A cart power supply device includes a power supply resonance circuit, a notification element, a current detection circuit, and a control circuit. The power supply resonance circuit includes a power supply coil that can be electromagnetically coupled to a power reception coil mounted on a shopping cart or the like. The current detection circuit detects a current flowing through the power supply resonance circuit. The control circuit supplies an alternating current to the power supply resonance circuit at a first level and operates the notification element in a first mode when the detected current is less than a first threshold. The control circuit supplies the alternating current at a second level when the detected current is greater than the first threshold and operates the notification element in a second mode.

A multifunctional motorized stroller device including a stroller body frame including a motor member, a braking member, a handle member, a canopy member, wheel frame member and a seating member. The motor member provides propulsion to the device. The braking member ceases movement of the device. The handle member having a push button start element to activate the motor and an emergency brake activator element for activating the braking element. The canopy member having at least one cup holder element, a universal serial bus (USB) charging element for charging electronic devices and a solar panel element for providing electricity to the device. The wheel frame member having a plurality of wheel elements, a battery element and at least one pair of fan elements for cooling the device. The seating member having a removable seat cover.

A non-contact power supply unit includes connectable units. Each of the connectable units includes a cart wheel guide, a non-contact power supply device configured to perform wireless power charging of a cart, a first connector, and a second connector. The first connector is connectable to the second connector of another connectable unit and the second connector is connectable to the first connector of another connectable unit. The cart wheel guides of the connectable units are aligned with each other when connected.

A robotic cart platform with a navigation and movement system that integrates into a conventional utility cart to provide both manual and autonomous modes of operation. The platform includes a drive unit with drive wheels replacing the front wheels of the cart. The drive unit has motors, encoders, a processor and a microcontroller. The system has a work environment mapping sensor and a cabled array of proximity and weight sensors, lights, control panel, battery and on/off, GO and emergency stop buttons secured throughout the cart. The encoders obtain drive shaft rotation data that the microcontroller periodically sends to the processor. When in autonomous mode, the system provides navigation, movement and location tracking with or without wireless connection to a server. Stored destinations are set using its location tracking to autonomously navigate the cart. When in manual mode, battery power is off, and back-up power is supplied to the encoders and microcontroller, which continue to obtain shaft rotation data. When in autonomous mode, the shaft rotation data obtained during manual mode is used to determine the present cart location.

A pneumatic cylinder actuated pallet jack assembly for mechanically lifting and lower a pallet includes a pallet jack, a plurality of pneumatic cylinders, and a compressor. The forks of the pallet jack are slidably coupled to a frame of the pallet jack. Each of a pair of rear rollers that is coupled to a respective fork distal from the frame and a roller module that is slidably coupled to the frame are selectively vertically positionable. A tow bar is pivotally coupled to the frame proximate to the roller module. Pneumatic cylinders are operationally coupled singly to each of the forks, the pair of rear rollers, and to the roller module, and the compressor. The compressor is positioned to selectively actuate respective pneumatic cylinders to size a gap between the forks and to raise the forks and the frame to lift a load that is positioned on the pallet.

The present disclosure is related to an electric pallet truck. The electric pallet truck includes a frame, a lifting unit, and a walking unit. The lifting unit is configured to adjust a height of the frame. The walking unit is configured to drive the frame to move. The lifting unit includes a lifting mechanism fixedly connected to the frame and a hydraulic mechanism configured to control a lifting of the lifting mechanism. The walking unit includes a driving mechanism configured at a bottom of the lifting mechanism.

A method and device to easily attach and detach a cargo frame to a lower frame on a wheeled cart by inserting and securing the cargo frame into u-shaped and C-shaped brackets located on the lower frame.

The invention relates to a means of transport (10) having at least one wheel (12), which is driven by means of an electric motor (14). The electric motor (14) is part of the means of transport. It furthermore comprises a brake (16) for braking the wheel (12) and/or the motor (14), wherein the brake (16) has an actuating means (18). The motor is supplied by an energy store (20). According to the invention, the energy store (20) is fixed to the actuating means (18).

A wagon having both a utility mode and a driving mode is disclosed. The wagon includes a chassis and a bucket for conveying at least one object. The object can be an inanimate object, wherein the wagon can be configured in utility mode to be pulled by an operator. Or, the object can be a living being, wherein the wagon can be configured either for the utility mode or a driving mode to be driven and controlled by an occupant of the bucket. Various features enable the wagon to be reconfigurable for a desired design.
