  • Patent number: 9216120
    Abstract: The manual shopping chair includes a frame supported by a left rear wheel, a right rear wheel, a left front caster wheel and a right front caster wheel. A wheel lock disk with a plurality of radially extending slots is connected to each rear wheel. Springs urge lock bars toward the slots to lock both wheels. The lock bars are manually held out of the slots during movement. A mast is clamped to the frame front. A pair of basket support tubes are pivotally attached to the mast by a shaft in vertical slots. A basket is clamped to basket tubes. The basket is pivotable from a storage position to an upright position. Hooks hold the support tubes in an upright position. The mast top edge is lower than a seat mounted on the frame for nesting multiple shopping units.

  • Patent number: 8776932
    Abstract: The foldable electric cart has a frame supported by two rear wheels and a steerable and motor driven front wheel. A seat is mounted on the rear portion of the frame. The seat is supported by left and right rear arms and left and right front arms. The arms pivot the seat between a horizontal use position above the rear wheels and horizontal folded position on a foot support plate. A seat back rest is pivoted relative to the seat between an upright position and a horizontal position. A yoke, holding a hub motor and driven wheel, is fixed to a steering tube journaled in a housing. The housing is pivotable about a transverse horizontal axle. A steering handle base and handle is clamped to the steering tube. The housing pivots from an upright position to a storage position with steering handles to the rear of the folded horizontal seat.

  • Patent number: 7841436
    Abstract: The driven front wheel drive assembly includes a drive assembly with a drive frame. The drive frame has a vertical plate that pivots about a steering axis. A gear case with a plate portion and a skirt is clamped to the vertical plate to form a sealed gear case. A helical pinion gear is on a driven motor shaft. A compound gear with a helical gear is in mesh with the helical pinion gear. A first drive pinion gear fixed to the helical pinion gear is in mesh with the first spur gear. A second spur gear is fixed to the drive axle shaft and in mesh with first drive pinion gear. All of the gears are in the gear case rotate about parallel axes. The helical pinion gear and the first drive pinion gear have small pitch diameters to increase torque. The driven axle drives a wheel.

  • Patent number: 6273206
    Abstract: A motor driven demountable chair vehicle has a frame supported on front and rear wheels. A steering column is mounted on the front end of the frame and a seat is supported rearwardly thereof. The frame has discrete front and rear segments incorporating a longitudinally telescopic coupling assembly comprising a longitudinal telescoping part on one of the segments received by a receiving part on the other segment, and a latch assembly connected with one of the parts and automatically interacting with the other upon relative telescoping movement of the parts latches them in locked position.
