A modular desktop organizer and system including a rectangular base with a tall superstructure and shallow side trays. The superstructure includes a U-slot for holding an upright smartphone with an inductive charger, and a deep cup for holding pens, scissors, and accessories. The base includes a channel-shaped tablet holder at the back. The base is electrically powered and includes USB ports. The modular components have a self-centering bias by way of a bottom bulge with a rounded periphery that nests within the top of another modular component having a complementary rounded lip. The modular components can be stacked to two, three or more levels high in an aligned and neat fashion due to the self-centering bias.

Powered modular desktop organizer and system

A bracket, which can be in the form of first and second bracket members, desirably projects outwardly from the trailer frame and includes a bracket passageway. A housing includes a housing passageway extending at least partially through the housing and that communicates with the exterior of the housing through a locking insert receiving opening. The locking insert receiving opening, the housing passageway and the bracket passageways define a locking insert receiving passageway. A locking insert couples the housing to the bracket and thereby to the trailer frame. The locking insert includes an accessory arm receiving passageway communicating with the housing exterior through the locking insert receiving opening.

Bicycle trailer and mount for coupling an accessory support arm to the trailer

A bicycle seat recline adjusts the incline of a bicycle trailer seat back. The seat recline can comprise opposed gear racks engaged by gears at opposite ends of a cross member. The cross member is coupled to an upper portion of the seat back. Moving the cross member moves the gears in the gear racks and adjusts the angle of the seat back. The cross member is desirably selectively and simultaneously lockable to and releasable from any one of a plurality of positions along the gear rack. A lower portion of the seat back can pivot about a lower pivot axis. The gear racks can be arced to maintain a constant distance to the lower pivot axis as the cross member is moved and maintains a constant tension on the seat back. A plurality of seats with adjustable seat back reclines can be included in the bicycle trailer.

A bicycle trailer latch comprises a skewer engaging surface that is desirably at least in part spherical, such as hemispherical. When engaging a bicycle skewer at the rear wheel of a bicycle, the spherical engagement surface allows more freedom of movement of the bicycle trailer relative to the skewer during towing. This enhances the trailers ability to track the movement of the bicycle. The latch can comprise a housing with a housing opening sized to receive the end portion of the bicycle wheel skewer. A stop inside the housing is pivotal to stop closed and stop open positions. In the stop closed position, the housing opening is sufficiently to block the decoupling of the latch from bicycle skewer. In the stop open position, the stop opens the housing opening sufficiently to permit passage of the end portion of the skewer through the housing opening.

A bicycle trailer pivot assembly can comprise first and second yoke arms with respective first and second end portions and a pivot coupling the first end portion of each yoke arm to a bicycle trailer frame. The first end portions the yoke arms comprise respective first and second hinge portions that interfit and that receive a hinge pin that couples the first end portions together and to the bicycle trailer frame for pivoting about an upright axis. The first and second hinge portion comprise respective stops positioned to engage one another to limit the maximum distance to which the second end portions of the first and second yoke arms can be spread apart. The first and second hinge portions can comprise respective stops that limit both the maximum and minimum spread apart positions of the second end portions of the yoke arms.

Bicycle trailer pivot assembly

A bicycle skewer for supporting a wheel of a bicycle between bicycle forks on opposite sides of the supported bicycle wheel comprises a skewer body having first and second end portions and a longitudinal axis about which a supported bicycle wheel pivots. In accordance with an embodiment, a first coupler is coupled to the first end portion of the skewer body and a second coupler is coupled to the second end portion of the skewer body; the bicycle wheel and forks being positioned between the first and second couplers. In addition, each of the first and second couplers comprise exterior surfaces at least a portion of which are spherical.

Bicycle skewer with bicycle trailer couplers

A component system comprising a component and a first binding system coupled to the component and configured to be coupled to a first type of a binding mechanism. The system further includes a second binding system movably coupled to the component and configured to be coupled to a second type of binding mechanism that is different from the first type of binding mechanism.

Dual binding system

A bicycle trailer has a frame with a hitch portion that comprises first and second yoke arms with respective first end and second end portions. Skewer engagement latches can be coupled to the second end portions of the yoke arms. The skewer engagement latches can have stops that pivot between stop open and closed positions. In the stop open positions, respective end portions of a bicycle skewer can inserted into or separated from the latches. In the stop closed positions, respective end portions of the bicycle skewer, if positioned in respective latches, are retained coupled to the yoke arms by the latches. The stops are moved between open and closed positions by an actuator, such as by respective cable portions attached to the stop portions. Desirably the actuator simultaneously moves the stops between the open and closed positions. The latches can have skewer engagement surfaces that are least in part spherical.

Bicycle trailer

A storage device including a storage device body configured to store items therein, and a pocket. The pocket includes a piece of pocket material coupled to the body and at least partially defining a pocket cavity. The pocket further includes a first fastener configured to releasably attach the piece of pocket material to the body, and a second fastener configured to releasably attach the piece of pocket material to the body. The first fastener, when uncoupled, allows access to the pocket cavity via a first direction, and the second fastener, when uncoupled, allows access to the pocket cavity via a second direction that is different from the first direction.

Multi-access pocket

An office desktop organizer system including a rigid, tubular section with a triangular cross-section joinable with more sections in series via a connector joint in between sections and end caps covering the opposite ends of the tubular sections. The connector joints may be straight or have a bend. Add on office implements, such as a storage shelf, a drawer, a pencil box, a tape dispenser, a bin, a phone dock, a note pad stand, a USB port, or an AC outlet power center, each having an overarching arm, are connectable to the tubular section by engaging the overarching arm thereto. Eyelets in the end caps and connector joints allow the tubular section to be mounted to a wall using a screw, push pins, tape, etc. where the screw or pin head fits into the eyelet.

Rail or bar organizer system

A system including a panel having a panel opening and a coupling device coupled to the panel. The coupling device includes a coupling device opening and a flange positioned adjacent to the coupling device opening. The coupling device opening at least partially overlaps with the panel opening, and the flange is elastically deflectable to allow a binding mechanism to pass the flange and into or out of the coupling device opening.
