Abstract: An attachment for affixing hand operated side wheels to a scooter board is described. The attachment has a frame, preferably made from a metal strap with upturned ends. The ends are sufficiently spaced to accommodate a scooter board placed between them. Each end has a short axle on which a wheel is mounted. The wheels have an outwardly oriented offset handle acting as a crank to propel the attachment when combined with a scooter board. A washer and bolt passing through the center hole of the scooter board is sufficient to mount the attachment. Slotted indexing blocks attached to the frame engage reinforcing ribs on the underside of the scooter board to prevent rotation of the attachment.

Abstract: An electric vehicle having a steering assembly, a front wheel assembly, and an electric drive assembly. The steering assembly includes a rotatably mounted steering shaft and a steering hand mounted at an upper end of the steering shaft. The front wheel assembly includes a base member attached to a lower end of the steering shaft, a pair of front wheels, and a transmission operatively associated with the front wheels and configured for propelling the vehicle by driving the pair of front wheels when the steering shaft is rotated in an oscillating manner. The electric drive assembly includes a driving disc connected to an output shaft of an electric motor, a driven disc coaxially mounted on the steering shaft, and a driving arm having a first end rotatably connected to the driving disc and a second end rotatably connected to the driven disc for converting rotary movement of the driving disc to oscillating movement of the driven disc. A locking member selectively connects the driving arm to the driven disc.

Abstract: A playcart movable with hands has two wheel supports each has a side wheel fitted onto it. The wheel supports are each connected to a connecting plate with two pins. The connecting plates are each connected to one of two bent ends of a front support member, and can be relocated on the front support member to change a width of the playcart for users of various bodily sizes. A main support member connected with a seat member is separably secured to the front member; the seat member can be relocated on the main support to change a length of the playcart. The wheel supports each can be pivoted inwards to fold the playcart for easy storage when one of the pins is removed.

Abstract: A walker which allows walking under the user's own power, in which the overall height of the walker is greater than the height of the user's body, the user is lifted to his feet and held in a standing position by an extremely easy-to-use parachute harness when the user's body is suspended from a point above the user's head, and the height of the parachute harness is freely adjusted by the suspension device, so that the user can walk by causing his foot to contact the ground with an appropriate pressure.

Abstract: This is a hand-propelled wheeled device for a rider. The device includes: a frame with two sides; a first and second drive wheel rotatably mounted to the two sides; a first hand crank connected to the first drive wheel through a first crank hub, and a first wheel hub that is connected to and rotates the first drive wheel; a second hand crank connected to the second drive wheel through a second crank hub, and a second ratcheting hub that is connected to and rotates the second drive wheel; at least one shifting mechanism to change a leveraging ratio between the first hand crank and the first drive wheel and between the second hand crank and the second drive wheel; a pivoting backrest connected to the frame, wherein the pivoting backrest provides continuous back support to the rider; an adjustable hammock seat connected to the frame; a third support connected to the frame; and a braking mechanism to retard movement of the first and second drive wheels.

Abstract: A quick release hub assembly having an elongate hollow axle for receiving thereon a captively held rotatable wheel. For attachment and release, the assembly is provided with an insert mechanism, which fits within a tubular opening on a vehicle. The assembly includes an elongate rod threaded at one end and having a pivotable cam member and handle on the other end. A cam follower washer member is positioned on the rod between the handle and the wheel. The insert mechanism includes first and second cone members in facing relation with a split nylon ring in between the two facing cone surfaces. The cone members are received on the rod and are held in place thereon between the wheel and the threaded end by means of a locking nut.

Abstract: A mounting assembly on a hand cycle for the shift and brake handles which includes a collar clamp carried on the end of the front post for detachably connecting with an elongated support member having opposite ends. The clamp member is releasably coupled to the midsection of the support member and the rear-most end of the support member carries a bearing assembly for operably mounting a crank handle with hand pedals. The hand crank further includes sprocket gearing which rotates with the hand crank as the rider turns the hand crank via the hand pedals during a riding procedure.

Abstract: An apparatus for propelling a wheelchair includes a spokeless power ring connected to the wheel chair, and a drive wheel supporting the chair and engaging the floor. The power ring and drive wheel are coupled together in such a way that rotation of the power ring drives the drive wheel proportional to the rotation of the power ring.

Abstract: To produce a wheelchair with high forward-moving efficiency, incorporating a simple structured driving mechanism that is compact enough to be fitted between the wheel and the frame. Thanks to this driving mechanism, the wheelchair moves forward not only when the operation lever is pushed but also when it is pulled. For the less frequent backward movement, the push rim continues to be used. An operation lever 2 is rockably established on each of the left and right sides of the moving direction of frame 1. Each operation lever 2 is provided with a pair of one-way-clutch-driving links 41, 42, in such a way that one ends of these 41, 42, are linked to the operation lever 2 via mutually spaced apart sub pivots 51, 52 at a certain distance forward from said main pivot 3, while the other ends of said links 41, 42 are linked to a pair of forward and backward arms 71, 72, which are established on opposite sides of a hub spindle of a one-way clutch.

Abstract: A wheel chair is provided, including a wheel chair frame including a seat portion, an axle structure and two lateral wheels mounted to the axle structure for rolling the wheel chair over a support surface; and a manual propulsion mechanism including first and second clutches mounted to the wheel axle structure, each of the clutches having an outer clutch drum which engages and rotates an internal clutch core affixed to the wheel axle structure when rotated in one direction and disengages the clutch core and spins freely when rotated in the opposing direction; a lever arm affixed to a lever arm axle rotatably fitted through the frame to a drive cable pulley; a drive cable engagingly wrapped around the drive cable pulley and engagingly around the first clutch drum, and extending from the first clutch drum engagingly around a reversing pulley rotatably mounted on a pulley stem secured to the frame, and from the reversing pulley engagingly around the second clutch drum wound in the opposite direction from its win
