Patent number: 10806648Abstract: A ramp assembly for use to accommodate a wheel-chaired passenger to enter or exit a motorized vehicle includes a ramp body having a length defined along a longitudinal direction, a first side rail pivotably coupled to the ramp body, a second side rail pivotably coupled to the ramp body, and a hinge plate pivotably coupled to the ramp body. The ramp assembly further includes a first arm and a second arm coupled to a bottom surface of the ramp body. The first side rail and second side rail are pivotably moved between a folded position in which the first and second side rails pivot inwardly and a raised position in which the side rails are oriented perpendicular to the ramp body. The first arm operably pivots the first side rail between its folded and raised position, and the second arm operably pivots the second side rail between its folded and raised position.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2019Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: THE BRAUN CORPORATIONInventors: Greg Perkins, Michael Laird, Eric Kitchel

Patent number: 9605465Abstract: A door assembly for a motorized vehicle includes a door configured to move between an open position and a closed position, a first member defining a first axis, and a first support member pivotally coupled to the door and defining a second axis. A linkage assembly includes a first arm and a second arm. The first arm and the second arm are pivotally coupled to one another, where the first arm is coupled to the first member at a location offset from the first axis and the second arm defines a first slot. A cross member has a first end and a second end. The first end has a first pin for slideably engaging the first slot and the second end being coupled to the first member. The door is movable between the open and closed positions as the first member pivots about the first axis.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2015Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: The Braun CorporationInventors: Adam Wojdyla, Sajed Dosenbach, Michael R. Pugh, Christopher Wegner, Greg Perkins

Patent number: 7288857Abstract: A self-latching power supply apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an activation transistor in electrical communication with an input voltage source and a battery-switching transistor. Voltage detection circuitry may be intermediate the input voltage source and the activation transistor. An input port may be intermediate and operably connected to the input voltage source and the activation transistor. The activation transistor is in electrical communication with a battery-switching transistor. The battery-switching transistor is connected to a battery and a power supply node for an electric device. The activation transistor may be configured to activate the battery-switching transistor, enabling voltage from the battery to be available at the power supply node for the electric device. A deactivation transistor is in communication with the battery-switching transistor, and is configured to disrupt power flow from the battery.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2005Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: IntelliServ, Inc.Inventors: David B.
