A portable surgical robot includes a surgical device and a cart. The surgical device is coupled to the cart. The cart includes a chassis, a mount coupled to the chassis, a carriage pivotally coupled to the mount, and a set of wheels. The carriage includes a first bracket positioned at a first lateral end of the carriage and a second bracket positioned at a second lateral end of the carriage. A first wheel of the set of wheels is coupled to the first bracket and a second wheel of the set of wheels is coupled to the second bracket. The carriage is configured to pivot relative to the mount to prevent at least one of (i) rocking of the portable surgical robot, (ii) fluttering of the first wheel, (iii) fluttering of the second wheel, and (iv) tipping of the portable surgical robot.

A utility handcart for transporting equipment, materials, goods, supplies, animals, and people during or after a natural or man made disaster. The handcart includes a solid body and integrated body/frame design increasing durability to withstand constant use over long distances on rough terrain. An ergonomic placement of side-rails, adjustable height, and low rolling resistance through use of modern no-flat wheels with precision bearings, eases burdens and energy demands which are placed on humans when transporting various items. Materials are selected to reduce or eliminate regular service or maintenance. A kickstand aids the loading and unloading of the handcart, and positions the handcart ready for use. A ratcheting uphill assist prevents rolling backwards. The handcart may be assembled or disassembled without tools and components compactly arranged for storing and transporting.

A wheel locking mechanism, suitable for locking a wheel of a pushchair, the mechanism comprising: a rotatable member, adapted to be mounted on the hub of a wheel, whereby the rotatable member is co-rotatable with, and by rotation of, the wheel, the rotatable member comprising a locking surface, and a non-rotatable member, comprising a locking pin adapted to selectively cooperate with the locking surface of the rotatable member, whereby the relative positions of the rotatable and non-rotatable members are lockable. Also disclosed is a pushchair comprising a chassis having a rear axle, at each end of which a wheel is mountable, wherein each end of the rear axle is provided with such a wheel locking mechanism.

A cart apparatus for moving objects includes a frame that defines a cavity and steps operably coupled to the frame. The steps are movable into and between an inoperable position in which the steps are nested in the cavity and an operable position in which the steps are at least partially outside the cavity. One of the steps and the frame has a guide pin, and the other of the steps and the frame defines a slot in which the guide pin is slideably received. The slot is configured to guide the steps into and between the inoperable position and the operable position as the guide pin slides in the slot.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to trolleys designed for use onboard passenger transportation vehicles. Particular trolleys of this type find particular use onboard aircraft. The trolleys are used for meal and drink service and may be converted for use during waste collection.

A hand truck having improvements made to simplify and make more ergonomically use of a hand truck by an operator. The hand truck provided having adjustable handles and a bottom portion having adjustable stair climbers with improved feature and an improved wheel and brake assembly have an axle-less wheel assembly and an improved caliper mounting system. These features are discussed in detail in the forgoing.

A cart device (1) includes a first base portion (3a) which can travel on a floor surface, a support body (3b) which extends upward from the first base portion (3a), article placing members (2, 10) on which an article can be placed, and support means (4, 11) for disposing the article placing members (2, 10) on at least three sides around the support body (3b) such that a vertical position of each of the article placing members (2, 10) can be changed.

A cart apparatus for moving objects includes a frame that defines a cavity and steps operably coupled to the frame. The steps are movable into and between an inoperable position in which the steps are nested in the cavity and an operable position in which the steps are at least partially outside the cavity. One of the steps and the frame has a guide pin, and the other of the steps and the frame defines a slot in which the guide pin is slideably received. The slot is configured to guide the steps into and between the inoperable position and the operable position as the guide pin slides in the slot.

Collapsible reusable watertight carrying cases are provided in sizes varying from small containers without wheels to large sealable container bins on wheels, to provide large quantities of water or other supplies and cargo. The cases are assembled or disassembled from a joined flat space-saving configuration to a functioning case and vice-versa. The sides of the cases are erected progressively by hand by interlocking self sealing reciprocating channel and channel engaging members elements at the corners. The panels also disassemble progressively by being manually pulled apart. Optional foldable locking latches provide stability and aesthetics to the carrying case. When folded into a flat storage or shipping configuration, the panels stay together, resisting unfolding by virtue of snaps which are either molded into the panels or bonded to them. The carrying cases are resistant to water, dirt, bacteria, molds, allergens, and inclement weather.

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a wheeled transport device featuring at least one castor which has a wheel and a brake system which has a contact member with one opening which is defined by an edge. The contact member is configured to be manipulated between an applied state, where the edge is in contact with the wheel, and a released state where the edge is not in contact with the wheel.
