Appl. No.:

10/259201

Inventors:

Marcus Hays - Los Angeles CA, US
Mark Concha - Los Angeles CA, US
Ron Holder - Irvine CA, US
Greg Rhoads - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

ZVO, Inc.

International Classification:

B62K011/00

US Classification:

180/207000, 180/220000

Abstract:

A bicycle has an electric motor and attached single or multiple sprockets, gears, chains, belts, shafts and mounting brackets. Outer sprockets are independently turned by either the motor or the pedals, and these outer sprockets then turn an inner sprocket which drives the drive chain and turns the rear wheel. Either the motor or the pedals, or both, may propel the bicycle. The vehicle also includes a means for detecting gear shifting and thereupon reducing power to the motor for a short time interval.

Appl. No.:

10/326910

Inventors:

David Mirshafiee - Irvine CA, US
Ron Holder - Laguna Niguel CA, US
Matthew Davis - Orange CA, US

International Classification:

B60R009/00

US Classification:

224/315000, 224/321000

Abstract:

An apparatus for securing a crossbar to a rail of a rack system for a vehicle includes a housing having a first end including a first jaw and a second end including a track. A crossbar plate is slidable along the track such that a distance between the crossbar plate and the first jaw varies as the crossbar plate slides along the track. A hook is pivotally coupled to the housing and includes a second jaw disposed opposite the first jaw, thereby defining an aperture for receiving a rail therebetween. A lever is pivotally coupled to the housing, the lever securing the crossbar plate relative to the track in a closed position and releasing the crossbar plate to move freely along the track in an open position. In the closed position, the lever moves the second jaw towards the first jaw to secure the rail therebetween.

Appl. No.:

7/324690

Inventors:

Ron Holder - Laguna Niguel CA

International Classification:

B63B 124

US Classification:

114274

Abstract:

The improved watercraft comprises an underwater pod or pods, that support a pecentage of the displacement of the watercraft at rest. The percentage of displacement produced by the pods could vary widely based upon the purposes of the watercraft and its intended range of uses, i. e. , speed, water conditions, cargo, length, etc. The improved watercraft is also comprised of one or more hulls at the surface, which when at rest, displace most of the remainder of the watercraft's total weight. The rest of the watercraft's displacement, normally a small percentage, is comprised of hydrofoils, or wings, and these provide lift for the watercraft when under way. These hydrofoils or wings would normally be designed to be sufficient in area and dynamic lift to raise the surface hull clear of the water's effects, if that was desirable for the intended purpose.

International Classification:

G03B 2130

US Classification:

353119

Abstract:

A portable collapsible liquid crystal display apparatus which includes a base, and a relatively large viewing screen having a width corresponding substantially to the overall width of said base and which, together with a first planar member of the same size, are pivotally mounted on the base. When the apparatus is in its viewing mode, the screen is turned to an upright position on the base with the mirror in an inclined position extending downwardly behind the screen to reflect images over the entire rear surface of the screen. When the unit is in a collapsed mode, the screen is folded down over the base and the mirror is folded down on top of the screen with its reflective surface facing the screen and with its rear surface forming a protective cover for the screen. The linkage mechanism which couples the screen and mirror to the base includes relatively wide links which also serve to shield the rear surface of the screen from ambient light when the screen is in its upright viewing position. An appropriate optical system is mounted on the base, which includes a liquid crystal light valve, an appropriate light source, a fixed mirror, and a wide angle lens for projecting images from the light valve to the fixed mirror to be reflected through the first-named mirror to the rear surface of the screen.

International Classification:

B60R 900

US Classification:

224324

Abstract:

A ride-ready bike carrier system has a support arm and handle assembly attached to a rear wheel holder via an extension arm, such that the handle assembly can engage a bike frame and wheel axle combination to further secure and stabilize a bike upon the system. The support arm and handle assembly, as well as the rear wheel holder, can be positioned such that the system can secure and stabilize bikes having wheels of differing size. Furthermore, since the handle assembly engages a portion of the bicycle which, for the most part, is consistent in size and design from one manufacturer to another, design incompatibilities are minimized.
