Omnidirectional safety walker

A safety walker having a frame with a set of spherical caster wheels connected to the lower portion of the frame to provide omnidirectional movement with reduced force. A braking system is provided, where when a weight exceeding a threshold weight is applied to the frame, the brake is engaged to inhibit movement of the walker on the ground. The brake may use a mechanism in which each spherical caster wheel is retractably mounted within a lower end of a corresponding leg of the frame. Each spherical wheel is spring-loaded to urge the spherical wheel downward from the lower end of the corresponding leg. As weight is applied to the frame, the spherical caster wheel is pushed into the lower end of the leg, allowing the lower end of the leg to contact the ground surface and maintain stationary contact between the leg and the ground surface.

Omnidirectional moving device and attitude control method for the same

An omnidirectional moving device is provided with a vehicle chassis, a vehicle body, a universal coupling, and an attitude stabilizing system. In the vehicle chassis, a plurality of wheels that are capable of moving omnidirectionally are provided. The vehicle body is mounted on the vehicle chassis. The universal coupling connects the vehicle chassis to the vehicle body, and the attitude of the vehicle body relative to the vehicle chassis can be changed via this universal coupling. The attitude stabilizing system causes the vehicle chassis to move in a direction that corresponds to a change in the attitude of the vehicle body, and maintains the attitude stability of the vehicle body.

Vehicle wheel nut

The utility model discloses a wheel nut, including a nut body which the outside surface comprises of multiple identical arc surfaces. The arc surface is protruding outward, and the radius of the arc surface is larger than the circumscribed radius of the outside surface of the nut body. The utility model designs the existing square surface of the outer hexagon feature of the wheel nut as an arc surface, which the contact area between the wheel nut and the sleeve and the loading area of the wheel nut can be increased, and then the deformation and looseness of the wheel nut can be avoided effectively, and therefore the service life of the wheel nut can be improved.

SMART BICYCLE WHEEL SENSOR SYSTEM

A bicycle wheel sensor is provided and includes a housing configured to be at least partially disposed within a tire of a bicycle wheel. The sensor may be mounted opposite a valve stem location to help balance the bicycle wheel. The bicycle wheel sensor has one or more sensors exposed to the inside of the tire and is configured to provide data obtained from within the tire. The sensor includes an electronic control unit that receives the data from the sensors and transmits the data to a user device via a transceiver.
