TRANSPORT AID
The present disclosure illustrates a transport aid which can be quickly assembled, disassembled, and adjusted in width, and includes two support members, a chair seat and two horizontal assembly frames, wherein the horizontal assembly frames are disposed on left and right sides of the chair seat, respectively, and each includes a first quick connector assembled to a corresponding second quick connector of the chair seat, and ends of the two horizontal assembly frames are pivotally connected to corresponding support members, respectively, and other ends of the two horizontal assembly frames are assembled to each other through a quick packing connector for forming a horizontal bottom support member. As a result, the transport aid can be quickly disassembled into members for easy carry; furthermore, these members can be quickly assembled to a transport aid as a wheelchair, so that any person with disability can sit thereon and easily and comfortably be transported.
Wheelchair braking device
An embodiment provides a wheelchair braking device, the wheelchair braking device including: at least two brake mechanisms, wherein, when the wheelchair braking device is engaged in a brake position on a wheelchair, at least one brake mechanism engages with a first of a plurality of wheels on the wheelchair and at least a second brake mechanism engages with a second of the plurality of wheels on the wheelchair; a connection component extending between the at least two brake mechanisms; and a brake handle connected to the connection component and causing movement of the at least two brake mechanisms simultaneously with respect to the plurality of wheels. Other aspects are described and claimed.
Braking device for vehicles such as, for example, walking frames, strollers or disabled wheelchairs
A braking device for a vehicle such as, for example, a walking frame, a stroller or a disabled wheelchair, includes: a hand grip extending along an extension axis X-X adapted to be rotatably mounted on a handlebar of a vehicle; a slide operatively connected to the cable of a vehicle brake; the slide being translatable between a locked position tensioning the cable of a brake and an unlocked position leaving loose the cable of a brake, and vice versa; and at least one pin element integral with the hand grip and engaged with a profile of the slide; the pin element sliding with respect to the profile between a first position, in which the slide is in the unlocked position, and a second position, in which the slide is in the locked position, and vice versa.
SUB-MOBILITY DEVICE CHARGING SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE
A sub-mobility device charging system for a vehicle is capable of moving while carrying a sub-mobility device in which a passenger sits. The system includes an acquisition unit, a main electric power supply unit and a controller. The acquisition unit acquires a destination or traveling schedule inputted to the sub-mobility device; the main electric power supply unit supplies electric power to the sub-mobility device carried in the vehicle; and the controller controls to supply electric power to the sub-mobility device via the main electric power supply unit. The controller charges the sub-mobility device on a basis of the acquired traveling schedule for the sub-mobility device in the destination, and generates a traveling route to guide the charged sub-mobility device to a stop-off points corresponding to the destination.
WHEELCHAIR FRAME STRUCTURE AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING WHEELCHAIR
A front wheel and a rear wheel are to be provided at a grounding frame. A body frame is mounted on the grounding frame and includes a mount at which a seat is to be provided. A relative position between the grounding frame and the body frame in a height direction of a wheelchair is changed via a height adjustment mechanism. The height adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment pole, a pole reception, and a holding portion. The adjustment pole extends along the height direction and is mounted on one of the body frame and the grounding frame. The pole reception is mounted on another of the body frame and the grounding frame and is engaged with the adjustment pole slidably in the height direction. The holding portion is to hold not to relatively move the adjustment pole with respect to the pole reception.
Electric wheelchair
The present invention relates to an electric wheelchair incorporating a lifting mechanism which makes it possible to transfer a disabled or dependent person from the wheelchair itself to any desired surface, such as a bed, a toilet, a hospital bed, etc. and vice versa from said surface to the wheelchair, and armrests comprising an anchoring device for fixing a patient support sling.
Cable tension adjuster for height-adjustable wheeled vehicle
A cable tension adjuster for a manually operated, height-adjustable wheeled vehicle. The vehicle includes a brake assembly including a brake cable assembly and a brake cable housing shaped to enclose an excess portion of the brake cable assembly. The brake assembly includes a cable adjuster coupled to the brake cable assembly, where the cable adjuster is enclosed by the brake cable housing. The brake cable housing provides an access port to access the cable tension adjuster.
BRAKING DEVICE FOR VEHICLES SUCH AS, FOR EXAMPLE, WALKING FRAMES, STROLLERS OR DISABLED WHEELCHAIRS
A braking device for a vehicle such as, for example, a walking frame, a stroller or a disabled wheelchair, includes: a hand grip extending along an extension axis X-X adapted to be rotatably mounted on a handlebar of a vehicle; a slide operatively connected to the cable of a vehicle brake; the slide being translatable between a locked position tensioning the cable of a brake and an unlocked position leaving loose the cable of a brake, and vice versa; and at least one pin element integral with the hand grip and engaged with a profile of the slide; the pin element sliding with respect to the profile between a first position, in which the slide is in the unlocked position, and a second position, in which the slide is in the locked position, and vice versa.
SUSPENSION FOR WHEELED VEHICLES
A wheelchair suspension comprises a frame, at least one pivot arm, at least one front caster, at least one rear caster, a stabilizing system, and a sensor. The pivot arm is coupled to the frame. The front caster is coupled to the pivot arm. The rear caster is coupled to the frame. The stabilizing system is coupled to the frame and the pivot arm. The sensor is arranged such that tipping of the frame causes actuation of the stabilizing system to at least partially resist further movement of the frame.
Footplate structure of wheelchair
A footplate structure of a wheelchair is provided. The wheelchair includes a support frame unit, a rear wheel assembly mounted on the support frame unit, a front wheel assembly mounted to the support frame unit, a seat unit arranged at a central portion of the support frame unit, a footplate unit arranged at a front end of the support frame unit, and a footplate control unit operable to control the footplate unit. With the footplate control unit set beside the footplate unit, the footplate control unit may control a footplate of the footplate unit to be in an upright position or a horizontal position so as to improve operation performance of the wheelchair.
