摘要: A propulsion system for a manual wheelchair includes a mounting clamp and a propulsion drive unit having a drive wheel assembly and a support suspension. The support suspension is configured to provide linear movement of the drive wheel and drive hub assembly relative to the manual wheelchair. The support suspension includes a linear bearing and slide member assembly having at least one linear bearing and a slide member for accommodating the linear movement of the drive wheel assembly and further includes a resilient suspension member that provides a tractive effort force to the drive wheel. The drive wheel assembly is supported on a carriage that is attached to one of the at least one linear bearing or the slide member and a mounting block is attached to the other. The mounting block has a clamp interface with a locating tab that engages a corresponding mounting slot in the mounting clamp.

摘要: A motorized accessory for a wheelchair includes a housing having a top end and a bottom end, a handlebar assembly secured to the top end of the housing, and a wheel assembly coupled to the lower end of the housing. The motorized accessory also includes an electric motor coupled to the wheel assembly that is configured to drive the wheel assembly. In addition, the motorized accessory includes a tow bar assembly having a proximal end coupled to the housing and extending outward to a free distal end, where the free distal end is configured to be removably coupled to the wheelchair. The motorized accessory is configured to latch to the manually driven wheelchair in order to convert the manually driven wheelchair into a motorized wheelchair.

摘要: A mounting bracket includes a first plate defining a first mounting hole, a second mounting hole vertically aligned with the first mounting hole, and a first axle hole laterally offset from the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. A support frame defines a second axle hole aligned with the first axle hole. The first axle hole in first frame and the second axle hole in the support frame define an axle guide.

摘要: Disclosed herein is a portable and attachable power-assisting wheelchair device for non-electrically powered wheelchairs. The power assisting device includes a first motor mechanically coupled to a first rotatable end via a first shaft. A first driver is electrically coupled to the first motor and is configured to control a velocity of the first motor. A second motor is mechanically coupled to a second rotatable end via a second shaft. A second driver is electrically coupled to the second motor, and is configured to control a velocity of the second motor. Fillers are disposed between the rotatable ends and the flexible rings. A controller sends control signals to the first driver and the second driver. The control signals include information representing a first torque, a second torque, and rotational velocities for the first rotatable end and the second rotatable end.

摘要: An auxiliary drive device for a wheelchair has at least one freely pivotable electrically driven drive wheel and a coupling mechanism for coupling the auxiliary drive device to the wheelchair. The coupling mechanism includes a movable locking element which is movably supported in the coupling mechanism. The movable locking element can be in a locking position in which it causes locking in a positive-locking manner so that the auxiliary drive device is coupled to the wheelchair and, by operation of a handle, the locking element can be moved in a release position in which uncoupling of the auxiliary drive device from the wheelchair is possible.

摘要: An auxiliary drive device for a wheelchair has at least one electrically driven drive wheel and a coupling mechanism for coupling the auxiliary drive device to the wheelchair. The electrically driven drive wheel is supported at a steering shaft and freely pivotable with respect to the auxiliary drive device. The steering shaft is arranged such that, when the auxiliary drive device is coupled at a wheelchair ready to be operated, a castor is provided for the electrically driven drive wheel.
