PERSONAL WHEELCHAIR MOTORIZED VEHICLE SYSTEM
20170296405 · 2017-10-19 ·

A motor vehicle for independent use by an individual in a wheelchair, comprising an open air vehicle body including a floor further comprising a front, a rear, and lateral sides, said floor sized and shaped to receive and retain a wheelchair; a motor; at least one front and at least one rear wheel supporting said vehicle body and floor, each of said front and rear wheels attached rotatably near an underside of a corner of the vehicle body; at least one actuator attaching said floor to said at least one rear wheel, wherein said floor can be lowered to a ground surface and raised to a level floor position; wherein a rear portion of said floor is structured to fold upward to form said rear side and fold downward to be in line with said floor; and a steering control assembly coupled to said at least one front wheel.

Highly mobile robot for remote inspection

A robotic vehicle can include a plurality of motors coupled to a plurality of gearboxes, each gearbox of the plurality of gearboxes configured to be rotated, a plurality of nested driveshafts coupled to the plurality of gearboxes and including at least a first driveshaft and a second driveshaft, and a plurality of appendages operably coupled to the plurality of gearboxes. A particular appendage of the plurality of appendages can be configured to be rotated in response to a rotational motion of the first driveshaft. The robotic vehicle can include a plurality of wheels coupled to the plurality of appendages and configured to rotate about a plurality of wheel axles. Each wheel of the plurality of wheels can be configured to cause the robotic vehicle to be transported across a contacting surface in response to the rotational motion of the second driveshaft.

Rotatable bed for a pickup truck

A pickup truck can include a bed that is configured to be rotatable. The bed can be defined in part by a first side wall, a second side wall, a front wall, a back wall, and a floor. The bed can include a standard position in which the first and second side walls of the bed can be substantially parallel to a longitudinal direction of the pickup truck. The bed can be selectively rotatable about an axis of rotation into one or more rotated positions. In a rotated position, the first and second side walls can be angled relative to the longitudinal direction. The bed can also be raised in an elevational direction such that a lowermost point of the bed is located above a chassis frame of the pickup truck. A rotatable bed can expand its uses and allow for convenient access to the bed from a desired position.

Trailer Vehicle Apparatuses
20200102029 · 2020-04-02 ·

The present invention is directed to a trailer vehicle apparatus comprising a trailer body, an axle, and a truss suspension structure (TSS). The axle comprises a shaft traversing the trailer body width. TSS comprises first and second platforms and truss structures. The first and second platforms comprising a first and second proximate end, respectively. Each truss structure is: perpendicularly oriented relative to the top surface of the platforms; affixed to corner nodes of the first and second proximate ends; and comprises a strut channel perpendicularly oriented relative to the top surfaces of the platforms as well as traverses a length of the truss structure. TSS is affixed to a bottom surface of the trailer body. The axle shaft comprises strut structures each slidably mounted within a strut channel. Strut structures are configured to traverse the strut channel as the trailer vehicle converts between a mobile state and a stationary state.

STACKABLE DISASTER RELIEF VEHICLE
20180043953 · 2018-02-15 ·

A stackable mobile platform vehicle with a body with attached tires and wheels with a load bearing strength of at least 2500 pounds. In some instances the platform vehicle is powered by an electrical motor coupled to a generator which is powered by an internal combustion engine. A large flat load bearing deck on top of the vehicle is sufficient to support the weight of at least one additional stackable mobile platform vehicle. In some instances electricity produced by the generator can by exported from the mobile vehicle platform for use external to the mobile vehicle platform.
