  • Patent number: 8297388
    Abstract: Each wheel (10, 14/20, 24) of the wheelchair (1) is fixed to a suspension arm (11,15/21, 25). A force transmitting device, for example a spring and damper of the wheelchair unit, directly connects two suspension arms situated on the same side of the wheeled conveyance, so that forces exerted on one of the wheels are transmitted to the other wheel. In this way, obstacles can more conveniently be overcome. A further advantage of the wheelchair is that it can be easily upscaled and driving properties can be adjusted according to a user's preferences.

  • Patent number: 7073773
    Abstract: The invention concerns a rapid connection coupling (10) for transferring high-pressure gases and/or liquid, in particular for refilling a high-pressure, mobile container such as a gas cylinder with oxygen in a home environment or at a transfill station with a transfill device. The coupling in question comprises the following elements: a tubular housing (11), an outer sliding sleeve (18) which can slide relative to the housing (11); a number of radially expanding collet chuck elements (15) mounted on the housing (11) and provided with an engaging contour (17) which facilitates connection to a matching connection fitting (30); and a sealing piston (22) capable of sliding centrally inside the housing (11), the said sealing piston being brought into contact with the connecting fitting (30). Internal parts (e.g.
