Abstract: A simple and elegant sliding entry/exit system for a boat that mounts below a pontoon boat deck or other similar boat structure. The system has a slide track assembly and a fold-down step assembly. The fold-down step assembly includes a sliding frame that slides along a slide track and pivots to a pre-set step pitch orientation where the step can be folded out of a compact seated position within the sliding frame to provide a generally horizontal surface for entering or exiting the boat. The system can easily be folded back up to provide a compact and low-profile stowaway position underneath the boat deck that is out of the way and does not impact boating activities.

Abstract: Pool stands, trays, devices, and methods for supporting beverage containers on the edge of a swimming pool while supporting a pool umbrella. One embodiment of the stand can be generally disc shaped with a lower front step portion, and a through-hole passing through the stand to allow an umbrella post to be supported therein. A clamping screw knob can lock the umbrella post to the stand. The stand can be positioned on the edge of a swimming pool so that shade from the umbrella can be provide to person(s) in the pool. Another embodiment can have a generally rectangular configuration with a lower front step portion that can also be positioned on the edge of a swimming pool so that shade from the umbrella can be provided to person(s) in the pool. The interior of the stands can be hollow, and can be filled with a ballast, such as sand or water.

Abstract: Visors and methods of using a soft type foam visor formed from a pliable and flexible material, such as but not limited to EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) having patterns of through-holes and partial cutouts for allowing accessories such as labels, charms, badges, puncture tool and sunglass/eyeglass supports and the like, to be plugged into the holes and cut-outs and easily removable and interchangeable with other accessories. A removable rear head strap be attached to the visor, having a plurality of holes with fasteners to adjust the strap to different head sizes.

The visor assemblies use a removable rear head strap having a plurality of holes with rivets that allow the strap to adjust about different head sizes. A puncture tool will turn a partial cutout into a complete throughhole cutout. The puncture tool is mountable into a cutout hole. An adapter is mountable to support sunglasses/eyeglasses.

Abstract: A lifting apparatus for raising and lowering a vessel such as personal watercraft, jet skis, inflatables may be mounted to a transom on boats, to bulkheads and to docks for raising and lowering vessels. A single actuator is used for raising and lowering a cradle that supports the vessel. An arm driven by the actuator is pivotally mounted to a mounting bracket and is extendable to different lengths. The cradle includes a self-leveling carriage that may use rollers to roll on a curved surface of the cradle allowing the supported watercraft to remain in a substantially level position thereon. An adjustable swivel mount is used to adjust the cradle to a desired horizontal orientation.

Abstract: Devices, apparatus and systems for raising and lowering watercraft such as personal watercraft, jet skis, inflatables from transoms on boats, from bulkheads and from docks, and for raising and lowering other types of vessels. A single actuator such as a fluid operated cylinder and single piston can raise and lower a cradle that supports the personal watercraft. An crank bracket can be fixably attached to a crank shaft, and an arm which supports the cradle can be fixably attached to the crank shaft. The arm can be extendable to different lengths. The cradle can include a self-leveling carriage that uses rollers to roll on a curved surface of the cradle allowing the supported watercraft to remain in a substantially level position thereon. An adjustable swivel mount can also be used to lock the cradle to the arm in a fixed orientation.
