  • Publication number: 20090019670
    Abstract: This invention is a castor, including the castor main body, brake system, directional system, release mechanism and a number of positioning elements. One side of the castor main body has a brake system and a directional system, allowing the user to easily carry out braking or release the brakes simply by pressing the brake system or directional system, making the brake flexible platelet move and press against the wheel surface. Also because the fluted disc on the brake system and the brake flexible platelet is combined into one, the fluted disc will, at the same time, move up and engage with the direction change fluted disc, applying the brakes and maintaining direction. By pressing down the directional system the castor can also be set to move in a straight line only.

  • Patent number: 7398990
    Abstract: A hand truck includes a bottom base, a reinforcing member, a positing device and a handle. The bottom base consists of a U-shaped tube and a bottom plate combined vertically with a lower end of the U-shaped tube, which has two elongate side vertical portions provided with a lengthwise center hole. The reinforcing member has two side vertical tubes and two lateral rods fixed between the two side vertical tubes, which fit tightly around an intermediate section of the two side vertical portions of the U-shaped for upgrading the strength of the U-shaped tube. The position device is to stabilize the handle at an adjusted position after moved up and down and adjusted in its height relative to the U-shaped tube.

  • Publication number: 20080106053
    Abstract: A handle-positioning device for a hand truck includes two position bases and a pull rod. The position base is respectively fixed on two vertical cross-shaped tubes combined with an inverted U-shaped handle of a hand truck. Each vertical tube has a position hole aligned to that of each position base. The pull rod has some elasticity, and two bent ends, which fit in the position hole of a washer fixed on each pull rod, that of each position base, that of each vertical tube and further in that of the handle to keep the handle at a certain height. The height of the handle is adjusted by handling the pull rod to let the two bent ends to retreat from only the position hole of the handle and then the handle can be moved up and down then positioned again at that adjusted position or height by handling the pull rod.
