Abstract: The mobile medical device carrier is a wheeled, human-operated cart designed to assist the operator by providing a place to secure a medical apparatus such as a Vacuum Assisted Closure (V.A.C.) device, as well as store assorted dressings, cords, and other personal effects that may be convenient to have on the cart as well. The cart is easily maneuverable, permitting those individuals using such medical devices to be mobile, despite having to be in close proximity to these types of devices. Further, the handle is designed so that the operator of the cart does not have to stoop over to reach the handle, as well as being ergonomically designed to permit the cart to be easily pushed or pulled, depending upon the user's current need.

Abstract: A mobile bin cart which supports recycling bins. The cart has a vertically oriented frame with wheels at the bottom for tilting back and moving the cart. A plurality of horizontal cross braces spans the frame, with each brace vertically mounted above the others. At least two contoured support brackets are adjustably mounted to each cross brace so that the hook elements are oriented vertically upwards. The circumferential lip of a standard recycling bin is then supported by the hook elements, with the bin swinging backward to butt against the cart frame for additional support. The bins can then be removed and replaced with a vertical lifting motion hence making loading and unloading the cart much easier for the user.

Abstract: Control valves are respectively provided in a pair of variable displacement hydraulic pumps. If an ultra low speed travel signal is issued in response to an ultra-low-speed switch turned on, one of the control valves is fixed to a neutral position by a solenoid valve. And a displacement amount of a travel motor is fixed at a maximum displacement by another solenoid valve. In this way, an upper limit for motor rotation speed is significantly reduced. As a result, it is possible to realize the ultra low speed travel with maximum operation of an accelerator pedal, without the need for subtle operation of the accelerator pedal.

Abstract: A collapsible and portable cart for universal use in a wide variety of residential and commercial environments, transporting different and various items, while shopping, gardening, laundry, transporting boxes or luggage, etc. The cart has base portion with wheels, which enable to move over the ground and a first foldable basket for heavy loads; and the rapper portion, that has a second foldable basket. Base portion is pivotally connected to the upper portion by link arms and secured by locking mechanisms. Both baskets have locking mechanism to keep the foldable screens in an upright position. The portable universal cart includes a receptacle with compartments, having different devices, to make the use of the cart more pleasing, safe and with more comfort for the user. The portable universal cart has different configurations according the user's need.

Abstract: A trailer landing gear drive system in which pneumatic, hydraulic and electric motors, as well as the traditional hand crank, are easily interchangeable. The landing gear jack mechanism is disposed to easily connect to any one of these drive motors. The system can utilize any one of the three motor combinations without making any change to the jack itself. Each drive motor output shaft is keyed to connect to the input shaft driving the worm gear of the jack. The output shaft of each type of motor is keyed the same so that the motors are swappable with respect to the input shaft of the landing gear. The hand crank shaft is also keyed to be the same as the keyed motor output shafts. Each motor may include a flange to permit it to be secured to the landing gear. The system eliminates the gear reduction box and replaced it with a worm gear.

Abstract: A size-adjustable in-line skate having a base carrying a plurality of wheels thereon. An upper is secured to a top surface of the base and defines a heel portion, a toe portion, and diametrically opposed side wall portions. The upper is supported by a support structure that includes a heel cup and a toe cup. The toe cup is secured to the toe portion of the upper and slideably coupled to the base so that the toe cup can slide longitudinally with respect to the base. An actuator is coupled to the toe cup and travels therewith. When the actuator is translated, engagement members on the actuator disengage with detents on the base to allow the toe cup to freely slide between longitudinal positions to adjust the shoe size of the skate.

Abstract: A cambering vehicle includes a front column, left and a right trailing arms each having a front portion pivotally attached to either the front column or a bracket attached thereto by a pivot axle which is preferably inclined relative to the bracket or the front column. A detachable latching device may be used to detachably latch the bracket, if so provided, and thus the trailing arms to the front column at the working position. The bracket and thus the trailing arm may be rotated relative to the front column to the folding position when the detachably latching device releases the bracket relative to the front column. The cambering vehicle may also include a link connect the trailing arms independent of the front column, and a braking mechanism to inhibit forward movement of the cambering vehicle.
