Abstract: An accessory is provided for a wheelbarrow. The wheelbarrow has: a wheel; a tray; a pair of handle members supporting the tray relative to the wheel and extending rearward past the tray; and a pair of legs for cooperating with the wheel to support the wheelbarrow in a parked condition. The sled has a left runner and a right runner each mounted at a first location relative to one or both of the legs and mounted at a forward location.

Abstract: A repel assembly and method includes an engagement surface having an adhesive plane for securing to an object, a plurality of attachment spikes extending from the engagement surface at an angle transverse to the adhesive plane and a transport surface for supporting a fixture coupled to the plurality of attachment spikes, the fixture being positioned between the engagement surface and the transport surface. The repel assembly further includes an annular ring having an upper and lower ring coupled to the repel assembly, the lower ring having first and second ends spaced by a wiper body such that the annular ring repels debris from contacting and/or collecting on the transport surface.

Abstract: A scooter device propelled by side to side movement of a user that includes a frame structure through which at least a front wheel is coupled to two direction biased rear wheels. The frame structure may have a foot placement platform that extends laterally between the two rear wheels. The platform may extend over half of the distance between the rear wheels and/or be substantially continuous for that distance. Various platform embodiments and frame structures, including rigid and flexible, are disclosed, among other aspects.

Abstract: The invention relates to a walker having a main supporting frame, a superstructure frame and a body support means. The superstructure frame is operatively arranged for vertical adjustment relative to the main supporting frame and includes an adjustable interior opening for accommodating a user and an entrance gate operatively arranged to provide access to the adjustable interior opening. The body support means is secured to the superstructure frame and operatively arranged to support the user. Furthermore, the walker may include four wheels, each of which may include a directional locking apparatus and/or braking system, and the walker may include at least one arm support operatively arranged for supporting the user. The walker may also include at least one handle operatively arranged for transmission of the walker.

Abstract: A snow-sliding vehicle including a bearing rear runner and a directional front runner to which is connected a steering column pivoting in a sleeve firmly attached to the upper end of a stiff frame connecting both runners, and the lower end of which is attached to a supporting base surmounting the bearing runner and provided for supporting the feet of the user. The front portion of said base is connected to the bearing runner by a mechanical connection providing it with clearance ostensibly perpendicular to said runner controlled by a damping device.

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: Disclosed herein is a caster skate apparatus to be propelled in a direction changeable manner by use of rider's both feet. The apparatus comprises front and rear boards (20, 30) to support both feet thereon, first and second rollers (22, 23) mounted to the underside of the front board at front and rear locations by a predetermined distance, third and fourth rollers (32, 33) mounted to the underside of the rear board at front and rear locations by a predetermined distance, a flexible connector (52) having a predetermined length and connected at opposite ends thereof to the front and rear boards to allow the front and rear boards to independently move within a predetermined range. A rotating center of each of the first and third rollers is spaced apart from an axis, having a predetermined inclination angle with respect to undersides of the respective boards, by a predetermined distance.

Abstract: An attachment (A) mounted on an end of a litter (L) used for transporting a person includes a frame (3) extending transversely of the litter between poles (P1, P2) at one end of the litter. A pair of collars (4) are attached to the frame and sized to fit over ends of the poles for mounting the attachment to the litter. Wheels (1, 19) carried by the frame extend beneath the litter so when the attachment is mounted in place, the litter is movable over a surface by only one attendant. A trapezoidal support (18) extends upwardly from the frame above an upper surface of the litter so when the attendant lifts the end of the litter opposite that on which the attachment is mounted, the person placed on the litter is supported in place and will not fall off the litter.
