    摘要: There is disclosed a watercraft paddle apparatus operable by a user's legs and feet. In an embodiment, the watercraft paddle apparatus comprises a pair of rails positioned side-by-side and mountable to a watercraft, each rail configured to slidably receive a pedal mechanism adapted to slide back and forth along each rail. Each pedal mechanism includes a downwardly extendable paddle adapted to engage a water surface on which the watercraft is floating during a backward stride and to lift from the water surface on a forward stride, whereby a user can operate the pedal mechanism in each rail using an alternating walking or skiing motion. In an embodiment, each pedal mechanism is supported laterally by a front axle with a pair of wheels on either end of the front axle engaging the parallel rails. In another embodiment, each pedal mechanism is attached.

    摘要: A watercraft includes left and right hull members that are held in spaced apart, parallel relation by a supporting frame structure. A pendulum propulsion assembly mounts to the frame structure, between the hull members, and includes left and right pendulum assemblies that are each movable in a forward and rear direction by the operator's arms and legs. Each pendulum assembly includes at least a forward pendulum member extending through an upper pivotal connection to a lower pivot element coupled to a horizontal pendulum plane. A paddle holder mounted below the pendulum plane supports an arrangement of spaced paddles. Operation of the left and right pendulum assemblies in the forward and reverse alternating action through a normal stride causes the paddles to propel the watercraft in a forward direction. Forward flexing of the paddles in the power stroke is limited by tethers connecting between the paddles and the paddle support.

    摘要: A jewelry display includes a ferromagnetic planar substrate having a front surface opposite a back surface. A bracket is configured to be attached to a wall, the bracket comprising at least one bracket magnet which is a permanent magnet. The back surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate is configured to removably attach to the bracket due to the magnetic force of the at least one bracket magnet. A plurality of jewelry fixtures are configured to be removably attached to the front surface of the ferromagnetic planar substrate. Each jewelry fixture includes at least one permanent fixture magnet and a jewelry holding structure. The at least one permanent fixture magnet of each jewelry fixture is magnetically attracted to the ferromagnetic planar substrate. The at least one bracket magnet may be at least 2, 5, 10 times or more as powerful as the at least one permanent fixture magnet.

    摘要: A watercraft having propulsion means extending below the water line comprising a pair of flexible fins each adapted to oscillate through an arcuate path in a generally transverse direction across the central longitudinal dimension of the watercraft. As input force is applied, the fins twist to form an angle of attack for providing forward thrust while moving in both directions along the arcurate path. Each of the fine have a generally squared off top and preferably an outer area of harder rubber than the inner area. Each of the fins can be adjusted at the trailing edge to provide adjustable tensioning of the trailing edge.

    摘要: A pedal propulsion device for use on a small watercraft, having a lightweight portable frame with integral foot-engagement cranks. A propeller and rudder assembly driven by the foot cranks automatically will adjust for obstacles within and below the water, while maintaining direct drive by utilizing a depth stabilizer assembly extending from the support frame.
