Abstract: A three wheeled scooter comprises a chassis having forward and aft ends with a front wheel non-pivotally mounted to the forward end and a pair of rear wheels coaxially mounted to the aft end. The chassis defines a longitudinal axis and includes a support assembly and a handle assembly extending upwardly from the support assembly. The rear wheels are configured to be angularly yawable relative to the longitudinal axis between a neutral position and a yawed position. Steering of the scooter is thereby effectuated by angular yawing of the rear wheels relative to the longitudinal axis such as by asymmetric loading of one of opposing sides of the support assembly.

Abstract: The assembly (10) for admitting combustion air to the engine of a motorcycle comprises: an air filter (12); a housing (11) for mounting at the top portion of the motorcycle and forming a support for the air filter (12); an air inlet module (13) fitted to the housing and including at least one movable shutter (131, 131?); control means for controlling the movements of the shutter (131, 131?); and assembly means (17, 171-174) for assembling the assembly at the top portion (21) of the motorcycle. The air filter (12) is generally annular and subdivides the inside volume of the housing (11) into a radially inner chamber and a radially outer chamber. The radially inner chamber is fed with air through the air inlet module (13), while the radially outer chamber forms, around the air filter (12), a chamber for stabilizing the flow of air downstream from the filter.

Abstract: A handtruck includes a tower having upper and lower ends and a handle adjacent the tower upper end. A support plate is generally adjacent the tower lower end and extends outwardly, the support plate configured to support a load. At least one wheel is operatively coupled to the tower or support plate. The handtruck includes an ejection member for moving the load from the support plate. The ejection member includes an elongate lever having upper and lower ends and being pivotally coupled to the tower. The ejection member includes a pushplate pivotally coupled to the lever and is movable between a rest configuration when the elongate lever upper end is relatively adjacent the tower and an offload configuration when the elongate lever upper end is relatively distant to the tower. A distal end of the pushplate is in slidable contact with the pushplate when moving between rest and offload configurations.

Abstract: A walker device for assisting an individual with mobility which is temporarily convertible to a wheeled transportation chair, includes a frame structure having two front legs and two rear legs supported or rotatable wheels. A seat is attached to the frame structure. A backrest is selectively disposed in a front position for a rearward seating condition or in a rear position for a forward seating condition. A footrest assembly is optionally attached to the frame structure and is adapted to pivot about first and second pivoting axes parallel to each other, between a folded position and an unfolded position.

Abstract: An in-line skate which includes a plurality of wheels mounted to a frame each having a primary contact surface which contacts a skating surface to support the skater when the skate is in a generally upright position, and at least one secondary rotatable contact surface disposed at a level above the primary contact surfaces when the skate is in a generally upright position and positioned to contact the skating surface only when the in-line skate is inclined beyond a selected angle from the vertical. The length of the wheelbase formed by the secondary contact surface is shorter than the length of the wheelbase formed by the primary contact surfaces. By effectively changing the length of the wheelbase of the in-line skate when the in-line skate is at a certain angle from the vertical, a tighter turning radius may be achieved.
