Stair-climbing wheeled carrier
The stair-climbing wheeled carrier has a U-shaped frame defined by a pair of elongated parallel handles and a crossbeam extending between the ends of the handles. Each handle has an axle mount depending therefrom having a star wheel or spider wheel mounted thereon. A dual shaft worm drive motor is mounted on the frame, the shafts driving chain drives connected to the wheels. A throttle extends from one of the handles, and controls leaf springs that operate switches for actuating the reversible motor and returning the throttle to neutral when released. A payload is attached to brackets mounted on the handles. The payload may be a seat for a person needing assistance attending/descending stairs, or a basket for carrying packages or other items upstairs. In use, an assistant uses the handles to support the frame while operating the motor to activate the wheels for climbing stairs.
SHOPPING CART WITH DROP DOWN FRONT GATE
A shopping cart (1) having a forward rotating front gate (2) to allow a user to unload contents of a shopping cart from the front without having to reach over sides of a shopping cart, thereby avoiding potential back injuries. Side bumpers (4) prevent the front gate from rotating inward and holding tabs (6) on top of the front gate fit securely into slots (7) on the shopping cart to hold the front gate in a closed position while shopping.
Cart robot with automatic following function
A basket assembly for receiving goods therein; a main body coupled to a bottom of the basket assembly to support the basket assembly; a handle assembly installed on one side of the main body; a wheel assembly rotatably coupled to a bottom of the main body to move the main body in a direction in which a force is applied to the handle assembly; and a battery installed inside the main body for supplying electrical energy to the wheel assembly.
Method of moving in power assist mode reflecting physical characteristics of user and robot implementing thereof
A robot can include a cart to receive one or more objects; a camera sensor to photograph a periphery of the robot and capture an image of a user of the robot; a handle assembly coupled to the cart; a moving part to move the robot; a force sensor to sense a force applied to the handle assembly; and a controller configured to generate physical characteristics information on physical characteristics of the user of the robot based on the image of the user, and adjust at least one of a moving direction of the robot, a moving speed of the moving part and a value of torque applied to a motor of the moving part, based on the physical characteristics information and a magnitude of the force applied to the handle assembly sensed by the force sensor.
CONTACTLESS POWER FEEDING DEVICE
A contactless power feeding device of an embodiment includes: a placement portion on which a plurality of carts including a device and a power receiving unit that receives power to be fed to the device is placed in a state of being arranged in one direction; a power transmitting unit that is provided at each of placement positions at which the cart is placed in the placement portion and transmits power to the power receiving unit by contactless power feeding; a lock unit that is provided at each of at least a first placement position at which a first cart in the one direction is placed and a second placement position at which a next cart is placed among the placement positions, and locks movement of the cart; and a control unit that controls an operation of the lock unit.

SNOWMOBILE ASSISTANT DEVICE
A wheeled device for increasing the mobility of a snowmobile or ski-bound vehicle, wherein the wheeled device, having a cylindrical axle, is attached to the bolt on the interior of a sled ski underneath the snowmobile sled, which raises the skis off the ground and does not increase the snowmobile sled width. The wheeled device surrounds the interior sled ski bolts and nuts thereon and is tightened onto said bolts and nuts by way of a tightening wheel. The snowmobile is thus able to drive on the wheeled devices so that it can conveniently move from one location to another without damaging the bottom of the skis if on rough or unstable terrain.
VEHICLE REPAIR BOARD
A vehicle repair board having a schematic representation of a vehicle is provided for schematically assisting vehicle part storage and organisation during repair procedures. The vehicle repair board has a plurality of fasteners for connecting tools, parts, and consumables to the board and a support structure for supporting the board in a vertical orientation.
Stackable rolling coolers with affixed main bin
This invention is directed to a kit of coolers that offers a number of improvements over the prior art. The coolers are modified to specifically accommodate frozen gel ice packs instead of ice cubes. Because there is no spill water, the coolers open with front-facing pull-out drawers. The coolers stack atop one another with interlocking parts. Easy transport is provided by a handle and wheels, which are attached to the bottom (main) bin. Internally, the cooler bins are compartmentalized horizontally or vertically with dividers. Hollow spaces within the walls and dividers of the bins accommodate frozen gel ice packs. Overall, the coolers are easier to pack and unpack, stack, load into a car, and transport on the ground than conventional ice chest coolers.
Transporting apparatus with shock absorbing elements
The present disclosure provides a transporting apparatus. The transporting apparatus can include the following components: a first frame support configured to support an object; a second frame support configured to roll the transporting apparatus and to move relative to the first frame support; and a plurality of shock absorbing elements positioned between the first frame support and the second frame support.
