A wheel structure that makes braking easy and prevents sudden stops, and a pushcart having the wheel structure are provided. The wheel structure includes a rotor that is rotatable about an axle and is stopped from rotating by a brake member, a wheel that is coaxial with the rotor and is rotatable about the rotor, and a relative-rotation resisting member that is disposed between the rotor and wheel and produces resistance force resisting the relative rotation of the rotor and wheel.

A brake system for use with a wheeled device, such as a wheeled person transportation device, such as a wheelchair. The brake system comprises a handle comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is moveably coupled to the second portion; a carrier comprising an internal cavity; a brake actuator for actuating a brake, the brake actuator being arranged within the internal cavity; brake actuator biasing means for applying a biasing force to the brake actuator for biasing the brake actuator to a brake-engaged position; and force-transfer means coupled to the first portion and to the brake actuator such that movement of the first portion towards the second portion causes the brake actuator to move along the internal cavity of the carrier against the biasing force to a brake-disengaged position.

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 stroller capable of making braking easy and maintaining itself in a brake release state with a simple structure is provided. The stroller includes a body frame, wheels, a brake member located at a lower end of a leg section, and displaced between a braking position and a brake release position, an operating mechanism attached to the push rod, operatively associated with the brake member through a coupling member coupling the operating mechanism and the brake member, and being capable of being displaced between a first position corresponding to the braking position of the brake member and a second position corresponding to the brake release position of the brake member, a bias member biasing the brake member to move the brake member to the braking position, and a maintaining mechanism maintaining the operating mechanism in the second position corresponding to the brake release position.

A wheeled carrying apparatus includes a frame structure including a standing frame, a wheel mount carrying a wheel and pivotally connected with the standing frame, the wheel being rotatable relative to the first wheel mount about a wheel axis, a locking assembly including a wheel mount latch movably connected with the standing frame, the wheel mount latch being engaged with the wheel mount to rotationally lock the first wheel mount with respect to the standing frame, and disengaged from the wheel mount to unlock the wheel mount for rotation of the wheel mount to change an orientation of the wheel axis, an actuating assembly coupled to the wheel mount latch and including one or more linking part, and a release mechanism including an operating part provided on the frame structure that is operable to cause the actuating assembly to pull the wheel mount latch to disengage from the wheel mount.

A multipurpose riding apparatus having a chair body pivotally attached to a chair base, a seat associated with the chair body, a pair of front wheels rotationally attached to the chair body, a back wheel rotationally attached to the chair base; a brake attached to the chair body and associated with the back wheel, such that selective actuation of the brake prevents the rotation of the back wheel; an orientation lock associated with the chair body and the chair base, wherein the orientation lock is configured to selectively prevent rotation of the chair body about the chair base. The multipurpose riding apparatus may be ridden and controlled by a standing user that is standing on the chair base, while simultaneously holding a sitting user within the seat. The multipurpose riding apparatus may be folded into a compact package while not in use, thus facilitating easy storage and transport.

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 wheeled carrying apparatus includes a frame structure including a standing frame, a wheel mount carrying a wheel and pivotally connected with the standing frame, the wheel being rotatable relative to the first wheel mount about a wheel axis, a locking assembly including a wheel mount latch movably connected with the standing frame, the wheel mount latch being engaged with the wheel mount to rotationally lock the first wheel mount with respect to the standing frame, and disengaged from the wheel mount to unlock the wheel mount for rotation of the wheel mount to change an orientation of the wheel axis, an actuating assembly coupled to the wheel mount latch and including one or more linking part, and a release mechanism including an operating part provided on the frame structure that is operable to cause the actuating assembly to pull the wheel mount latch to disengage from the wheel mount.

A frame adjustable all-terrain stroller apparatus for use along hiking and wilderness trails includes rear wheels attachable at lowermost ends of independently positionable swing arms. Each swing arm is securable independently and each rear wheel is thereby positionable at a different elevation enabling stable operation of the stroller apparatus along sloped surfaces. Each rear wheel includes a stub axle devised to engage interior to an aperture disposed at the lowermost end of each of the pair of swing arms. The rear wheels are securable in each of a first position, exteriorly mounted to the swing arms, and a second position, interiorly mounted to the swing arms, whereby the rear wheel track of the stroller apparatus is variable. No rear axle connecting between the rear wheels is required, so clearance of the stroller apparatus is maintained.

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.
