  • Publication number: 20120137817
    Abstract: A power control member for manned vehicles is revealed. The power control member includes a handle, a stem support and a power controller. The handle is sleeved and assembled with the stem support of a manned vehicle, and the power controller is arranged between the handle and the stem support. A power control shaft of the power controller shares the same axis with the handle and connects to the handle. Thereby rotation of the handle drives the power controller to control the direction and speed of the manned vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20110253464
    Abstract: A suspension system for an electric wheelchair is revealed. A pivot on a front end of a wheelchair frame pivotally connects a front wheel frame and a drive set frame. A front suspension system is disposed between the front wheel frame and a drive set frame. The front wheel frame is assembled with front wheels, the drive set frame is disposed with a drive set and a drive wheel is arranged at a power output end of the drive set. Moreover, an auxiliary suspension device is arranged between the drive set frame and the frame while a rear end of the frame is disposed with rear wheels. Thereby the electric wheelchair has good stability and slip-resistance, not easily overturned or slid by interaction between the front and the auxiliary suspension devices while driving through concave surfaces or convex surfaces. Therefore the safety of users seated in wheelchairs is assured.

  • Publication number: 20110220431
    Abstract: A personnel carrier for standing occupant is provided, comprising a handle portion, a bearing portion, a power supply portion and a drive portion. The handle portion has a support section, a steering handle, a front wheel and a forward-reverse manipulation unit. The bearing portion having a bearing stage is pivotally coupled with the handle portion, two rear wheels being attached to the bearing stage. The power supply portion is mounted on the support section of the handle portion. The drive portion incorporated with an electromagnetic brake device is disposed in the front wheel to control advance or stop of the personnel carrier. In this manner, a compact personnel carrier for bearing personnel in standing manner is thus formed.

  • Patent number: 8002354
    Abstract: A chair device for a person carrier includes a backrest unit formed by a front backrest and a rear backrest. The backrest unit is pivotally joined to a seat unit in which two opposite fan-shaped limit projecting members are provided at each pivot-joint end of the seat unit. The fan-shaped limit projecting members can be angularly displaced to a position to be engaged with fan-shaped recesses in the pivot-joint ends of the rear backrest. The fan-shaped limit projecting members have a position limited space for angular displacement within the fan-shaped recesses so that the backrest unit of the chair can move in the range between a collapsing state and an unfolding state. Furthermore, strength reinforcing edge ribs are provided at both sides where the front backrest is assembled to the rear backrest.

  • Patent number: 7954577
    Abstract: An electric wheelchair is disclosed. The electric wheelchair includes a main frame correspondingly pivoted with a foldable chair while the folding of the chair connects with an accessory tip wheel. Moreover, the main frame is disposed with main wheels and a front wheel set arranged on front of the main wheel correspondingly on each of two sides thereof. A footrest that is pulled out or stored in the main frame is arranged between the two front wheel sets. In use, the footrest is pulled out of the main frame and the chair is moved and unfolded. At the same time, the accessory tip wheel tilted a little angle is extended out of the main frame by a connecting member. Thereby the problem caused by movement of the center of gravity of the wheelchair while moving can be solved and the safety of users is ensured.

  • Patent number: 7793949
    Abstract: A foldable vehicle frame includes a first main body, a second main body having a pedal portion and at least one joint portion, and a connecting mechanism connected to the first main body and the second main body. The connecting mechanism further includes a pair of rod parts, and the pair of rod parts respectively has a head end and a tail end. The head end is rotatably connected to the first main body, and the tail end is rotatably connected to the second main body, such that the connecting mechanism is turned over and stacked at a lower layer of the first main body, and the pedal portion of the second main body is folded under the turned-over connecting mechanism, so as to form a folded state. Furthermore, the connecting mechanism, the first main body, and the second main body are all unfolded simultaneously to form an unfolded state.
