A reusable handling device is specially designed for transporting components of a checkout station to a location within the store where the checkout station is installed. The handling device includes casters and is designed to removably mount to a checkout station component (e.g., bagger) having adjustable feet when there is a need to move or transport the checkout station component (e.g., during installation). Generally, the handling device is configured to extend between and engage two of the adjustable feet of the checkout station component. Two or more handling devices can be mounted to the checkout station component to move the checkout station component during installation and can be removed when finished. After the installation is complete, the handling devices can be returned to the manufacturer or supplier of the checkout station component for use in another installation.

An accessory connector includes a disk having an upper end and a lower end, a front side and a back side. A hook is positioned at the upper end of the back side of the disk, and a foot is positioned at the lower end of the back side of the disk, and extending laterally away from the disk. An accessory is positioned on the front side of the disk, so that the accessory can be attached to a cart by attaching the accessory connector to the cart

A robotic surgery cart has a pair of rear wheel assemblies and a pair of front wheel assemblies. A brake assembly for the robotic surgery cart includes a gearbox interposed between and connected to the pair of rear wheel assemblies by rotatable shafts. Elongate actuators extend between and interconnect the rotatable shafts and brake mechanisms for the front wheel assemblies. A pedal lever is rotatably coupled to the gearbox and can rotate clockwise by pressing one portion of the pedal lever and can rotate counterclockwise by pressing another portion of the pedal lever. Rotation of the pedal lever causes the gearbox to rotate the rotatable shafts to substantially lock the pair of rear wheel assemblies, and substantially simultaneously causes a translation of the elongate actuators to actuate the brake mechanisms of the front wheel assemblies, such that the wheels of the front and rear wheel assemblies brake substantially simultaneously.

A medical platform is disclosed that can fulfill numerous functional and practical needs of patients and caregivers in a single, simple assembly. The medical platform disclosed herein can replace many of the different medical apparatuses used in a healthcare facility. The combination of features as disclosed herein can permit the medical platform to facilitate patient mobility by combining multiple commonly-used and/or required apparatuses into a single, mobile platform.

A cart for medical equipment includes a base having one or more wheels, a column supported by the base, and a platform supported on the column and opposite the base. The platform is configured to mount a piece of medical equipment to the cart. The cart also includes an adapter plate securable to the piece of medical equipment and configured to releasably couple to the platform. The adapter plate includes a locking assembly having one or more handles that upon actuation releases the adapter plate from the platform.

A medical apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a medical device; and a plurality of caster units, disposed below the medical device, for supporting the medical device to be movable, wherein each of the plurality of caster units includes: a wheel part; and a shock absorbing member which is configured to support the wheel part and to absorb the shock applied to the wheel part, wherein the shock absorbing member includes: a wheel fixing member for fixing the wheel part; a body fixing member which surrounds the wheel fixing member and is fixed to the medical device; and a cushioning member which is disposed between the wheel fixing member and the body fixing member and is capable of elastic deformation, wherein the shock absorbing member includes: a first deforming part extending in the vertical direction; and a second deformation part extending, from an end of the first deformation part, in a direction different from the extending direction of the first deformation part.

A wheeled stepladder platform apparatus for easily moving a stepladder includes a base frame having a left side, a right side, a back side, and a front side forming a rectangle and a crossmember extending from the back side to the front side in parallel opposition to the left side. Each of the left side, the right side, the back side, the front side, and the crossmember is L-shaped and has a vertical portion and a horizontal portion. The base frame is configured to support a stepladder on the horizontal portion. The base frame comprises a back left section, a front left section, a back right section, a front right section, and a plurality of joiner sections joined with a plurality of hardware through a plurality of mounting apertures. A plurality of wheels is coupled to the base frame.
