Mower
There are included front and back slope portions attachable to and detachable from storage positions and use positions, front and back holding portions capable of engaging with engagement portions of the front and back slope portions as attached to the storage positions and holding the front and back slope portions at the storage positions, and a disengaging operation tool capable of being manually operated to a disengaging position at which the front holding portion and the back holding portion are releasable from the engagement portions of the front and back slope portions and at which the slope portions are detachable from the storage positions.
STACKED VEHICLE RAMP
The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle maintenance equipment, in particular, to a stacked vehicle ramp. The vehicle ramp includes a base frame. One end of the base frame is fixedly connected with a sloping plate, and both sides of the base frame are fixedly provided with a side plate. The other end of the base frame is fixedly connected with a rear plate, and a higher end of the sloping plate is fixedly connected with a top plate that is horizontally arranged. The sloping plate, the top plate and the rear plate are all fixedly connected between the two side plates, and one end of the top plate away from the sloping plate is fixedly connected to the rear plate. A first left groove and a first right groove are provided on the sloping plate, and the top plate is provided with a second left groove and a second right groove. The first left groove and the second left groove are both formed with left arc-shaped depressions, and both positions of the first right groove and the second right groove corresponding to the left arc-shaped depressions are formed with right arc-shaped depressions. The two side plates are provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grooves. The application has the effect that the support strength of the vehicle ramp can be greatly enhanced, and the vehicle ramp can also support the vehicle even by using lightweight materials
Mower
There are included a passage portion provided at an upper surface portion of a mower deck, front and back slope portions and provided at front and back portions of the passage portion, front and back supporting portions supporting the slope portions in such a manner that the slope portions are movable in the front-back direction and swingable in the up-down direction, and front and back linking portions that are supported in such a manner as to be swingable in the front-back direction about axes extending in the left-right direction and that are connected with the slope portions. Operating the front and back linking portions in the front-back direction causes the front and back slope portions to be operated to the storage and use positions.
Mechanical tire lift
A tire lifting assembly used to remove and replace a wheel and a tire on a vehicle is disclosed. The tire lifting assembly is configured to take the weight of the wheel and the tire when the service technician removes or replaces it thereby eliminating the need for manual efforts from a service technician. The assembly is rolled under the mounted wheel and tire and quickly adjusted to secure the wheel and tire by using a roller platform. A scissor jack mechanism is used to adjust the height of the roller platform which allows the rotation of the tire during the mounting procedure.
Mobility device securement system with winch apparatus
Provided herein is a electronically-controlled wheelchair securement system with a winch apparatus that is adapted for pulling and steering a mobility device (e.g., wheelchair, scooter, stretcher, etc.) up and down the ramp of a rear-entry wheelchair accessible vehicle and for providing securement for the mobility device during transport. The system includes two motorized front tie-down units adapted to be positioned in the vehicle at the front of the wheelchair securement area. The front tie-down units have extendable/retractable restraints adapted to connect to the front corners of the mobility device frame. By varying the motor speed between the two front tie-down units, the mobility device can be steered up the ramp. For example, when pulling the mobility device up the ramp, the mobility device can be directed to the left by increasing the speed of the right tie-down unit, slowing the speed of the left tie-down unit, or both. Similarly, the mobility device can be directed to the right by increasing the speed of the left tie-down unit, slowing the speed of the right tie-down unit, or both. Similar adjustments can be made to the speeds of the motors when the mobility device is being directed down the ramp.
Ramp
A ramp configured to support a wheel of a vehicle. The ramp includes a tapered height and a curved surface for a wheel of a vehicle to move along and elevate above a support surface. The ramp includes a base block configured to contact against the support surface. One or more stacker blocks are configured to connect to the base block to increase the elevation of the wheel of the vehicle. The base block and one or more stacker blocks are configured to be removably connected together to be adjustable to the needs of the user.
MOTORCYCLE LOADER
A motorcycle loader 100 for moving a motorcycle 10 without turning the motorcycle 10 on, and in particular, moving the motorcycle 10 to an elevated surface by attaching a friction wheel 102 to one of the tires 16 of the motorcycle 10 using a frame 110 that attaches to the motorcycle 10, and uses a motor 103 operatively connected to the friction wheel 102 to power the friction wheel 102, which causes the motorcycle wheel 16 to turn, thereby mobilizing the motorcycle 10. A controller 104 connected to the motor 103 of the motorcycle loader 100 can control the power, direction, and speed of the motor 103. The controller 104 can be connected to the battery of the motorcycle 10 to power the friction wheel 102. A clamp 160 operatively connected to the friction wheel 102 can be used to engage or disengage the friction wheel 102 from the tire 16 of the motorcycle 10.
LEVELLING RAMP ASSEMBLY
A levelling ramp assembly comprising: a ramp for supporting a wheel; the ramp having a ramp face with one or more ramp attachment elements located on the ramp face; at least one chock for engaging a wheel whilst on the ramp; the chock having a chock face with one or more chock attachment elements located on the chock face; wherein the ramp attachment elements and chock attachment elements engage to hold the ramp and the chock together.
Manual vehicle ramp jack with auxiliary hydraulic jack
A manual vehicle ramp jack with an auxiliary hydraulic jack including a pair of parallel tire ramps and a lifter base disposed on the front end of each tire ramp, which has a riser plate movably disposed within a central aperture thereof from a lowered, recessed condition to an alternate raised condition. Each riser plate is provided to receive a tire therein. A manually operated mechanical foot jack is in operational communication and a mechanical hydraulic toe jack is in alternate operational communication with the riser plate of each lifter base. A foot-depressible crossbeam operationally connects the foot jacks together which permits the foot jacks to be operated simultaneously.
Balanced locking pawl for a retractor
Provided herein is a balanced locking pawl. In particular, the center of gravity of the locking pawl is located at or near the pivot point of the locking pawl. The balanced approach allows for a faster locking response during the rebound (whiplash/return) forces of a crash.
