  • Patent number: 10011259
    Abstract: In one aspect, there is provided a combination vehicle system, including a drone and a hovercraft body. The drone has a plurality of motor-driven rotors and a controller. The hovercraft body defines a ground-facing chamber having a hover air inlet, and includes a mount for the drone. The drone is removably connectable to the mount in a mounted position so as to form a hovercraft. The controller is programmed to drive the plurality of rotors to maintain stable flight of the drone without the hovercraft body connected thereto. The controller is programmed to drive the first rotor to at least partially lift the hovercraft off a support surface and to drive the second rotor to propel the hovercraft along the support surface.

  • Patent number: 8303364
    Abstract: A remote controlled transformable toy vehicle that is remotely transformable from a standing position to a flying position, where the toy performs like a helicopter and also to a driving position, where the toy performs like a wheeled vehicle. Transformations are carried out on-the-fly by remote control and the toy vehicle has the ability to maintain proper center of gravity for stable flight, takeoff and landing. Also provided is a remotely controlled toy vehicle that is driven by a rotating blade system so as to both drive over the ground and hover or fly in the air.

  • Publication number: 20090223114
    Abstract: An apparatus for trapping live bait and storing the captured bait for later use. The bait trap is submerged in water and small bait creatures enter through a funnel-shaped entrance that gradually tapers to a small opening, which prevents escape once bait has entered the trap. Strategic placement of the small opening and drain holes allow the trap to be used as a storage bucket once bait is captured. Access and transportation are provided by a top-mounted door and carrying handle.
