LIFT WHEEL LOCK FOR INSTALLING AND/OR REMOVING VAPORIZER VESSELS
A delivery system includes a handheld electric lift configured to lift at least one vaporizer vessel, and a cabinet configured to hold the at least one vaporizer vessel. The lift includes an elongated mast, an effector attached to the mast, a handler configured to move the lift, and at least one caster. The effector is controlled by an electric power source to move along the mast. Each of the at least one caster includes a stopper and a wheel. The stopper is elongated and is disposed above the wheel. The stopper is configured to engage with the wheel to prevent the wheel from swiveling when the stopper is pushed down. The stopper is further configured to disengage with the wheel to allow the wheel to swivel when the stopper is released. The cabinet includes at least one channel configured to accommodate the at least one caster.
CART STABILIZATION DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS
Devices, assemblies, systems, and methods are disclosed for stabilizing a cart. An example cart is a surgical cart having a robotic arm thereon. A stabilizer system may be part of or used with the cart to stabilize the cart at a location. The stabilizer system may include a stabilizer and an actuator. The stabilizer may have a foot and a biaser configured to bias the foot to a retracted position and contribute to an amount of force applied to a floor supporting the cart when the foot is in a deployed position. The actuator acts on the stabilizer to overcome a bias force biasing the stabilizer to the retracted position and cause feet of the stabilizer to contact the floor. Once the feet of the stabilizer contact the floor, a spring of the biaser causes the foot to apply a predetermined force amount to the floor.
Mobile apparatus for use at a construction site and method of using the mobile apparatus
A method of facilitating production of a structure at a construction site, the method including the steps of: a) obtaining a mobile apparatus having: a frame; first and second wheels and a steerable third wheel spaced in a fore and aft direction from the first and second wheels and laterally between the first and second wheels; and a platform on the frame defining a first upwardly facing surface that is spaced at least 20″ above the subjacent surface; b) placing at least one building component in a transporting position on the first upwardly facing surface; c) advancing the mobile apparatus from the first location to a second location at or adjacent the construction site; and d) separating the at least one building component from the transporting position at the second location.
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, linkage assemblies, brake locks and wheels. The brake drive assembly is disposed on the frame. The linkage assemblies are respectively slidably 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 linkage assemblies are coupled to the brake locks. Two wheels are respectively pivotally disposed at both sides of the frame. By driving the brake drive assembly to push the linkage assemblies to act with the brake locks, the brake locks on both sides are engaged with the wheels, thereby locking the wheels on both sides. Therefore, the baby carriage brake mechanism of the disclosure may brake wheels on both sides simultaneously with simple operation.
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.
MODULAR PLATFORM SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY
A modular platform system includes a plurality of tiles, legs, beams, and brackets. Peripheries of the tiles and top surfaces of the beams are configured so that the tiles can snap on to the beams, allowing for easy creation of a platform. The beams, legs, and brackets are all configured so that the beams and legs are easily connected together for platform system creation.

Swivel caster with swivel limiter and slide mechanism
A swivel caster includes a swivel assembly having a swivel plate configured to be mounted to a vehicle and defining a swivel axis. A horn depends downwardly from the swivel assembly and a wheel is wheel coupled to the horn with a wheel axle. A slide mechanism couples the horn to the swivel assembly and enables the wheel to slide in a direction generally perpendicular to the swivel axis between first and second trailing positions. The slide mechanism swivels with the horn, the wheel, and the swivel plate about the swivel axis. A swivel limiter is operatively associated with the swivel assembly and limits a swiveling range of the wheel about the swivel axis so as to activate the slide mechanism to reposition the wheel from the first trailing position to the second trailing position when a direction of travel of the vehicle changes.
MOBILE RADIOGRAPHY APPARATUS
A radiography apparatus includes: an irradiator that emits radiation; a carriage portion on which the irradiator is mounted and which is capable of traveling; steering casters which are provided in the carriage portion and are connected to a steering and whose steering angle is given by an operation of the steering; free casters which are provided in the carriage portion and are not connected to the steering and whose steering angle is changed subordinately according to a direction of force applied to the carriage portion; and a switching mechanism that selectively switches between a first grounded state in which the free casters are separated from a floor and the steering casters are grounded to the floor and a second grounded state in which the free casters are grounded to the floor and the steering casters are separated from the floor.
MOBILE LIFT TABLE
A lift table includes a base member, an air powered hydraulic powerpack assembly mounted to the base member, a tabletop, a lift assembly capable of actuated the tabletop relative to the base member, a handle extending upward from the base member, and an air supply docking station. The lift assembly includes a hydraulic cylinder assembly actuated by the air powered hydraulic powerpack. The handle includes a top potion of the handle elevated above the air-powered hydraulic powerpack. The air supply docking station is fixed to the top portion of the handle and is in fluid communication with the air-powered hydraulic powerpack assembly.
