  • Patent number: 4861058
    Abstract: A disassemblable three wheeled, sulky vehicle for the handicapped and others desiring assistance has a steerable front wheel drive unit comprising a steering column mounting assembly with a motor driven wheel. A sulky frame assembly supports a pair of transversely spaced apart rear wheels in tricycle formation with said front wheel and a coupling assembly detachably secures the front wheel drive unit and sulky frame assembly. A seat structure is mounted on the upper end of said frame assembly which comprises a bottom frame member which has a pair of upwardly extending, relatively foldable frames for supporting said seat structure.

  • Patent number: 4757868
    Abstract: A demountable sulky, which may be readily coupled and uncoupled to a steerable, motor-driven front wheel assembly, incorporates a T-bar which is disengageably latched at its front end to the front wheel assembly and disengageably latched to separate wheel supporting frames at its rear ends. The wheel frames demountably support a seat and are held in rigidly spaced apart position in a safe and secure manner by a unique demountable brace system which also is used as a spoke system holding demountable wheel segments in assembled relation.

  • Patent number: 4708219
    Abstract: A demountable sulky, which may be readily coupled and uncoupled to a steerable, motor-driven front wheel assembly, incorporates a T-bar having hoe-like blades provided on each of its ends, which are received in scabbards provided on the drive wheel assembly, and each of a pair of rear wheel frames. Latching mechanisms are provided to releasably, rigidly lock the hoe-like blades in position. Further, a releasable brace or rung bar component is used to auxiliarly, detachably lock the rear ends of the rear side wheel frames in rigidly spaced apart position in a safe and secure manner.
