A wheeled nursing and medical device includes a wheeled seat mechanism, a driving module, a bed mechanism and a linking mechanism. The wheeled seat mechanism includes an expandable base frame and front and rear wheel assemblies. The driving module is operable to drive expanding and retraction of the expandable base frame. The bed mechanism includes a main bed plate and a backrest plate pivotally connected with the main bed plate. The linking mechanism includes at least one inclined bracket pivotally connected with the expandable base frame and the backrest plate. The device is shiftable between a bed state and a wheelchair state to render traveling of the device in the wheelchair state convenient.

The invention relates to an autonomous domestic appliance (1) in the form of a floor cleaning robot or a lawn mower robot with a platform (3) which comprises means of locomotion (4), environmental sensors (5a, 5b, 5c) for detecting properties of the environment of the autonomous domestic appliance (1) and a control unit (6). The environmental sensors (5a, 5b, 5c) are connected to the control unit (6), and the control unit (6) is designed for autonomous movement of the domestic appliance (1) by actuating the means of locomotion (4) as a function of the detected environmental properties and for permanent travel in an area for carrying out its actual domestic activity. The autonomous domestic appliance (1) has a communication unit (7) for establishing a communication link with a remotely arranged service unit (2) and, in addition to its actual domestic activity, is designed to detect the need of help of a person as a function of the environmental properties.

Disclosed is a foot-operated private vehicle, the vehicle including a chassis that extends heightwise along a vertical axis, the vehicle also including a front set of wheels mounted at the front of this chassis, a rear set of wheels mounted at the rear of this chassis, and a unit for controlling the speed and direction of the vehicle, taking the form of a right-hand pedal and a left-hand pedal, the private vehicle being characterized in that at least one pedal, known as the steering pedal, is mounted in a rotatable manner with respect to the chassis about a pivot axis parallel to the vertical axis of the chassis of the vehicle, a rotation of this steering pedal about its pivot axis being used to control the direction of the vehicle.

A patient support apparatus that is adaptable to multiple modes of transport includes a variable length base and a drive system that includes two independently drivable wheels that are responsive to inputs from a user to steer the patient support apparatus.

A physically disabled patient support unit includes functional underwear, a silicone casing shell, tapered duct, ring, slide, inclined waste pump, waste storage, moving step, waste transfer station, safety belt with apparatus and multi-stage apparatus parts. The support unit provides for the transfer of urine and fecal waste of bedridden physically disabled patients to sewerage without touching. The support also has a very simple and practical use due to its various positions.

A medical chair includes a base, a seat, and a leg rest pivotally mounted relative to the seat and adapted to move between an extended position and a retracted position. The chair further includes a first actuator for tilting the seat with respect to the base, a second actuator for lifting the seat with respect to the base, and a leg rest actuator adapted to move the leg rest. The chair also includes a controller adapted to control the first and second actuators to move the seat between a first position and a second position such that the seat is both lifted and tilted at the same time as the seat moves from the first position to the second position, and wherein the controller is adapted to control the leg rest actuator such that the leg rest maintains a substantially constant orientation with respect to the floor.

The invention relates to an insert for connecting an electrical connector to a wall (9) and to a corresponding method. The insert comprises an electrically conductive bolt (1) having a head (3), which extends along a first longitudinal axis (I), and a shaft (4), which is provided with at least one connecting means (5), and a ring (2), which has a through-opening (7) and extends along a second longitudinal axis (II). The head (3) comprises an outer contour which, at least in regions, is produced by the rotation about the first longitudinal axis (I) of a first line (L1), which is curved with a first radius (R1) and spaced apart from the first longitudinal axis (1). The through-opening (7) comprises an inner contour which, at least in regions, is produced by the rotation about the second longitudinal axis (II) of a second line (L2), which is curved with a second radius (R2) and spaced apart from the second longitudinal axis (II).
