Abstract: The present invention includes a footbed for an elliptical exercise machine designed to pivot during the elliptical range of rotation thereby allowing the user's foot to dictate the angle of the footbed throughout that entire path of rotation. The footbed assembly includes, generally, a platform, two posts, footpad, saddle, and pads. The platform or plate mount is mounted to the elongated rails of the elliptical machine with the posts extending vertically therefrom. The footpad includes wings extending from on each side. The wings are bent upwardly such that they extend above the surface of the footpad. The upward point of the wings are pivotally secured to the posts such that the pivot point is a distance above the plane of the footpad.

Abstract: A motorized wheel chair is provided comprising a chassis having two rear wheels and one front wheel mounted thereon. The front wheel is steerable by a handlebar. The rear wheels are driven by an electric motor, coupled to a gearbox, for reducing the speed of the wheel chair. The gearbox drives a friction drive assembly which is engageable with the rear wheels and also is coupled to the handlebar such that one of the rear wheels will be disengaged depending upon which direction the handlebar is turned. The device is provided with a switch which cuts power to the device when a change in surface elevation of a desired amount is detected either in front of or behind the device. A second switch may be provided to stop the vehicle upon contact with a foreign object. A third switch may be activated remotely to stop the device. Also, the chassis is adjustable in length, such that as a child grows the device may be adjusted accordingly.
