    摘要: A two wheel tandem vehicle is propelled by hand-grasped poles. A front wheel on a forward member and a rear wheel on a rearward member align along a longitudinal axis. The forward member pivots about a substantially vertical steering axis. A saddle and footholds support the rider and together with an accessory contact means allow the rider to balance and steer the device. The rider's hands do not contact the vehicle but are used to propel the vehicle with the poles.

    摘要: A mini standing hand powered tricycle for sidewalks, indoor large surfaces, etc. conceived for users, with weak legs and strong arms that get tired walking. The tricycle is propulse by a conventional bicycle hand pedal sprocket wheel and chain to allow driving, steering, and braking by the user in a standing position.

    摘要: Because sidewalks are slanted for rain run-off, they pose a safety risk for baby strollers if the person pushing the stroller stops and doesn't apply the brake. If s/he releases the stroller's handle when the brake is not applied, the stroller may veer off towards the curb owing to gravity, wind, the baby's movements, traffic vibrations, etc. Not applying the brake when stopped is a common mistake. While parents may remember to apply the brake when stopped, other caregivers may not. Applicant's improvement provides fully automatic slip-clutch joining means to inhibit veering off by automatically coupling the stroller's rear wheels together when the stroller is stopped. When coupled, the rear wheels must rotate in unison thus helping to prevent the stroller from veering-off toward the curb. When the stroller is being pushed the slip clutch handily becomes disengaged by turning or making other course adjustments.

    摘要翻译: 因为人行道倾斜为雨水径流,如果推婴儿车的人停止并且不施加刹车,则婴儿车会安全隐患。 如果不使用制动器,他/他会释放婴儿车的手柄,婴儿车可能由于重力,风,婴儿的动作,交通振动等而向路边转弯。停车时不应用制动器是一个常见的错误。 虽然父母可能会记得在停车时应用制动器,但其他照顾者也许不会。 申请人的改进提供了全自动的滑动离合器接合装置,以在婴儿车停止时通过将婴儿车的后轮自动地联接在一起来抑制旋转。 当联接时,后轮必须一致地旋转,从而有助于防止婴儿车向路边转向。 当婴儿推车被推动时,滑动离合器通过转动或进行其他过程调整而轻松脱离。

    摘要: The invention relates to a drive unit for a muscle-powered vehicle having a crankshaft mounted in a crankcase or in a frame. At least one crank for transferring the muscle power of a driver to a drive wheel of the vehicle is fastened to the crankshaft. A gear unit is provided, which is arranged in the power train from the crankshaft to a driven gear of the gear unit coupled to the drive wheel of the vehicle. According to the invention, a substantially stationary part of the gear unit for determining a total torque of the crankshaft is supported on the crankcase or on the frame.

    摘要: A human-propulsion-system utilizing a telescoping arm lever assembly and an optional pedal assembly to be adapted to or incorporated into other mechanisms including, but not limited to, wheelchairs and vehicles. The arm lever assembly and the pedal assembly can be utilized in combination or independently further being operatively connected to a converter that utilizes gears and one-way clutches to receive the reciprocal movements of the arm lever assembly and the rotational movements of the pedal assembly converting them into a combined unidirectional output. The arm lever assembly utilizes a slide mechanism that correspondingly moves the load end closer to the fulcrum point when the arm lever assembly is extended and correspondingly moves the load end farther away from the fulcrum point when the arm lever assembly is retracted offering a range of adjustable leverages. The arm lever assembly is further rotated left or right to provide a means of (steering) control.
