  • Patent number: 10159613
    Abstract: A device (1) for loading a vehicle (50) includes a platform for positioning inside the larger vehicle, a ramp having a sidewall, and a bridging member connectable between the platform and ramp, wherein the bridging member and ramp are configured to move to a deployed position in which the bridging member extends between the platform and the ramp such that the bridging member and platform are substantially coplanar, and the ramp extends at an angle from the bridging member. A mobility vehicle includes a body having a floor, wherein the floor has an upper side and a ground-facing side, at least one front wheel and a plurality of rear wheels, and a guide (53) attachable to the body and movable away from the floor to a deployed position on the ground-facing side of the floor. The mobility vehicle may ascend the ramp of the device and the guide contacts the sidewall and lifts the at least one front wheel off the floor of the device.

  • Patent number: 8172014
    Abstract: A vehicle steering means with a first front ground-engaging steerable wheel located in the front center of the vehicle; second and third front ground-engaging wheels located either side of the first front ground-engaging wheel with means for adjusting the steer angle and the height depending on the steer angle of the first front ground-engaging wheel. When the first front ground-engaging wheel has a straight-ahead steer angle, the second and third wheels are also straight-ahead and all three front ground-engaging wheels are in contact with the ground; and when the steer angle of the first front ground-engaging wheel is turned, the steer angle of the front ground-engaging wheel on the outside of said curve is turned at least partly towards the steer angle of the first front ground-engaging wheel, the steer angle of the front ground-engaging wheel on the inside of said curve is not substantially turned towards the steer angle of the first front ground-engaging wheel.
