A mobile chair apparatus is described that comprises a drive assembly that preferably includes one or more moveable foot pedals, and drive wheels which rotate in response to rotation of the foot pedals by the mobile chair occupant, and a steering assembly which comprises two steering wheels and two armrests, wherein movement of just one armrest will translate into movement of both steering wheels, and wherein the drive assembly and the steering assembly concurrently enable the mobile chair occupant to propel and steer the mobile chair apparatus without assistance from another person.

The present invention discloses a moving mechanism including a support; a driving device mounted on the support; a controller arranged on the support; two sets of moving assemblies respectively mounted at two ends of the support; wherein each of the moving assemblies includes a track and two synchronous wheels of different diameters arranged inside the track, such that the moving mechanism could be functioned and run freely over stairs, rugged road surface and all-terrain ground under the action of the driving device and the controller. The present invention also discloses electric vehicles and toys equipping the moving mechanism. The moving mechanism of the present invention overcomes shortcomings of conventional moving mechanisms by making use of a breakthrough composite structure of a half-wheel-half-track configuration in combination with an additional omni-directional wheel, whereby the moving mechanism and the electric vehicles and toys equipping the same are adaptable to different road surfaces and stairs of various angles, and also very convenient and reliable to use.

A powered wheelchair is operated by sensor-based control pads that include force transducers to produce a variable output signal that is proportional to a varying force applied. The control pad provides an analog-type output that provides a variable speed signal to a controller to operate the wheelchair at a variable speed in both forward/reverse directions and in right or left turning directions.

A wheelchair is provided includes driving wheels, a pair of side frames, and an accommodation pocket. The frames rotatably support the driving wheels coupled to the exterior sides of the side frames. Each of side frames includes an elbow rest frame portion, a vertical frame portion, and a lower frame portion. The elbow rest frame portion has an elbow rest. The vertical frame portion is coupled to the rear end part of the elbow rest frame portion. The lower frame portion is arranged under the elbow rest frame portion. The vertical frame portion is coupled to the rear end part of the lower frame portion. The accommodation pocket is arranged above the front part of the driving wheel as viewed in side view, and is at least partially positioned on the exterior side relative to the elbow rest frame portion as viewed in front view.

The present invention is a smart electric wheelchair for the elderly, which comprises a battery for power supply and a control system for integrally controlling the electric wheelchair, and also comprises a body bracket, wherein the bottom of the body bracket is connected with a standing platform for a user to stand, a driving unit is provided on each side of the standing platform to drive the electric wheelchair; and a foldable seat is provided in the middle of the body bracket, and an armrest is provided on each side of the seat, with at least one of the armrests provided with a controller for controlling the entire electric wheelchair. The electric wheelchair is provided with a plurality of sensors which include a ranging and positioning sensor and/or an obstacle avoidance sensor, and further include an identification sensor, wherein the identification sensor identifiably corresponds to a one-to-one mobile identification device worn by a user, so that the electric wheelchair can automatically follow the user's position according to the collaboration between the mobile identification device and the sensor. The present invention solves the drawbacks of existing similar apparatuses and gives the elderly a better use experience, showing both practical and economical significance.

Embodiments herein are directed to systems and methods of a wheelchair that includes a frame and a pair of armrests. The pair of armrests includes an arm pad, a sleeve configured to store a plurality of telescoping segments, and a pivot portion positioned between the arm pad and the sleeve. The plurality of telescoping segments is configured to extend in a system vertical direction. The pair of armrests is releasably coupled to the frame at the sleeve via a release mechanism. The pair of armrests is pivotable between a first position and a second position wherein when in the first position the pair of armrests is in an armrest position and in the second position the pair of armrests is pivoted in the system vertical direction such that the pair of armrests is a pair of crutches independently operable from the wheelchair.

A mattress can be adapted to an integrated bed that includes a main bed unit, and a wheelchair unit that is separable from the main bed unit and has a wheelchair back bottom, a wheelchair hip bottom and a wheelchair foot bottom. The mattress includes a first protrusion configured to be fastened to a back-section hole in the wheelchair back bottom, a fastener configured to be fastened to the wheelchair hip bottom, and a second protrusion configured to be fastened to a foot-section hole in the wheelchair foot bottom.

An adjustable chair assembly comprising a frame, a seat assembly, a back assembly and at least one of a seat space-filling element and a back space-filling element. The seat assembly extends along a seat plane and comprises a first seat element and a second seat element adjustably positionable with respect to one another along the seat plane and together defining a support surface of the seat assembly. The back assembly extends along a back plane and comprises a first back element and a second back element adjustably positionable with respect to one another along the back plane and together defining a support surface of the back assembly. A central gap is defined in at least one of the support surfaces and the at least one of the seat space-filling element and the back space-filling element is removably insertable in the central gap of the corresponding support surface.

Disclosed is a nonmetallic wheelchair comprising a frame, left and right armrests, a footrest, left and right rear wheels, left and right front wheels, and, left and right handles The frame comprises main left and right panels, aback section, and a seat section. The back section is coupled to the main left and right panels, and to the seat section. The seat section is coupled to the main left and right panels. The left and right armrests are pivotally coupled to the main left and right panels, respectively. The footrest is pivotally coupled to the main left and right panels. The left rear and front wheels are coupled to the main left panel. The right rear and front wheels are coupled to the main right panel. The left and right handles are coupled to the frame. The nonmetallic wheelchair is completely made of transparent nonmetallic materials.

Embodiments described herein are directed to a wheelchair system that includes a wheelchair and an exoskeleton. The wheelchair includes a frame, a pair of armrests coupled to the frame, and a control unit. The pair of armrests movable between an attached position and a detached position. When in the attached position, each one of the pair of armrests are coupled to the frame and when in the detached position, each one of the pair of armrests is removed from the frame.
