20090174159 | Xtreme street sled - The Xtreme Street Sled is a downhill, steerable sled and is a modification of an earlier application (Application No. 11/067,228 filed Feb. 28, 2005 by David A Brush entitled “Street Sled”, copy attached). The components consist of a two-piece metal frame (steel or aluminum) and a fiberglass covering for each frame piece. The front piece has a steering joint attached to a pole that slides into another larger pole firmly attached to the rear frame. The rear frame is fitted for eight skate board wheels and the front frame is fitted for six skate board wheels. The frame is adjustable in length using the fitted pole. The sled is made for the rider to lie prone facing the direction of motion and has handles on the front portion that stick straight up and allow the rider to hold on to each with hands in the “thumbs-up” position and steer. | 07-09-2009 |
20100289231 | Ski add-on kit for fitting under the wheels of baby strollers - A ski add-on kit for fitting under the wheels of baby strollers generally comprises an elongated panel member including a front spatula portion and a rear spatula portion, wherein the spatula portions are formed at an angle to a main surface of the panel member, and an elongated guide slot; a pair of wheel support members adapted to receive and hold a wheel member, wherein the wheel support members are adapted to slide and be releasably held within the guide slot in order to be adapted to releasably hold the wheel member securely therebetween, such that the wheel member can then be supported upon the panel member and slide smoothly along slippery, granular, or other unstable surfaces. | 11-18-2010 |
