BRAKING AND LOCKING SYSTEM FOR CASTER WHEELS
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.
Housekeeping cart with wall protectors
The present invention relates to a mobile housekeeping cart having a base supported by casters and wheels, where the casters have user-accessible swivel-lock levers to aid in controlling the motion of the mobile cart. Brackets extend downward from the corners of the base as housings for wall-protecting corner rollers. The corner rollers are positioned at a sufficiently low height so that the adjustable shock absorption rollers will impact base trim on walls instead of the wall surfaces themselves. The cart also has a main body storage area with an adjustable shelf, and a top storage area with a top hood. Handles are provided for user control of the cart, as well as to provide an attachment area for removable side storage bags, as well as providing attachment of tools and cleaning supplies.
Wheel dolly storage apparatus and method
Apparatus and methods for wheel dolly storage. An apparatus includes a first elongated arm and a plurality of vertical support structures configured to be affixed to a horizontal surface of the first elongated arm. Each of the plurality of vertical support structures is configured to be inserted into an end portion of a wheel dolly to support the wheel dolly in a vertical orientation. The apparatus also includes a connector portion configured to be affixed to an end of the first elongated arm. A second arm is configured to be affixed to the connector portion on a first end. A second end of the second arm opposite the first end is configured to be inserted into an end portion of a base wheel dolly while the first elongated arm rests on the base wheel dolly.
BABY CARRIAGE BRAKE MECHANISM AND BABY CARRIAGE HAVING THE SAME
The disclosure provides a baby carriage brake mechanism and a baby carriage. The baby carriage brake mechanism includes a frame, a brake drive assembly, two linkage assemblies, and two brake locks. The brake drive assembly is disposed on the frame. The two linkage assemblies are respectively disposed on the frame on both of left and right sides. Both ends of the brake drive assembly are respectively in abutting connection with the two linkage assemblies. The two brake locks are fixedly connected to the two linkage assemblies, respectively. By driving the brake drive assembly to rotate, the brake drive assembly is configured to push the two linkage assemblies to slide up and down, so as to drive the two brake locks to move.
Caster unit and medical apparatus including same
A medical apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a medical device; and a plurality of caster units, disposed below the medical device, for supporting the medical device to be movable, wherein each of the plurality of caster units includes: a wheel part; and a shock absorbing member which is configured to support the wheel part and to absorb the shock applied to the wheel part, wherein the shock absorbing member includes: a wheel fixing member for fixing the wheel part; a body fixing member which surrounds the wheel fixing member and is fixed to the medical device; and a cushioning member which is disposed between the wheel fixing member and the body fixing member and is capable of elastic deformation, wherein the shock absorbing member includes: a first deforming part extending in the vertical direction; and a second deformation part extending, from an end of the first deformation part, in a direction different from the extending direction of the first deformation part.
Methods and systems for moving a roll of turf end first
A device and method for moving a turf roll end first through a narrow gate. A turf roll mover has a front cradle and a rear cradle, connectable by a connector bar. The connector bar is used to lever the turf roll onto the turf roll mover and to connect the front and rear cradles. Each cradle has four wheels and tires suited for driving over the ground with relatively low friction. To move the turf roll onto the mover, the connector bar is inserted into the one end of the turf roll and used as a lever to lift that end onto the front cradle, then inserted into the other end of the turf roll to lift that end onto the rear cradle. The connector bar is placed into a receiver on the front cradle and into a receiver on the rear cradle to connect the cradles.

MEDICAL DEVICE
The present invention provides a medical device comprising: a main body; and two or more fixed casters and at least one floating caster, which are connected to a bottom portion of said main body and support said main body, wherein said floating caster is capable of floating in the vertical direction relative to said main body.
Mobile X-ray imaging apparatus
A mobile X-ray imaging apparatus has an angle sensor and a movement calculation circuit that controls the driving of drive wheels based on the turning angle of auxiliary wheels relative to a straight moving direction of the base unit when a fine movement switch instructs movement of the base unit in the fine movement mode. The turning angle of auxiliary wheels is detected by a turning angle sensor and the rotation of the pair of drive wheels is controlled by the movement calculation circuit as the auxiliary wheels turns to the straight moving direction.
Bearing for Supporting Roller
Bearing for at least one supporting roller of a carriage, which supporting roller is supported on at least one bearing surface, comprising at least one axle device which can be rotated about at least one rotational axis, at least one rocker which is connected to the axle device such that it is reliably driven, wherein, at an end which lies opposite the axle device, the rocker has at least one first connecting device for connecting the rocker to the supporting roller, at least one spring device which is arranged mechanically between the axle device and/or the rocker on one side and at least one holding device on the other side, wherein a force which forces the supporting roller onto the bearing surface can be built up on the axle device and the rocker by means of the spring device, and at least one damping device, by means of which a rotational movement of the axle device about the rotational axis can be damped, characterized in that the spring device and the damping device are configured in one piece at least in regions by way of at least one torsion spring element which is of rubber-elastic configuration at least in regions.
