Patent number: 10005531Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting a human propelled watercraft having a pair of flexible fins extending into the water. The invention allows the user to easily adjust the propulsion device to match the user's leg length. The invention consists of a push button mechanism that converts a vertical motion into a horizontal motion allowing a locking pin to retract and the propulsion device to be adjusted. Once an adjustment position is selected, the user releases the button and a spring reverses the motion of the pin, locking the mechanism into position.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Hobie Cat CompanyInventors: William John Broadway, Gregory Scott Ketterman, James Taylor Czarnowski, Jason Christopher Kardas, Philip James Dow, Drew William Brackett, Shane Yellin, Elizabeth Catherine Sexton
