Abstract: A knee scooter having pivotable handle bars, a U-shaped frame with a wide rear axle and an adjustable knee support for use by injured or disabled users. The wide rear axle of the U-shaped frame can be laterally moved to accommodate either an injury to a right or left leg. The scooter is steered by turning a pair of front wheels and hand brakes are positioned on the handle bars to manually stop the scooter as needed. The steering or turning of the front wheels is limited to about 60° rotation for safety purposes. The method of use includes securing the handle bars in an upright position, adjusting the steering column height, adjusting the knee support height and moving the rear axle laterally to accommodate supporting either a right or left leg as needed as the other leg is used to propel the scooter.

Abstract: An apparatus for raising one end of a bed which comprises the placement of elevator blocks under the support legs of one end of a conventional bed. The elevator block comprises top and bottom ends that are non-parallel planar surfaces. The planar surface of the top end is inclined to allow for proper mating of the top end of the elevator block with a bed leg in the bed's raised position. Provision is also made for a removable insert in a cavity of the top end of the elevator block, so that bed legs can sit either within the cavity for increased stability or upon the top of the insert, depending upon the size of the bed leg. The use of slip-resistant materials on the surfaces contacting either the floor or bed leg also add to the stability of the bed in the raised position.
