20150014486 | CONTROL SYSTEM AND CONTROL BAR FOR A TRACTION WING - A control system for a traction wing includes a control bar having first and second ends. A first fixing arm is connected to each end of the bar. Each fixing arm has a fixing point for attachment of a respective wing control line. At least one of the fixing arms is an articulated arm that is pivotally connected to its end of the bar and is pivotable between a first position defining a first effective control bar length and a second position defining a second effective control bar length. | 01-15-2015 |
20140049023 | BICYCLE STEM - A bicycle stern has a steering tube clamp with a bore for receiving a steer tube and a pair of parallel spaced arms each having an elongate slot at a distal end. An extension has a proximal end, receivable between the clamp arms, and a bore extending transversely through its proximal end. A pin, extends through the elongate slot in each arm and through the bore in the extension for securing the extension to the steering rube clamp. The pin slots and bore are in non-rotational engagement to prevent rotation of the extension relative to the clamp, and the pin is selectively movable longitudinally within the slots for adjusting reach of the extension. | 02-20-2014 |
20130307232 | BOARD FOR WATER SPORT OR SNOW SPORT AND A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF - A board for water or snow activity includes a planar body having an edge joining vertices of the planar body, and a rail member defined by one or more flexible strips that continuously engage an edge portion of the board, adjacent to the vertices. A protective rail for protecting a water or snow activity board includes elongated flexible strips bent around an edge portion of the board, adjacent a vertex of the board, continuously engaging an edge portion of the board at the vertex. A method for attaching a protective rail to a water sport or snow sport activity board includes engaging an edge of the sports board with flexible protective strips and bending the strips around a vertex of the board, to continuously engage an edge portion of the board, adjacent the vertex of the board. | 11-21-2013 |
20130266442 | PADDLE - A paddle has a first shaft portion with a handle and a second shaft portion with a blade. The first and second shaft portions are telescopically engageable to provide a variable length paddle shaft. The shaft portions include engager connection features and engageable connection features that cooperate for selectively securing the handle and the blade in at least two different rotational orientations. The shaft portions also include two 90-degree offset locking cams that rotate between locked and unlocked conditions. | 10-10-2013 |
20110309199 | CONTROL SYSTEM FOR A TRACTION WING - A control system for a traction wing or a surfing kite includes a bar that is gripped by a person carried in the wind by the wing or kite. Fixtures on the opposed ends of the bar are connected to respective lines that are attached to the wing. A central line attached to the wing passes through a hole located in the bar and divides into two lines that are connected to the user. A grip slides along the central line and the grip is biased toward the bar. | 12-22-2011 |
20110254246 | BICYCLE SEAT HEIGHT AND ALIGNMENT DEVICE - A bicycle seat height and alignment device has a first collar for affixing on the top of a bicycle seat tube of a bicycle frame and a second collar for affixing on a bicycle seat post to which a bicycle seat is affixed. The collars each have a complementary circumferentially extending abutting face. The faces are abuttable in only one possible orientation so as to align a bicycle seat affixed to the seat post with the bicycle frame when the seat post is located on the seat tube such that the collars are contiguous. | 10-20-2011 |
20090255024 | WETSUIT, NECK OPENING FOR WETSUIT AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME - A wetsuit has a trunk portion having a pair of arm openings and a neck opening that fits about the torso of a wearer. The neck opening comprises an area of reduced thickness that is folded to form a soft flexible edge. The neck opening is made by forming a channel of reduced thickness in a piece of material to surround the neck opening in the wetsuit, and folding the material along a centerline of the channel to form the soft flexible edge. | 10-15-2009 |
