Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing portable or fixed solar array support systems. Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus that holds two multi-cell rooftop-grade solar panels and folds up into a relatively small portable device that easily fits in a garage or shed. When open, the panels are displayed at near the nominal angle to the sun for the region. Adjustable angle supports are available in alternative embodiments.

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for providing portable or fixed solar array support systems. Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus that holds four 60-cell rooftop-grade solar panels and folds up into a relatively small portable device that easily fits in a garage or shed. When open, the panels are displayed at near the nominal angle to the sun for the region. Adjustable angle supports are available in alternative embodiments.

Disclosed are hinges having specially-cut sections of steel angle iron that force a solid stop point in the open or closed positions. In some embodiments, the stops may limit the hinges to open no more than 90 degrees. In other embodiments the stops may limit the hinges to open no more than 180 degrees. The hinges provide stability to any structure they are used with.

A dolly includes a first skate, a second skate, and a rod connected to the skates. The first skate is connected to a plurality of wheels and has a receiving region. The second skate is connected to a plurality of wheels and has a receiving region. The second skate includes an outer lateral surface having an aperture. The rod is connected to the first skate and the second skate via the respective receiving regions of the respective skates. The rod is configured to extend through the aperture such that a portion of the rod extends outwardly from the outer lateral surface of the second skate.

The present invention discloses a folding cart, which comprises a left frame, a right frame, plurality of platforms, a left connecting rod, a right connecting rod, a guide rod, a sliding sleeve, a pressing member, a moving block and an elastic member. The sliding sleeve, disposed on the guide rod and slidable up and down relative to the guide rod, has a limiting hole opposite to the second opening of the guide rod. The pressing member has a first slope. The moving block has a second slope and a limiting protrusion. By the slope sliding between the pressing member and the moving block and the sliding of the sliding sleeve along the guide rod, the sliding is smooth, with low friction. Therefore, not too much force is required and the operation is thus easier.

An assistive pushcart device for rollerblading includes a set of first wheels and a set of second wheels that are rotationally coupled to a frame proximate to a front and a back of the frame, respectively. A handle that is coupled to and extends transversely from the back of the frame is configured to be grasped in one or two hands of a user to stabilize the user as the user locomotes the frame along a surface. Each of set of brakes is operationally coupled to a respective one of the first wheels and the second wheels. The set of brakes is positioned to selectively slow and stop rotation of at least one of the first wheels and the second wheels. An actuator that is coupled to the handle and operationally coupled to the set of brakes is positioned to selectively actuate the set of brakes.

A foldable wagon has a frame that is collapsible in a manner such that the wagon basically has the same vertical height when in the collapsed and expanded configurations. The frame has folding bar assemblies on its sides. As the wagon is altered from the expanded to the collapsed configurations, the lower leg outer end of each of the pair of folding bar assemblies slides downward relative to the corresponding upper leg outer on the respective vertically oriented pole. The pairs of folding bar assemblies increase in height and decrease in length. As wagon is altered from the collapsed to the expanded configuration, the lower leg outer end of each of the pair of folding bar assembly slides upward relative to the corresponding upper leg outer end s on the respective vertically oriented pole, and the pairs of folding bar assemblies decrease in height and increase in length.

A utility cart includes a flooring apparatus and a pair of wheels. The flooring apparatus includes first and second bracket assemblies and first and second panel members. The first and second panel members are movable relative to the first and second bracket assemblies between an unfolded position in which the first and second panel members extend horizontally and a folded position in which the first and second panel members extend vertically. One wheel of the pair of wheels is attached to the first bracket assembly and another wheel of the pair of wheels is attached to the second bracket assembly. The flooring apparatus is disposed between the pair of wheels when the first and second panel members are in the unfolded position and the folded position.

A folding cart includes a frame body. The frame body includes a chassis, lower hinge seats, a front folding mechanism, a rear folding mechanism, and side-folding mechanisms. The chassis comprises two X-shaped crossed hinge structures, inner ends of left and right sides of the two X-shaped crossed hinge structures are hinged together with a first connector. A middle part of the side-folding mechanism has a second connector. Outer ends of the X-shaped crossed hinge structures are universally hinged with the corresponding lower hinge seats. Each of the X-shaped crossed hinge structure comprises a first bottom rod, a bottom rod connecting seat hinged with a middle part of the first bottom rod, and two second bottom rods respectively hinged with both ends of the bottom rod connecting seat.

A foldable push chair carriage includes an upper frame to support a child, a lower frame to support the upper frame, where the upper frame is pivotable with respect to the lower frame. The lower frame includes two side panels connected to each other by one or more connecting rods, where each side panel includes a front side panel part and a back side panel part, where the front side panel part and the back side panel part are pivotable with respect to each other between an unfolded position in which the front side panel part and the back side panel part extend at an angle of 160-180 degrees with respect to each other and a folded position in which the front side panel part and the back side panel part extend at an angle of 0-40 degrees with respect to each other.
