| Attachments for a manual wheelchair are provided for navigating a wheelchair over obstacles and uneven terrain, such as a typical curb on a street. The attachments provide for regulating the movement of the wheelchair as the wheelchair descends the curb and to prevent the wheelchair from flipping over during such movement. The attachments include a belt support frame, at least two rollers mounted on the belt support frame and a belt mounted around the at least two rollers. The belt support frame is adapted for mounting on the frame of the wheelchair such that as the wheelchair descends from the upper surface to the lower surface, the belt engages an edge of the upper surface and rolls around the at least two rollers slowing a descent of the wheelchair from the upper surface to the lower surface. | ||||||

| 43 | Assistant apparatus for surmounting barrier | US12371038 | 2009-02-13 | US07837201B2 | 2010-11-23 | Pi-Ying Cheng; Kian-Poh Wong |
| The present invention provides an assistant apparatus for surmounting a barrier, which comprises a carrier body, an assistant mechanism, and a sensing/driving apparatus. The assistant mechanism, disposed at a side of the carrier body, having an assistant block disposed at the end thereof, functions to place the assistant block on the ground between the carrier body and the barrier so that the carrier body is capable of surmounting the barrier through the assistance of the assistant block. The sensing/driving apparatus, coupled to the assistant mechanism, functions to drive the assistant mechanism to generate the adjusting movement according to whether the barrier is detected or not. By means of the design of the present invention, the assistant block is adopted to reduce the height surmounted by the carrier each time so that the carrier is capable of surmounting the barrier section by section. | ||||||

| Attachments for a manual wheelchair are provided for navigating a wheelchair over obstacles and uneven terrain, such as a typical curb on a street. The attachments provide for regulating the movement of the wheelchair as the wheelchair descends the curb and to prevent the wheelchair from flipping over during such movement. The attachments include a front caster wheel slider assembly on each side of the wheelchair, a follower wheel assembly and a track belt damping bar. The front caster wheel slider assembly includes a piston that will quickly push the front caster wheels down after they roll over the top edge of the curb. The follower wheel assembly acts a sensor that will release the piston in the assembly after the front caster wheels roll over the top edge of the curb. As the back wheels of the wheelchair roll over and down the curb, the track belt damping bar slows the descent of the wheelchair. | ||||||

| There is provided, in a preferred embodiment, a vehicle for transporting a payload (which may but need not include a human subject) over ground having a surface that may be irregular. This embodiment has a support for supporting the payload. A ground-contacting module, movably attached to the support, serves to suspend the payload in the support over the surface. The orientation of the ground-contacting module defines fore-aft and lateral planes intersecting one another at a vertical. The support and the ground-contacting module are components of an assembly. A motorized drive, mounted to the assembly and coupled to the ground-contacting module, causes locomotion of the assembly and the payload over the surface. A CG modifying arrangement is provided for actively modifying the location of the center of gravity of the assembly. Finally, the embodiment has a CG control loop, in which the CG modifying arrangement is included, for dynamically enhancing stability of the vehicle by operation of the CG modifying means based on at least one of motion or orientation of the vehicle. | ||||||

| 51 | Adaptive mobility system | US239951 | 1994-05-09 | US5513716A | 1996-05-07 | Vijay Kumar; Parris Wellman; Venkat Krovi |
| A wheeled mobility system, such as a wheelchair, having articulated limbs for providing a tractive force between the mobility system and a surface. The articulated limbs provide tractive locomotive forces under abnormal operating conditions wherein wheeled locomotion is inhibited by an obstacle or the like. Controlled drive motors coupled to the articulated limbs and the wheels of the mobility system provide for redundant actuation of the limbs and wheels. The wheeled mobility system is inherently omni-directional, provides superior mobility in difficult terrain or soil conditions, such as sand, clay, gravel and rocks, and further provides for surmounting of obstacles, such as steps, ditches and rocks. The limbs also give the chair versatility and allow it to be re-configured to satisfy the comfort requirements of the user. The limbs can further be used as a manipulator in order to perform tasks such as reaching for objects or pushing open doors. | ||||||

| The present invention relates to a leg type wheelchair and, more particularly, to a leg type wheelchair which can stably move a flatland and a step height area. The leg type wheelchair comprises: a main body which has a seat; a left driving unit which is mounted at the left side of the main body to be able to rotate and where multiple leg units are formed radially centered on a rotation central shaft; and a right driving unit which is mounted at the right side of the main body to be able to rotate and where multiple leg units are formed radially centered on a rotation central shaft. The left driving unit comprises: a first left rotary unit where multiple left leg units are radially formed; a first left driving motor which rotates the first left rotary unit; a second left rotary unit which is placed in between the first left rotary unit and the main body and where multiple second left leg units are radially formed; and a second left driving motor which rotates the second left rotary unit. The right driving unit comprises: a first right rotary unit where multiple right leg units are radially formed; a first right driving motor which rotates the first right rotary unit; a second right rotary unit which is placed in between the first right rotary unit and the main body and where multiple second right leg units are radially formed; and a second right driving motor which rotates the second right rotary unit. The first and second left rotary units are rotated by the first and second left driving motors respectively and independently from each other. The first and second right rotary units are rotated by the first and second right driving motors respectively and independently from each other. | ||||||
| 56 | Moving apparatus based on bearing points created by end of lever arms with changable length | US15564733 | 2016-04-04 | US20180104982A1 | 2018-04-19 | Tam Minh Do |
| The present invention relates to moving apparatus based on bearing points created by ends of lever arms with changeable length. The lever arm comprises two main components: body and end of lever arm. Lever arm body moves spirally or pendulously around the axis which is different from its axis, end of lever arm moves in and out along the lever arm body. The combination of movement of body and end of the lever arm creates bearing points of the apparatus on the terrain, thus creating capability to overcome barricades of the apparatus. Moreover, the combination of these two movements, when following appropriate principles, creates equilibrium for the frame of the apparatus on various terrains. | ||||||

| The present invention relates to a curb climbing system for a wheelchair having a pair of rear larger drive wheels, a pair of small caster wheels, and a static hand grip for a caregiver being located at a back region behind an occupant seat; the system comprises: (1) a rear rollover-climb lever mechanically linked to a pivot to permit the caregiver located at the back-end region of the wheelchair to apply a downwards forceful thrust sufficient to shift the lever from an upward-position to a downward-position; and (2) a mechanical torque engagement system to translate the downwards forceful thrust to a rollover rotation torque around a pivot point on a stair-like curb, to climb over the stair-like curb. During climb procedure, a ratchet system provides unidirectional backwards rotation of the rear wheel pair and prevents forward rotation to block the wheelchair from rolling down the stairs for safety. | ||||||
