20130220193 | WAKESURFING BOAT AND HULL FOR A WAKESURFING BOAT - A wakesurfing boat and a hull for a wakesurfing boat. The hull includes a bottom having a preselected length extending from a bow to a stern. The bottom includes a central ridge and port and starboard ridges extending below respective port and starboard bulwarks to define a substantially M-shaped bottom with concave portions to port and starboard of the central ridge. Port and starboard sponsoons extend below the port and starboard bulwarks proximate the stern. A trim wedge projects below the stern. Two rounded stern portions are provided proximate the stern. In a dynamic surfing mode, with selectively-fillable ballast tanks partially or fully flooded, water flowing through the port and starboard concave portions, combined with the ballast, increases resistance to the hull, resulting in a larger wake wave. Water passing around the structural features proximate the stern is directed toward a convergent zone in the wake, resulting in an improved wake wave shape. | 08-29-2013 |

20130037390 | OBLONG LAZY SUSAN - A track and carrier system has a plurality of carriers having an upper surface, a bottom surface, and at least one roller coupled to the bottom surface, wherein the upper surface of the plurality of carriers is shaped such that it has a wide end and a narrow end, the narrow end pointed substantially inwardly of the continuous groove and at least one roller is configured to travel within a continuous groove in a platform so that displacement of one carrier in the plurality of carriers displaces at least one additional carrier in the plurality of carriers about the continuous groove. | 02-14-2013 |
20140166446 | OBLONG LAZY SUSAN - A track system comprises a plurality of track components. Each of the plurality of track components has a cross-section comprising an upper section and a lower section, the upper section being wider than the lower section. At least one carrier has a plurality of rolling surfaces having a first and a second rolling surface, which engage opposing sides of at least one of the plurality of track components that correspond to the lower section of the cross-section of the at least one of the plurality of track components. | 06-19-2014 |
20150033993 | PERIMETER TRACK LAZY SUSAN - A track system comprises a plurality of track components. Each of the plurality of track components has a substantially coplanar and substantially continuous pair of tracks extending about an upper surface of a platform. At least one carrier has a plurality of rolling surfaces having a first and a second rolling surface coupled by a body to engage the continuous pair of tracks. A loading portion may be removeably coupled to the platform for loading carriers to the track. | 02-05-2015 |
