Patent number: 10509299Abstract: A device for shielding an outdoor camera from light interference. The light shielding device includes a visor having a brim perpendicularly and pivotally connected to a panel, wherein the panel can rest flush against a support and the brim extends over a camera in order to shield the camera lens from direct sunlight and inclement weather. A first strap extends from a first side of the panel and a second strap extending from a second side of the panel, wherein a distal end of each of the first and second strap removably secure to one another to form a loop. A male and female fastener are disposed at the distal ends of each strap and removably secure the device to the support. In some embodiments, a plurality of teeth extend from an interior side of the panel and can penetrate the support for further securing the device thereto.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Inventor: Travis Cook

Patent number: 9114304Abstract: A system of attaching a ski binding to a ski allowing quick interchange of bindings to other skis, and without the use of any hand tools. A first fastener is permanently attached to a ski, while the binding is permanently attached to a binding carrier plate that includes a mating, second fastener. The first and second fasteners are engaged by a quick release mechanism that is longitudinally shorter than a typical direct mounting system for a binding, resulting in reduced scrub area at the mounting to the ski. The binding mounting plate can extend longitudinally beyond the binding to provide mounting area for vibration dampers and camber adjusters.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Inventors: Cordell Pearce, Ben Anderson, Travis Cook

Publication number: 20120214626Abstract: Disclosed is a modified CVT flyweight that allows for a 1 to 15 degree bidirectional change of pitch-angle of the cam section of a flyweight to variably affect the load placed on a connected drive-unit to match changes in elevation or terrain. Enabling the cam pitch-angle adjustment is a secondary pivotal axis (separate from the primary centrifugal axis) that is incrementally rotated and held in position by a manually rotated threaded fastener acting as a cantilever upon one side of the pivot. There may be removable weights in the form of threaded screws, pins or rivets that can be added or subtracted from the flyweight in addition to changes in the cam pitch-angle to affect the overall mass of the flyweight and also adjust the maximum RPM's of the engine.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2012Publication date: August 23, 2012Inventor: Travis A.

Patent number: 7726927Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for aiding in the speed and simplicity of the adjustment of the clicker-style cam bolts employed by TRA-type snowmobile drive clutches, manufactured by Bombardier Recreational Products. The apparatus comprises a barrel type nut with a collared head and a compression wire spring which fits telescopically over said nut and against said collared head, and a locking set screw to secure the apparatus against rotational movement or removal. This assembly replaces the conventional hexagonal lock nut presently used on TRA-type drive clutches. This apparatus enables the user to change the linear position of the cam bolt in the drive clutch housing to enable the hexagonal head of the clicker-style bolt to clear its respective hexagonally indexed pocket, which is molded into the drive clutch housing, and to be turned to any one of six different degrees of rotation, thereby changing the shift-out RPM setting of the drive clutch quickly and with greater ease than conventional methods.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: June 1, 2010Inventor: Travis Cook

Publication number: 20060091635Abstract: A closed pneumatic synchronization system is described, wherein two actuators are connected to each other by conduits transferring air or other gas in such a way that when one actuator is forced up or down, the changes in air pressure cause the other actuator to move in the same direction. The ability of gases to expand and contract cushions the shocks to the chassis caused by changes in the terrain or direction of travel, and the communication between the actuators keeps the chassis parallel to the terrain. No sensors are needed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2005Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventor: Travis Cook

Publication number: 20040140637Abstract: An emergency ski brake system located above and to the side and acting in the close vicinity of the pivot point of the runner of a ski vehicle. The preferred embodiment has one or more protruding braking members on each ski that when released by a latching mechanism, rotate forward helically around the outside edge of the runner to substantially engage the terrain more so than does the bottom surface of the runner. The protruding member may take the form of a blade or spike, prong or other single, plural, smooth or toothed members that extend around and under the ski to stab 1-6 inches into the terrain provided that the mechanism and attached protruding member is located alongside and perpendicular to the pivot point of the runner and actuates in a forward, helical rotation in relation to the direction of the runner.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2003Publication date: July 22, 2004Inventors: Travis Cook, Joseph Putney

Publication number: 20020084124Abstract: The present invention comprises a braking or steering mechanism that is located near the steering pivot point of a runner of a ski vehicle. In a conventional snowmobile, for example, the steering pivot point is near the middle of the longitudinal axis of the runner, and, hence, the preferred braking and steering mechanism extends from near, but not at the rear end of, the runner, to contact the snow or ground to slow or stop the snowmobile movement relative to the snow or ground. The preferred braking or steering mechanism comprises a brake that is a retractable, protruding member that extends down from the runner bottom surface near the steering pivot point a sufficient distance to frictionally engage the snow/ground significantly more than does the bottom of the runner. The protruding member may take the forms of a prong or spike, a blade or plate, or other single, plural, smooth or toothed member(s) that can make frictional contact with the snow/ground.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2001Publication date: July 4, 2002Inventors: Travis Cook, Joseph Putney

Patent number: 6308966Abstract: A braking and steering mechanism that is located near, but behind the steering pivot point of a runner of a ski vehicle. In a conventional snowmobile, for example, the steering pivot point is near the middle of the longitudinal axis of the runner, and, hence, the preferred braking and steering mechanism extends from behind the middle of the runner, but not at the rear end of the runner, to contact the snow or ground to slow or stop the snowmobile movement relative to the snow or ground. The preferred braking and steering mechanism has a brake that is a retractable, protruding member that extends down from the runner bottom surface near, but behind the steering pivot point a sufficient distance to frictionally engage the snow/ground significantly more than does the bottom of the runner. The protruding member may take the forms of a prong or spike, a blade or plate, or other single, plural, smooth or toothed member(s) that can make frictional contact with the snow/ground.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1999Date of Patent: October 30, 2001Inventors: Travis A.
