A manual movable body with wheels 10 which can be moved by manually rotating the wheels, comprising an upper body frame 12 supporting a heavy goods, a pair of travelling wheels 18, each of which is provided on the corresponding side of a lower body frame 14 which is not in contact with upper body frame 12, and is rotationally supported by a first horizontal rotation shaft 16 extending in the widthwise direction of the lower body frame 14, and a pair of abutting rollers, each of which is mounted on upper body frame 12, and is rotationally supported by a second horizontal rotation shaft extending in the widthwise direction of the upper body frame 12.

A trolley for medical equipment includes a base mounted on a plurality of wheels. A brake device including at least one deformable brake pad is located beneath the trolley base. A release mechanism is provided to move the brake pad between a raised position in which it is spaced above a floor surface on which the trolley wheels rest, and a lowered position in which the brake pad is pressed against the floor surface under the weight of the brake device to a exert a braking force on the trolley.

A handbrake structure includes a fixing base, a linking member and a brake handle. The fixing base is located on a handle of a moving apparatus. The linking member is located on the fixing base, wherein a first portion of the linking member is connected to a first brake wire, and a second portion of the linking member has a first limit part. The brake handle is located on the linking member, wherein a first portion of the brake handle is connected to a second brake wire. When the brake handle is rotated in a first direction, the brake handle pushes the first limit part to rotate the linking member, and the linking member pulls the first brake wire. When the brake handle is rotated in a second direction different from the first direction, the brake handle pulls the second brake wire.

A system for monitoring and controlling shopping cart usage comprises a wheel assembly that attaches to a shopping cart. In some embodiments the wheel assembly includes a wheel, a brake that can be activated to inhibit rotation of the wheel, a controller that controls the brake, a VLF receiver, and an RF transceiver. The RF transceiver may, for example, operate in a 2.4 GHz frequency band. In some implementations, the RF transceiver may be used to detect entry of the shopping cart into a checkout area of the store, and the VLF receiver may be used to detect that the shopping cart is exiting the store. The controller may activate the brake if the shopping cart attempts to exit the store without first passing through a checkout area.

A pallet and a transport device for the pallet. The pallet, includes a frame having side parts and a rod that extends between the side parts. A span of the rod is at least half of the length of the rod. The pallet includes foot arrangements having parts configured to guide the pallet onto a bed of the transport device. The transport device includes the bed, a chassis and articulations enabling rotation of the bed relative to the chassis. The bed includes side beams that are configured to engage with the parts of the foot arrangements thereby guiding the pallet onto the bed. A system includes the pallet and the transport device.

A child transport carrier includes a handle bar and a rotatable brake actuator disposed around the handle bar. The rotatable brake actuator includes a first portion having a first radius of curvature and a second portion having a second radius of curvature. The first radius of curvature is less than the second radius of curvature. Rotating the rotatable brake actuator around the handle bar activates a first wheel brake.

A walking aid that assists a user in walking in an upright position. The walking aid may include a rear lower frame structure, a front lower frame structure, a first front wheel coupled to a first front lower frame member, a second front wheel coupled to a second front lower frame member, a first rear wheel coupled to the first rear lower frame member, a second rear wheel coupled to the second rear lower frame member, an upper frame structure comprising a first upper frame member, a second upper frame member, a first forearm support, and a second forearm support, a first pivot and latch mechanism pivotally coupling the first upper frame member and the first rear lower frame member together, and a second pivot and latch mechanism pivotally coupling the second upper frame member and the second rear lower frame member together.

A weight-bearing device includes a single wheel, a frame attached to the wheel, and an electric motor attached to the frame. The electric motor is configured to rotate a first gear, connected to a second gear with a chain. The second gear is connected to the wheel. The second gear and the first gear may have a gear ratio of greater than 8:1.

A wrap around walking aid is configured to assist a human user in walking. The wrap around walking aid includes a first rear lower frame and a first front lower frame mechanically coupled to a first upper frame. A back rest is connected to the first rear lower frame. A second rear lower frame and a second front lower frame are mechanically coupled to a second upper frame. The second rear lower frame is further mechanically coupled to the back rest. At least one first fixed front wheel is mechanically coupled to both front lower frames. At least one first castor rear wheel is mechanically coupled to both rear lower frames. The wheels enable a turn radius while the human user is walking forward.

A child transport carrier includes a handle bar and a rotatable brake actuator disposed along a lengthwise axis of the handle bar. A first cable having a first end and a second end is coupled to the rotatable brake actuator. A first wheel brake of a first wheel is coupled to the first end of the first cable. Rotating the rotatable brake actuator around the lengthwise axis of the handle bar activates the first wheel brake.
