  • Patent number: 10486728
    Abstract: A collapsible dolly assembly includes a pair of frames that are each selectively urged between a deployed position and a collapsed position. A pair of rear wheels is rotatably coupled to the frame to roll along a support surface. A pair of front wheels is rotatably coupled to the frame to roll along the support surface. A dolly is hingedly coupled to the frame to support an object thereby facilitating the object to be transported along the support surface. A pair of skid units is movably coupled to an associated one of the frames. Each of the skid units is selectively positioned in a deployed position. In this way each of the skid units frictionally engages a staircase thereby facilitating the object to be urged upwardly and downwardly along the staircase. A braking unit is movably coupled to the frame to selectively engage the staircase when the skid unit is positioned in the deployed position. Thus, the braking unit retains the object at a selected point along the staircase.

  • Patent number: 10259479
    Abstract: A game cart for hauling or carrying a large game animal is collapsible between a deployed position and a collapsed position. The game cart includes an extension member moveably connected with a frame. The extension member rotates about a pivot axis to collapse first and second legs inwardly towards the frame. First and second wheels may be removed from operational stub axles on the first and second legs and may be stored on storage stub axles attached to the extension member. When the game cart is collapsed, the wheels are carried by the extension member so as to allow the entire cart to be carried by a strap. After the cart is carried by a hunter to a remote location, the cart is deployed by reversing the steps of collapsing the cart. The cart carries a hunted large game animal, after a hunt, from a remote location in the wilderness.
