MOBILITY AND MOBILITY SYSTEM
Provided are a mobility and a mobility system which enable a person who requires nursing care with a deteriorated bodily function or cognitive function to lead a life with greater independence. The drive and travel of the mobility by the travel drive unit are controlled by adjusting the current travel state of the mobility to an optimal travel state for ensuring safety while reflecting the user's intention based on the current operation instruction detected by the operation unit, the command signal generated by the voluntary control unit, the travel environment sensed by the environment sensing unit, and the respective types of environmental information acquired by the information acquisition unit.
MOBILITY DEVICE CONTROL SYSTEM
A mobility device that can accommodate speed sensitive steering, adaptive speed control, a wide weight range of users, an abrupt change in weight, traction control, active stabilization that can affect the acceleration range of the mobility device and minimize back falls, and enhanced redundancy that can affect the reliability and safety of the mobility device.

Three or Four Wheeled Human Powered Vehicle with Dual Wheel Front Steering and Single or Dual Wheel Rear Drive
A novel dual wheel front steering, single or dual wheel rear drive, three or four wheeled human powered vehicle which is extremely stable to operate. The invention is configured with a novel strong lightweight frame assembly incorporating a novel steering system and a pedal, crank and chain transfer drive system. The invention is configured in which the driver is seated in an upright position for maximum ergonomic efficiency and minimum propulsion effort. Said position also provides for easy mounting and dismounting on to and off of the vehicle. The invention is further configured with a novel steering system that is completely adjustable and incorporates Ackermann steering geometry to reduce wheel turning scrub and preserve forward momentum. The invention is further configured with components that are easily fitted with various manual drive systems, multiple gear ratio drive mechanisms, or power drive system such as an electric motor or similar device. The invention is more easily operated by children, elderly, and the handicapped than bicycles, traditional tricycles, and other three-wheeled human powered vehicles and is easily adapted for use by the handicapped.
Frame mechanism for a vehicle with at least three wheels
A frame mechanism for a vehicle with at least three wheels includes wheel frame assemblies to support a vehicle frame assembly. By a shock absorbing assembly, a swing arm, two synchronizing levers and two linking shafts, when any kind of loading carried and external forces are applied to the vehicle, the wheels can constantly remain on the ground surface with the same traction so as to minimize the risk of yaw, drift and unbalance upon a turn or braking of the vehicle. Also, a variety of uneven movements of the wheels can be balanced and converted into a movement of the vehicle frame assembly in an up-and-down direction. In case of the wheels running off the ground, the wheels can be kept in a proper position for retouching down with safety and comfort.
Pedal Powered Vehicle
A wheeled vehicle incorporating a frame; a drive shaft mounted upon the frame, the drive shaft having rotary power input and output ends; a drive wheel mounted upon the frame; a rotary power output linkage operatively interconnecting the drive shaft's output end and the drive wheel; rotary power pedals mounted upon the frame; a rotary power input linkage operatively interconnecting the drive shaft's input end and the rotary power pedals; a spiral spring having a rotary power input end and a rotary power output end, the spiral spring being mounted over the drive shaft; a clutch and one way bearing combination for anchoring the spiral spring's rotary power input end upon the drive shaft and upon the frame; and a one way bearing and brake combination for alternatively anchoring the spiral spring's rotary power output end upon the drive shaft and upon the frame.
STRUCTURE OF ROCKING LOCK OPERATION PART OF SADDLE RIDING TYPE VEHICLE
A structure of rocking lock operation part for a saddle riding vehicle, the structure of rocking lock operation part includes a rocking lock mechanism configured to lock lateral rocking of a vehicle body and a lock operator configured to switch between locking and unlocking of the rocking lock mechanism, wherein the rocking lock mechanism and the lock operator are disposed on the vehicle body, and, when seen in a side view, a gripping section of the lock operator is disposed in front of a position overlapping a pivot support member configured to pivotably support the steering handle in the vehicle body and disposed in rear of a headlight disposed in front of the pivot support member.
