Powered patient support apparatuses—such as beds, cots, stretchers, or the like—include a plurality of user controls that allow a caregiver to control the steering and/or driving of one or more powered wheels from multiple different locations around the patient support apparatus (e.g. head end, foot end, and/or the sides). The control is carried out by force sensors that detect both an orientation of the applied forces and a magnitude of the applied forces. Translational and/or rotational movement is effectuated, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the forces, as well as the physical location of the applied force relative to a reference point on the support apparatus, such as the center. One or more object sensors may also be included in the support apparatus to assist in steering and/or navigating.

A vehicular mobile storage cart, for a car having a hitch (21, 22), the cart comprising: a hitch gripping mechanism (30), connectable to the car hitch (21, 22); a lifting mechanism (40), connectable to the hitch gripping mechanism (30); and a wheel cart (10), connectable to the lifting mechanism; wherein the lifting mechanism being adapted to diminish its dimensions in a folded state thereof to allow opening a back door of a vehicle thereof when being folded.

A handcart may include a prime mover, a first ground-contact part, a second ground-contact part, a clutch mechanism configured to switch between a transmission state and a non-transmission state, a differential mechanism configured to switch between a non-locking state and a locking state, a switching unit configured to switch a state of the clutch mechanism and a state of the differential mechanism; and an operation unit. The switching unit may be configured to: in response to a user’s first operation, switch the state of the clutch mechanism between the transmission state and the non-transmission state without switching the state of the differential mechanism, and in response to a user’s second operation, switch the state of the differential mechanism between the non-locking state and the locking state without switching the state of the clutch mechanism.

The tracked stroller frame device may allow a user to take a stroller with them when camping, hiking, or otherwise travelling over rough terrain. The device implements a continuous track system for providing additional tractive area and reducing or eliminating getting stuck on uneven surfaces, and may include a motorized mechanism for providing driving force. The tracked stroller device allows a user to take a baby or young child with them without carrying the baby or young child. The device may be collapsible for ease of storage and transporting and may incorporate a storage area to allow for transporting of other items. A braking system may also be implemented to slow down the device or keep it parked.

A motorized cart with a frame, the frame having a floor, a first elongated side wall, a second elongated side wall, a rear wall, and a front wall that is hingedly connected to the floor. The cart includes a winch that is situated on the rear wall of the cart. A winch belt with a hook on the end of it extends forward from the rear wall. The cart has two wheels that are longitudinally aligned with one another so that one wheel is directly in front of the other wheel, and the wheels are centered longitudinally within the floor of the cart. The cart also has an electric motor that is powered by a battery and is operable in both forward and reverse gear.

A mobile platform comprising: (a) one or more platforms to support one or more cartridges, (b) one or more compartments within the one or more platforms, (c) one or more vertical supports connected to the one or more platforms, (d) a plurality of wheels connected to a bottom of the one or more platforms, and (e) one or more recesses located in the one or more platforms to receive one or more support accessories, wherein the one or more compartments are shaped to receive the one or more cartridges so that the one or more cartridges are secured to the one or more platforms during movement.

In the specification and drawings an accessory cart is described and shown with a base, a housing element that is connected to the base and extends upward from the base, and a platform, which is connected to the housing element with the height of the platform being automatically adjustable.

A transport cart and a method using a transport cart transports objects or animal carcasses. The transport cart has a loading trough which has a region which is arranged on a side of the loading trough facing away from a handlebar and/or from at least one handle, wherein the region has at least one loading and/or unloading device, thus making loading and/or unloading possible such that the object which is to be transported or the transported object or the animal carcass which is to be transported or the transported animal carcass does not have to be touched by an operator.

A vehicle can include a base assembly, a rack assembly, and a processing system. The base assembly can include a platform, a plurality of wheels and a motor for driving at least one of the plurality of wheels. The rack assembly can include a storage shelf connected to the base assembly through a coupling, which includes a bearing assembly enabling the storage shelf to rotate with respect to the platform. The processing system can be configured to communicatively couple with the rack assembly and include one or more processors configured to: determine a location of a target good; cause the storage shelf to move based on the determined location.

An all-terrain, load carrying cart to transport items comprising: a housing; a set of all-terrain wheels mounted beneath the housing, where the set of all-terrain wheels allow transport over a variety of terrain; a motor fastened to the housing and coupled to the set of all-terrain wheels, where the motor is rechargeable; and a handle attached to an end of the housing on a telescopic post, where the handle includes a set of control functions to operate the motor and drive the set of all-terrain wheels. The housing includes a set of pockets to comprise the walls therefore providing additional storage for the cart.
