Abstract: A sports trailer system comprised of a first removable module, a second removable module, an integrally molded frame shaped and adapted for the nesting of the first removable module and the second removable module within the frame, and a substantially flat floor surface contiguous with the integrally molded frame. The frame contains at least 90 weight percent of nonmetallic material and is an integral, continuous structure comprised of at least three structural cross-member elements and at least two structural longitudinal structural elements.

Abstract: A ski system for ice fishing shanties is composed of at least two ski members and a plurality of mounting brackets connected with the underside of the floor of the ice fishing shanty which engage the ski members in a selectively removable manner. Each ski member includes a substantially flat elongated ski body and a shovel connected thereto at an incline of approximately between fifty and fifty-five degrees with respect thereto. Each ski member further includes at least two legs projecting perpendicularly with respect to the top side of the elongated ski body. Each leg has a distal top end to which is attached a lip. The lip projects substantially parallel with the elongated ski body toward the tail end thereof. The mounting brackets are spaced and dimensioned to receive, respectively, each of the lips, thereby releasably securing the ski members to the ice fishing shanty.

Abstract: A snow sled comprising a first substantially U-shaped frame having a cross brace that interconnects the first and second side. A second substantially U-shaped frame pivotally connected to the front end of the first frame. A first handle assembly is positioned upon the first frame. A second handle assembly is positioned upon the second frame. A seat assembly is positioned perpendicular to the cross brace. Two forward skis and two rearward skis are secured to the respective second frame and first frame.

Abstract: A wheeled beach sled kit of separate parts adapted for intermittent assemblage and disasemblage thereof into a sled for pulling paraphanelia alternately on sand and pavements including spaced-apart tubular sled-runners rigidly interconnected by forward and rearward axles each mounting spaced-apart wheels that extend below the bottoms of the sled runners, and a pair of rails uprightly mountable in mounting sled runner holes continuous of the tubular sled runners at opposite ends of each sled runner of the paired sled runners, the pair of rails being spaced-apart and having spaced apart horizontal rail-portions when uprightly mounted, a flexible material formed into an open-top contained suspended downwardly from and between the spaced apart horizontal rail-portions, and shade structure including a pair of spaced apart supports mounted on the pair of rails, with a shade-producing fabric mounted on and extending between the shade structures.

Abstract: A portable sportsman seating apparatus has a seat frame mounted on at least one ski for movement between locations. The seat frame has a chamber with a seating surface on the top of the chamber. A flotation cushion is provided defining the seating surface and is supported by the seat frame. The chamber has a bottom with at least one aperture therethrough to allow air to flow into the chamber and thereby allow combustion in the lantern to be supported in the chamber. The seat frame also has a plurality of sides one of which sides is formed at least in part from a material that allows light to pass therethrough and another side which forms the top of the chamber. The top of the chamber has at least a portion thereof formed from material having aperture therethrough which allows the flow of heated air to flow from the chamber. The seating apparatus also includes a collapsible shelter frame having at least a pair of frame members of an inverted generally "U" shape when in the assembled position.

Abstract: A portable, collapsible ice fishing device includes a monolithic frame that has a seat section and a storage section and is adapted to be straddled. The storage section has two doors on which ice fishing reel elements, bobber elements and line brake elements are mounted. The doors are pivotably mounted and are adapted to swing from a downward direction to an upright position. The doors are held in the upright position by a rod. The device also includes peg and peg receiving holes in the reel elements for "remembering" the amount of fishing line fed off of the reel elements.
