Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a powered system for skateboards is presented which has a base plate, a drive unit, a wheel assembly, and straps. In one arrangement, the system is connected to a skateboard utilizing straps such that the system may be easily attached to and removed from the skateboard. In one arrangement, the system has a single, centrally located wheel which causes the front wheels of the skateboard to be lifted off the ground. In this arrangement, the single wheel is curved in order to allow for turning of the skateboard when utilizing the system. In one arrangement, the wheel is caused to rotate by a motor and a battery used to provide electricity to motor.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a folding chair is provided having a frame, a seat operably connected to the frame, a backrest operably connected to the frame, and a counterbalance assembly, among other components. The backrest is configured to move between an upright position and a reclined position. The counterbalance assembly is configured to apply a counterbalance force to the backrest. In one or more arrangements, the counterbalance assembly is configured to provide a counterbalance force to move the backrest to the upright position in absence of an opposing force. In one or more arrangements the counterbalance assembly is configured to hold the backrest at one or more intermediate positions between the upright position and the reclined position. In one or more arrangements the counterbalance assembly is configured to increase the counterbalance force applied to the backrest at one or more intermediate positions between the upright and reclined positions.
