a coupling assembly. In some examples, the coupling assembly includes a yoke configured to couple the structural support arms to a rotary bearing. The rotary bearing allows the structural support arms, and therefore the hammock, to swivel relative to the base.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignee: Yellow Leaf Hammocks, LLCInventors: Iosef Demin, Rachel Connors, Bryce Gibson, Kurt MacLaurin

Publication number: 20230286604Abstract: An all-terrain gear cart convertible between manual propulsion and trailering and a towing system for establishing a towing relationship between the cart and a towing vehicle. The towing system has a reverse hook structure with first and second towing hooks and a latch member for selectively retaining an engaging portion of a tow and control handle within the towing hooks. A retaining formation of the latch member can be selectively retained by a receiving latch. The reverse hook structure can be formed with a rack affixed to the towing vehicle, or first and second anterior attachment hooks can selectively hook the reverse hook structure to a preexisting rack of the towing vehicle. The gear cart can have a pivotable tailgate and a selectively extendable cargo bed extension structure. The left, right, and anterior frame sections of the cart can be independently pivotable to facilitate achievement of a flatbed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2023Publication date: September 14, 2023Inventors: Bryce Gibson, Kurt MacLaurin

Patent number: 11648970Abstract: A convertible, all-terrain gear cart convertible between modes of manual propulsion, trailering, and support by a motor vehicle. A control arm with a trailer hitch connector permits trailering or manual propulsion and is pivotally coupled to a first end of a cargo bin, and a vehicle engaging member to permit support and transport by a motor vehicle projects from the second end of the cargo bin. Detachable, all-terrain wheels with lateral axes of rotation are retained at a mid-portion of the cargo bin. Cargo retention and roll bars are removably coupled to the cargo bin, and a retractable support leg can cooperate with the wheels to stabilize the gear cart. The vehicle engaging member can comprise a receiver with a mitered end forming a shelf that can be rested on a rigid tongue of a trailer hitch adapter to permit levering of the gear cart relative to a vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2021Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Inventors: Bryce Gibson, Kurt MacLaurin

Publication number: 20220175161Abstract: A multi-functional, convertible blanket that can be used in a blanket configuration or in a wrap configuration. An insulated blanket panel retains first and second hand-receiving structures, such as insulated pockets. Each pocket has a secondary opening between an entrance and an end such that a hand can be selectively retained within the pocket or passed at least partially through the secondary opening. A connected location disposed along the secondary opening can separate the secondary opening into first and second segments for separately receiving the thumbs and fingers of the wearer. An outer wall of each pocket can be formed by first and second overlapping panels with the secondary opening comprising a passage therebetween. An integrated storage pouch with first and second shells is fixed to the blanket panel for storing articles when in a retracted configuration and for storing the blanket panel when in an extended configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2020Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Kurt MacLaurin, Bryce Gibson
