A tow bar apparatus for a motorized utility cart is provided. The apparatus allows a utility cart user to tow a shopping cart. The tow bar is adapted to attach to any shopping cart by way of a universal attachment member. The opposing end of the apparatus includes a pair of spaced of laterally spaced attachment arms which are joined to a transverse attachment bar having clamps adapted for connection to the shopping cart. The universal attachment member is removably attached and may be modified to accommodate a specific make and model of scooter. The apparatus is reconfigurable depending upon the physical layout of the utility cart. An articulating arm is connected between the attachment member and the attachment arms to allow for an articulating attachment to the shopping cart.

A cart for connecting or attaching to a wheelchair is provided to assist a wheelchair user to more easily collect and move items, such as groceries. In certain embodiments the cart is further defined as a shopping cart.

Provided are mobility assistance devices, particularly useful in medical settings where a patient ambulation is desired but the patient remains connected to one or many medical components. The system comprises a mast connected to a base, wherein the mast is angled with respect to the base and from which any number of medical components is supported. The device geometry and connections ensure the device is extremely stable and tip-resistant. Also provided are oxygen tank holders to reliably and conveniently hold oxygen tanks and power management systems that reliably provide electrical power without impacting device performance or mobility. The device is deployable to permit conversion between a compact storage configuration and a stable deployed configuration.

Embodiments herein are directed to a wheelchair system that includes a wheelchair. The wheelchair includes a coupling mechanism, a processing device, and a non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium in communication with the processing device. The non-transitory, processor-readable storage medium includes one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processing device to determine the location of an accessory, position the wheelchair with respect to the accessory, and couple the wheelchair to the accessory via the coupling mechanism. The positioning of the wheelchair is independent from a user physically controlling the positioning of the wheelchair with respect to the accessory.

A transporting apparatus comprising: a standing platform adapted for a user to stand on and wherein the platform has at least two wheels connected to it; a carrying means; a base with at least two drive wheels associated with it and wherein the base is connected to the standing platform; a drive motor which is in communication with the at least two drive wheels and with an accelerating means; and an accelerating means which is in communication with the drive motor; the apparatus is adapted such that when in use a user is able to load items into the carrying means and then stand on the platform and then engage the accelerating means which results in the apparatus moving forward.

Auxiliary handles for attachment to a shopping cart to serve as supports for persons with limited mobility or who tire easily while shopping. The handles are used in pairs, with each handle having a generally vertical or upwardly directed telescopically extendable upper tubular member extendable from a lower tubular member, rigidly attachable to a structural supporting member on the shopping cart. This upper tubular member is topped with a horizontal tube that extends over the back of the cart and also in an outwardly direction past the back of the cart so as to serve as an armrest or handrest for the user as the user walks along behind the cart, pushing the cart while shopping. The user can lean on the handles to ease his or her weight on his or her knees, legs, ankles, and back, to make use of the cart and shopping less tiresome.

A connector for releasably attaching two wheeled-carts, wherein one can be a stroller and the other can be a wheelchair. The connector comprises an elongated body that forms an arm that is configured to be foldable, detachable or combination of both foldable and detachable, a first clamp connected to one end of the arm via a joint member, a locking arrangement for enabling to lock the arm in an unfolded position, and a second clamp connected to the other end of the arm.

A cart for connecting or attaching to a wheelchair is provided to assist a wheelchair user to more easily collect and move items, such as groceries. In certain embodiments the cart is further defined as a shopping cart.

Devices described in this disclosure can interconnect a wheelchair with another wheeled apparatus. For example, this document describes interfacing devices that releasably receive the front wheels of a wheelchair and the rear wheels of another wheeled apparatus in such a way that a user of the wheelchair can conveniently maneuver the wheeled apparatus in conjunction with the operation of the wheelchair.
