  • Patent number: 8567863
    Abstract: A back support is pivotally oriented to locate a pivot point relative to posterior superior iliac spines of a seated user, such that when an upper portion of the back support contacts the upper torso of the user and moves to a desired angular orientation to balance the upper torso over the pelvic area, the back support transfers support to the posterior superior iliac spines to maintain the pelvic skeletal structure in alignment. A lower portion of the back support angularly contacts, supports and confines gluteal and buttocks tissue of the user independently of the degree of pivotal orientation of the upper portion.

  • Publication number: 20070063502
    Abstract: A personal mobility vehicle includes a frame, two or more ground engaging rear wheels connected to the frame and configured to support the frame, and a single ground engaging front wheel connected to the frame and configured to steer the personal mobility vehicle. A drive motor is connected to either the front wheel or the rear wheels, the drive motor being configured to drive the scooter. A steering mechanism is connected to the front wheel and includes a user actuated steering member, the steering mechanism being configured to provide a variable steering ratio, wherein the ratio of the angle of the user actuated steering member from an initial position to the angle of the front wheel from an initial position varies as the user actuated steering member is turned.

  • Publication number: 20070045022
    Abstract: A personal mobility vehicle has a frame, a ground engaging front wheel connected to the frame and configured to simultaneously drive and steer the personal mobility vehicle, a drive motor connected to the front wheel and configured to drive the front wheel, a steering mechanism connected to the front wheel and configured to steer the front wheel, and a rear suspension including two or more ground engaging rear wheels mounted to support the frame. One or more rear anti-tip wheels are mounted to support the frame. A mechanism for distributing some of the weight of the vehicle away from the rear wheels and onto the rear anti-tip wheels is provided, thereby retarding the unloading of weight from the front wheel.

  • Publication number: 20070039766
    Abstract: A wheelchair includes a frame, and a front pivot arm pivotally mounted to the frame at a front pivot point, the front pivot arm having a caster for supporting the frame. A rear pivot arm is pivotally mounted to the frame at a rear pivot point, the rear pivot arm having a caster for supporting the frame. A ground engaging mid-wheel drive wheel is connected to the frame. A linkage connects the front and rear pivot arms to each other in a manner such that an upward or downward rotation of one of the pivot arms about its pivot point causes rotation of the other pivot arm about its pivot point in an opposite rotational direction.

  • Publication number: 20060091706
    Abstract: A seat assembly can be mounted on various wheelchair bases. The seat assembly enables the seat width and backrest width to be adjusted independently of each other. A backrest has a plurality of open slots, the number and orientation of which contributes to depth, width, and height adjustment of the backrest as well as angular adjustment of lateral supports to permit the backrest to conform to the anatomical curves of a user. A backrest foam assembly comprises multiple foam sections that are adapted to be positioned relative to each other and thereby vary the overall width of the assembly. A cover comprises multiple sections, each covering a foam section. A multi-position adjustable armrest assembly combines large-scale and small-scale adjustments, which provides a broad range of adjustment for the armrest and its position. A power recline mechanism with programmable shear reduction includes a dual rotary recline mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20050144834
    Abstract: Mixed alcohol formulas can be used as a fuel additive in gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, aviation gasoline, heating oil, bunker oil, coal, petroleum coke or as a neat fuel in and of itself. The mixed alcohols formulations can contain C1-C5 alcohols, or in the alternative, C1-C8 alcohols or higher C1-C10 alcohols in order to boost energy content. The C1-C5 mixed alcohols contain more ethanol than methanol with declining amounts of propanol, butanol and pentanol. C1-C8 mixed alcohols contain the same, with declining amounts of hexanol, heptanol and octanol. C1-C10 mixed alcohols contain the same, with declining amounts of nananol and decanol. Synthetically produced mixed alcohol formulas feature higher octane and energy densities than either MTBE or fermented grain ethanol; more stable Reid Vapor Pressure blending characteristics; and increased soluablizing effects on condensate water. The primary benefits of mixed alcohols are increased combustion efficiencies, reduced emissions profiles and low production costs.
