  • Patent number: 9878758
    Abstract: A motorized foldable bicycle assembly is foldably collapsible from a ridable elongated, segmented four sectioned frame arrangement. The frame consisting of a front wheel support frame, a front frame, a mid frame and a rear wheel support frame, with a set of electronically controlled motorized front and rear wheels spaced longitudinal alignment, apart one on each end of the four-sectioned elongated frame arrangement. The frame sections are foldable into an unridable configuration wherein the front wheel and a displaced rear wheel are arranged in an aligned, side-by-side adjacent, tandem configuration controllably guided by a steering column supported handlebar motor speed and direction control arrangement. A bicycle-supported tilt sensor actuator is in communication with a control computer and a circuit electronically connected to a bicycle handlebar switch, to permit operator controlled non-riding, self-powered, electric-motor-engaged movement of the tilted, partially foldably collapsed bicycle.

  • Patent number: 9719555
    Abstract: A lockable hinge arrangement comprising a first hinge plate and a second hinge plate, wherein the first and the second hinge plates being hingedly connected to one another at one elongated first edge thereof to comprise the hinge arrangement. The hinge arrangement further a longitudinally displaceable elongated locking plate slidably attached to a second elongated edge of the second plate, the displaceable locking plate arranged to secure and release the first plate and the second plate from one another. A locking plate cam arrangement effects and permits the locking and forced separating release of the first plate and the second plate from rigid securement with one another. The elongated locking plate is acted upon by both a first cam arrangement and a second cam arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9708025
    Abstract: A motorized foldable bicycle assembly arranged to be collapsible from an elongated four-sectioned segmented frame arrangement with a set of electronically controlled motorized front and rear wheels spaced longitudinally apart on the elongated frame arrangement. The front wheel and the rear wheel are arranged in an aligned, side-by-side adjacent configuration with a steering column supported handlebar arrangement correspondingly collapsed in a skewed or misaligned orientation in a space between the side-by-side wheels when folded up in an unridable configuration. The segmented frame arrangement generally forms a “M” configuration in the bicycle's folded and collapsed configuration.

  • Patent number: 9393981
    Abstract: A foldable cart assembly having a user tracking arrangement so as to autonomously precede the movement of a user or follow movement instructions of the user during motion over a field. The cart assembly has a plurality of ultrasound and RF sensors in communication with corresponding sensors in a remote handset transmission device carried by the user. The sensors provide timing, direction and distance information to a central processor on the cart for instructing individual electrical motors empowering the respective direction and speed of rotation of the cart's wheels.

  • Patent number: 8955870
    Abstract: A foldable cart assembly which is arranged to provide trackable transportation to a product or a person. The cart contains sensors and computer-controlled drive wheels to enable that cart assembly, when fully opened, to follow a safe path as directed by received electronic signals. That cart assembly is also tri-foldably collapsible, so as to have multiple portions pivoted into nesting configuration with one another thus containable in a minimal volume and even carried by an individual.
