Reel devices, systems, and related methods are disclosed. The reel devices are modular and include an automatic shift assembly that shifts to provide a mechanical advantage when used to tighten a cord. For instance, the reel devices are configured to provide a first drive ratio and automatically transition to a second drive ratio in response to a torque force. The reel devices include a drive assembly and a shift assembly. The drive assembly includes a cycloidal gear.

Cuff for surf leash

Shift reel

Cuff assemblies for sports board leashes, where the cuff assembly includes a central section that having a precurved molded insert that is configured to connect to a cord of the sports board leash, a first wing attached to a first side of the central section, and a second wing attached to a second side of the central section. The maximum width of the central section of the cuff assembly is greater than the maximum width of either of the first wing or second wing, and the first wing and second wing are configured to overlap and fasten to each other in order to secure the cuff assembly around a person's limb portion.

A pillow includes a first lobe, a second lobe, and a third lobe extending outwardly from a central node and containing cushioning filling. A closure mechanism extends around perimeter of the first and second lobe. The third lobe is covered by the first and second lobe in a stowed position and not covered in a sleeping position. Portions of the first and second lobe exposed in the stowed position are covered by durable fabric. A Y-shaped inner pillow case may contain the filling and be positioned within the lobes. The filling may include an air bladder with a valve exposed in the stowed position.

Self-stowing pillow

An apparatus for fixing a wearable structure and/or a user-feedback element to a user is provided. The apparatus includes a wearable structure configured to be worn by a user, and a grounding assembly, coupled to the wearable structure. The grounding assembly includes: (i) an inflatable bladder, coupled to a first portion of the wearable structure, and (ii) a cord, coupled to a second portion of the wearable structure and the inflatable bladder. The inflatable bladder is configured to receive a fluid from a source. The cord is configured to tighten around a portion of the user's body according to and in proportion with the fluid pressure inside the inflatable bladder.

Passive and active grounding techniques for haptic devices

A wearable device for providing haptic stimulations is provided. The wearable device includes: (i) a wearable structure to be worn on a portion of a user's body and (ii) an inflatable bladder, coupled to the wearable structure, that includes two or more pockets positioned at a target location on the wearable structure. Furthermore, the two or more pockets are configured to, when inflated, impart directional force(s) onto the user at the target location that impede movement of the portion of the user's body. Additionally, the directional force(s) are caused by the two or more pockets interfering with each other, when inflated. In some embodiments, (a) the portion of the user's body is a hand of the user, (b) the target location is a finger joint on the user's hand, and (c) the directional force(s) imparted onto the user at the target location impede flexion of the user's finger.

Wearable devices with interfering bladders for creating haptic feedback

An apparatus for creating haptic stimulations is provided. The apparatus includes one or more pods coupled to a garment, each pod including: (i) an internal structure, and (ii) an airtight bladder surrounding the internal structure, where the bladder is pneumatically coupled to a pneumatic device that is configured to control a pressurized state of the bladder. Each pod is configured to: (i) have a first degree of flexibility when the bladder of the pod is in a first pressurized state; and (ii) have a second degree of flexibility, less than the first degree of flexibility, when the bladder of the pod is in a second pressurized state different from the first pressurized state. Each pod provides a haptic stimulation to a wearer of the garment when the corresponding bladder is in the second pressurized state.

Pneumatically controlled haptic mechanisms for haptic feedback

A dual-wrap child carrying system is configured to be worn by a person for carrying a child. The system includes a dual-wrap garment and a child support configured to releasably attach to the dual-wrap garment. The dual-wrap garment includes a primary wrap, a number of stays positioned in a back segment of the primary wrap for flexible support, and a secondary wrap. The primary wrap is configured to encircle the person and secure at a front side of the person. The secondary wrap includes a stretchable textile having a higher elasticity than a material of the primary wrap and is configured to encircle the person over the primary wrap and secure at the front side of the person.

A garment with an integrated carry system has a front panel, a rear panel, a first arm opening, a second arm opening, a first leg opening, a second leg opening, a first shoulder strap, and a second shoulder strap. The first shoulder strap comprises a first end coupled proximate the first arm opening and a second end coupled to the front panel proximate the first leg opening, where the first shoulder strap is removably received in a first compartment formed in the front panel intermediate the first arm opening and the first leg opening. The second shoulder strap has a first end coupled proximate the second arm opening and a second end coupled to the front panel proximate the second leg opening, where the second shoulder strap is removably received in a second compartment formed in the front panel intermediate the second arm opening and the second leg opening.
