An auxiliary drive device for a wheelchair has at least one electrically driven drive wheel and a coupling mechanism for coupling the auxiliary drive device to the wheelchair. The coupling mechanism includes a movable locking element which is movably supported in the coupling mechanism. The movable locking element can be in a locking position in which it causes locking in a positive-locking manner so that the auxiliary drive device is coupled to the wheelchair and, by operation of a handle, the locking element can be moved in a release position in which uncoupling of the auxiliary drive device from the wheelchair is possible.

A support device includes a base member, a caster assembly coupled to the base member including a caster pivotally coupled to the base member, at least two planar members positioned above the caster and pivotally coupled to one another by at least two opposing hinges, and a shaft positioned between the at least two opposing hinges and extending through the at least two planar members.

A motorized wheelchair controlled by electronic control, equipped with a structure adapted to receive a series of quick adjustments and an off-road kit to allow its locomotion through differentiated, rough and inhospitable terrains. Said wheelchair is formed by a tubular metallic structure composed of a seat structure, backrest structure, armrest and lower support structure equipped with a front wheel and rear wheel. The off-road kit consists of a pair of rear wheels with off-road or mixed tires equipped with their own rotating motor, and a pair of front wheels with off-road or mixed tires, being such wheels engaged and fixed to the chair, easily and quickly replacing the original ones.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a removable power assist for converting a manual wheelchair into an electronic wheelchair, based on configuring a friction roller to releasably engage with a wheelchair wheel, configuring the friction roller when engaged to drive the wheel through a contact surface with the wheel above the wheel center and behind the wheelchair seating area, configuring a motor to rotate the friction roller, and moving the wheelchair based on engaging the friction roller and activating the motor to turn the wheel through force by the friction roller against the contact surface with the wheel. The power assist may include a user-operable lever configured to engage or disengage the friction roller without a user leaving their seated position in the wheelchair. Configuring the friction roller above the wheel center and behind the wheelchair seating area may permit collapsible wheelchair folding or unfolding without uninstalling the power assist.

A personal mobility device includes a frame, a plurality of wheels attached to the frame and one or more pneumatic motors. Each of the one or more pneumatic motors has a drive shaft in operative connection with at least one of the plurality of wheels. The personal mobility device further includes at least one tank (that is, a storage container) for storage of a pressurized gas in operative connection with the one or more pneumatic motors to supply pressurized gas to the one or more pneumatic motors and a control system in operative connection with the at least one tank and with the one or more pneumatic motors.

A wheelchair comprises a base assembly and a tilt assembly supported on the base assembly. The base assembly has a wheelbase and a wheel track. Each of the wheelbase and wheel track is independently adjustable. The tilt assembly is unchanged when either the wheelbase or wheel track is adjusted.

An electrical power assistance device designed to be removably coupled to existing transport wheelchairs to provide electric power to aid in transportation of a person sitting in the wheelchair, while being detachable to allow the transport chair to fold up for easy storage in a car or other vehicle. The electrical power assistance device includes a motor powered by a rechargeable battery, where the motor drives an internal shaft which rotates a pair of friction wheels. A clutch, provided on a separate axle coupled to the friction wheels by eccentric disks, allows the friction wheels to engage or disengage with the rear wheels of the transport wheelchair.

A suspension for a vehicle is provided. The suspension includes, for example, a frame, at least one drive assembly and at least one caster pivot arm. The at least one drive assembly and the at least one caster pivot arm are pivotally connected to the frame at a common pivot axis such that the drive assembly and the front caster pivot arm are pivotable relative to one another.

A motor unit having a motor shaft, and a speed reduction mechanism connected to the motor shaft are included. The speed reduction mechanism includes a sun gear unit disposed on the motor shaft, planetary gear units meshing with the sun gear unit and arranged in the circumferential direction, a carrier at least a part of which surrounds the planetary gear units, and an output unit connected to the planetary gear units. The carrier includes a first cylindrical portion disposed outward of and above the sun gear unit and extending in the axial direction. The first cylindrical portion rotatably supports the output unit via a bearing, and the bearing is at least partly disposed radially inward of the radially outer end of the planetary gear unit.

Provided is a robot including a seating body provided with a seat and an armrest body and a steering, the steering housing has an opening in an upper portion thereof and an inner space therein is disposed on the armrest body. The steering includes a handle and a lower portion passing through the opening, the lower portion being accommodated in the inner space and an elevator accommodated in the inner space, the elevator being connected to the lower portion of the steering body to elevate the steering body.
