A driving device for use in a hub assembly includes a stationary ring, a connecting seat and a pawl unit, all of which surround an axis. The stationary ring has a plurality of angularly spaced-apart ratchet grooves that are symmetric. The connecting seat has a sprocket and at least one connecting portion, both of which are arranged along the axis. The pawl unit includes a ring-shaped coupling seat that is removably sleeved on the connecting seat and that has at least one coupling portion engaging removably the at least one connecting portion, and a plurality of angularly spaced-apart retaining grooves, each retaining a pawl and a resilient member for engaging a corresponding one of the ratchet grooves of the stationary ring.

A baby walker comprises sensors and control mechanisms to detect dangerous situations and to stop or substantially slow the baby walker. The baby walker uses proximity sensors, position sensors, presence sensors, and/or communication modules in order to assess the environment for the safety of the child. It also includes a controller that can apply a brake to the wheel assembly to stop or substantially slow the baby walker so as to protect the baby from entering dangerous regions or come in close proximity to objects. The baby walker may further receive and/or transmit information from an external device which may be operated by the child's guardian to define the borders of dangerous regions or a predefined travel distance.

A patient transport apparatus transports a patient over a floor surface. The patient transport apparatus comprises a support structure and support wheels coupled to the support structure. An auxiliary wheel is coupled to the support frame to influence motion of the patient transport apparatus over a floor surface. The auxiliary wheel is movable to a deployed position with the auxiliary wheel engaging the floor surface and a stowed position with the auxiliary wheel spaced a distance from the floor surface. An actuator assembly including a lift actuator a biasing device, and a biasing load adjustment assembly. The lift actuator is operable to move the auxiliary wheel to the deployed position and to the stowed position. The biasing device configured to bias the auxiliary wheel towards the deployed position. The biasing load adjustment assembly configured to adjust a biasing force being applied by the biasing device to the auxiliary wheel.

A three-wheeled all-terrain vehicle or push chair utilizes an innovative front wheel mount, employing a side-mounted caster mechanism, for improving its pushability and steerability. Because of this approach, lifting is not required to steer the chair, and any size or type and width of wheel can be used. As a result, the invention provides a new class of all-terrain product for the disabled adult market and a rugged, truly off-road runner/jogger/hiker stroller for the young child market.

The present disclosure relates to a wheel connecting structure and a baby carrier. The wheel connecting structure includes a fixed base, a rotatable base, a rotating shaft and an anti-swing member. The rotatable base is rotatably connected to the fixed base by the rotating shaft. The anti-swing member has an abutting portion. The anti-swing member is arranged on one of the fixed base and the rotatable base, and the abutting portion abuts against the other of the fixed base and the rotatable base. The abutting portion is provided with a lubricating structure.

A connecting structure adapted for an infant carrier includes a connecting hole portion and a connecting component. The connecting hole portion is disposed on a frame body of the infant carrier. The connecting component includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is coupled onto a cloth cover of the infant carrier. The second connecting portion is connected to the first connecting portion and for connecting the connecting hole portion. Therefore, the connecting structure of the present invention can provide a convenient way to connect a cloth cover and a frame body of the infant carrier.

The stationary ring has a plurality of angularly spaced-apart ratchet grooves that are symmetric. The connecting seat has a sprocket and at least one connecting portion, both of which are arranged along the axis. The pawl unit includes a ring-shaped coupling seat that is removably sleeved on the connecting seat and that has at least one coupling portion engaging removably the at least one connecting portion, and a plurality of angularly spaced-apart retaining grooves, each retaining a pawl and a resilient member for engaging a corresponding one of the ratchet grooves of the stationary ring.

A wheel shock absorption structure and a child carrier having the wheel shock absorption structure, including a wheel shaft and a wheel seat connected with a frame, and a lower end of the wheel seat is rotatably connected with a wheel through the wheel shaft. Further including a shock absorber with an elastic structure, an upper end of the shock absorber is removably connected with an upper end of the wheel seat, and the shock absorber rotates synchronously along with the wheel seat; a lower end of the shock absorber is rotatably connected with the wheel shaft which is slidably connected with the lower end of the wheel seat. The shock absorber is driven by sliding of the wheel shaft to generate recoverable elastic deformation to provide damping and buffering. The bending deformation of the shock absorber ensures that the wheel shock absorption structure has a better shock absorbing effect.

A swiveling caster wheel system for use on rolling devices such as children's accessories, furniture or equipment, and including a locking system having a locking actuator that is fixed in position regardless of the swivel position of the caster wheel. The system allows a user to access and actuate the caster locking system from a consistent position of the rolling device regardless of the swivel position of the caster wheel, and allows the caster wheel to be covered without blocking access to the locking actuator.

A foot-controlled personal transportation device having a drive wheel and a foot platform, with the drive wheel preferably located below the platform. Device driving may be controlled by a position sensor and a control circuit that drives the device toward auto-balancing. Various components and embodiments are disclosed including, but not limited to, a single wheel structure having various configurations, one-foot and two-feet platform embodiments, various sensor and drive arrangements, and coaxial wheel driving using a hub motor or the like.
