Motorized wheel accessory for a stroller
The motorized wheel accessory for a stroller is an after-market device that is configured to interface with a stroller in order to mobilize the stroller without the need for an end user to actually push said stroller. The motorized wheel accessory includes a frame that is configured to attach onto a rear axle of a stroller. The frame includes a power member that is wired to a motor. The motor is in mechanical connection with a pair of wheels. The pair of wheels propel the stroller. The frame may be adjustable to accommodate differently-sized strollers.
BALANCE MAINTAINING DEVICE FOR TRANSPORT APPARATUS, AND TRANSPORT APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH SAID BALANCE MAINTAINING DEVICE
The present invention relates to a balance maintaining device for a transport apparatus. The balance maintaining device comprises a loading frame formed to be long in the lengthwise direction thereof and having two or more first and second supports, which are respectively formed at both sides of the lower portion of the loading frame, and a lower frame provided at the lower portion of the loading frame, and having both upper sides thereof linked and coupled to the first and second supports. The outside of the lower frame is coupled to a transport apparatus so as to maintain the loading frame in a horizontal state when the transport apparatus is shaken.
PUSH ON AXLE FOR STROLLER
A wheel locking axle assembly is provided to secure a wheel to a hub of a child conveyance device. An embodiment of the wheel locking assembly includes a hub including a retention feature and a wheel assembly. The wheel assembly includes a wheel, a sleeve coupled to the wheel, a spindle that is slidable within a channel of the sleeve, and at least one detent captured by the sleeve and the spindle. The spindle can be moved between a first longitudinal position with respect to the sleeve in which a portion of each detent extends radially outwardly through a respective through-hole in the sleeve to lockingly engage the retention feature of the hub and a second longitudinal position with respect to the sleeve in which each detent does not extend radially outwardly through the through-hole and disengages the retention feature of the hub.
EQUIPMENT RACK HAVING MOUNTING RAILS
An equipment rack, mounting rails for the equipment rack, and associated methods. The mounting rails are selectively movable on a frame of the equipment rack and can be clamped to secure the mounting rails to the frame. A clamp of the mounting rail can include a clamp arm having a clamped position and an unclamped position and a lever arm for moving the clamp arm between the clamped and unclamped positions.
Swivel caster with swivel limiter and slide mechanism
A swivel caster includes a swivel assembly having a swivel plate configured to be mounted to a vehicle and defining a swivel axis. A horn depends downwardly from the swivel assembly and a wheel is wheel coupled to the horn with a wheel axle. A slide mechanism couples the horn to the swivel assembly and enables the wheel to slide in a direction generally perpendicular to the swivel axis between first and second trailing positions. The slide mechanism swivels with the horn, the wheel, and the swivel plate about the swivel axis. A swivel limiter is operatively associated with the swivel assembly and limits a swiveling range of the wheel about the swivel axis so as to activate the slide mechanism to reposition the wheel from the first trailing position to the second trailing position when a direction of travel of the vehicle changes.
WHEEL MECHANISM AND CHILD CARRIER
The present disclosure relates to a wheel mechanism and a child carrier. The wheel mechanism includes a wheel quick-release mechanism and/or a wheel orientation mechanism. The wheel quick-release mechanism detachably installs the wheel seat onto the frame, and includes a connecting rod having an end connected with the frame and the other end provided with a snapping portion; a receiving hole arranged in the wheel seat for receiving the connecting rod; an inserting channel arranged in the wheel seat and communicated with the receiving hole; an operating member movably arranged in the inserting channel; and a spring. The wheel orientation mechanism orients a wheel seat with respect to a frame and includes an orientating portion on the frame; a receiving slot arranged in the wheel seat corresponding to the orientating portion; and an oriented-locking element interposed into the receiving slot and sliding between a released position and a locked position.
Wheel assembly
A wheel assembly includes: a wheel set unit including a wheel bracket and a wheel; and a brake unit including a brake element disposed between the wheel bracket and the wheel, a threaded member sleeved movably on the brake element, and a screw extending threadably through the threaded member, extending through the brake element so as to prevent movement of the threaded member on the brake element, and pushable downwardly such that the brake unit moves downwardly to press resiliently against the wheel, so as to arrest rotation of the wheel. Only a single tool is needed to be accessed to a lower end of the screw so as to adjust a distance between the brake unit and the wheel.
Modular fork assembly for a material-handling vehicle
A modular fork assembly for a pallet truck includes a discrete elongate body, a discrete load wheel module, and a discrete fork tip that may be detachably connected by the same or different types of interlocking mechanisms that are adapted to inhibit sheer forces. The load wheel module includes a frame and a load wheel assembly that includes a load wheel that is operatively connected to the frame.
CHILD CAR SEAT SYSTEM AND CHILD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
In some countries, it is a legal requirement for babies, infants and children under a certainage and/or height to be provided with a supplemental car seat when travelling in a vehicle.Furthermore, parents and guardians of children typically make use of a pram to transport a child. However, babies and infants grow quickly and may outgrow conventional car seats and prams within a year or two years. Therefore, a parent or guardian must typically provide several car seats and prams for their child. The present disclosure provides a child car seat system 100 including an infant carrier module 200 that may be releasably docked within a docking module 300 or a wheeled frame 400 to form a car seat and a pram respectively. The infant carrier module 200 may be arranged in an upright position or a lie flat position.
Convertible pallet with selectively actuated rolling feature
A convertible pallet assembly, and associated method of making the convertible pallet, includes a first, planar pallet surface, and a second, planar support surface spaced therefrom. First and second sidewalls extend in parallel relation between the pallet surface and the support surface from adjacent opposite sides thereof. The sidewalls include first and second wheels with respective rotational axes that extend perpendicular to the sidewalls. An actuation mechanism is associated with each sidewall. The actuation mechanism has (i) a first position that allows the first and second wheels on one side to move upwardly and downwardly relative to the sidewall in a non-load carrying condition, and (ii) a second position such that the first and second wheels on the one side project outwardly from the support surface in a load carrying condition whereby the assembly can be rolled on the wheels as a cart.
