Electrically powered transport cart combination for an aircraft cabin
An electrically driven trolley combination for an aircraft cabin with an independently usable, manually movable trolley and an electrical operating apparatus. The trolley has a base section, a main section extending from the base section, and wheels with the trolley supported on a cabin floor by the wheels and manually movable over the cabin floor being pushed or pulled. The electrical operating apparatus can be detachably coupled to the trolley and has a frame, a driveable rolling device on the frame and by which the electrical operating apparatus can be supported on a cabin floor and rolled, a coupling apparatus on the frame for detachably coupling the electrical operating apparatus to the trolley and having an engagement section and a movement section, the engagement section being selectively movable between a first position and a second position by the movement section, an electrical drive device, and a control device.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL MOTORIZED STROLLER
A multifunctional motorized stroller device including a stroller body frame including a motor member, a braking member, a handle member, a canopy member, wheel frame member and a seating member. The motor member provides propulsion to the device. The braking member ceases movement of the device. The handle member having a push button start element to activate the motor and an emergency brake activator element for activating the braking element. The canopy member having at least one cup holder element, a universal serial bus (USB) charging element for charging electronic devices and a solar panel element for providing electricity to the device. The wheel frame member having a plurality of wheel elements, a battery element and at least one pair of fan elements for cooling the device. The seating member having a removable seat cover.
Reducing bearing forces in an electrical machine
A magnetic drive has a prime mover, having a first magnet array on a first surface thereof, and a rotor, having a second magnet array on an outer surface thereof. The outer surface of the rotor is located adjacent to the first surface of the prime mover such that movement of the prime mover causes rotation of the rotor about an axis of rotation. A support member has a shaft for defining the axis of rotation of the rotor, and having a third magnet array, and the third magnet array cooperates with a fourth magnet array on the rotor to form a magnetic bearing to resist forces on the rotor acting along the axis of rotation thereof.
MOTORIZED TRANSPALLET
A transpallet is provided for ground handling of goods stored on a support platform, comprising at least one motorized wheel, an electromechanical parking braking system of the wheel adapted to take on a stop configuration when not energized and a release configuration when energized and an electric power supply assembly adapted to supply electric power to the motorized wheel and to the electromechanical parking braking system. An on-board electronic control unit is arranged for the selective handling of the transpallet movement in a motorized mode of movement, a manual mode of movement or a stop mode, depending on the charge level of the electric power supply assembly.
Transport Cart for Nuclear Medicine/Molecular Imaging Radioisotopes Having Enhanced Safety Features and a Process Implementing the Same
The disclosure relates to a medical imaging supply transport cart having enhanced safety features and a process implementing the same. The medical imaging supply transport cart includes a support surface configured to support medical imaging supplies, the support surface further configured to support a support mechanism, and the support mechanism further configured to support the medical imaging supplies. The support mechanism further configured to rigidly hold the medical imaging supplies with a first holding mechanism, the medical imaging supplies configured to store at least one dose of a nuclear medicine, a plurality of wheels arranged below the support surface, at least one door configured to enclose the medical imaging supplies, and a handle configured to be grasped by a user to guide the medical imaging supply transport cart.
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING ELECTRIC HAND TRUCK AND APPARATUS THEREFOR
A method for controlling the an electric hand truck comprises the steps of: determining whether user manipulation is present due to a user input on the electric hand truck; and, if there is no user manipulation, then braking an electric motor that drives the wheels of the electric moving vehicle in a softlock manner in which, instead of power being applied to the electric motor, electrodes of the electric motor are short-circuited.
Mobile motorized cargo container with selectively deployable control systems
An Urban Intermodal Freight System is capable of transporting large volumes and tonnage of freight by containerized or other means on a mass transit rail system. It captures excess capacity in the existing mass transit rail infrastructure to move packages, parcels, and freight by using miniaturized intermodal cargo containers that are designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing transit infrastructure, while displacing delivery trucks from increasingly crowded city streets. By enabling inbound trucks to transfer their cargo to the Urban Intermodal Freight System at a city's outskirts, freight is delivered without trucks entering congested downtown areas, greatly alleviating traffic congestion, delays, greenhouse gas emissions and other negative environmental impacts. The Linear Loading Dock and Conveyor System may have other useful applications, for example to access a facility, building or vehicle, or in other circumstances where off street truck parking or loading docks are not available.

The support mechanism further configured to rigidly hold the medical imaging supplies with a first holding mechanism, the medical imaging supplies configured to store at least one dose of a nuclear medicine, a plurality of wheels arranged below the support surface, at least one door configured to enclose the medical imaging supplies, and a handle configured to be grasped by a user to guide the medical imaging supply transport cart.
Brake device for caster
An object to provide a brake device for a caster that has a simple structure, provides reliable braking, has no risk of damaging the circumferential surface of a roller, and has high durability. The brake device for a caster includes: a plurality of projecting parts formed concentrically at regular intervals on opposite side-surfaces of a roller in a direction in parallel with the axis, and levers set across the roller at both side-panels of a fork so as to be opposed to the projecting parts, and a claw formed at a tip of each of the levers so as to be opposed to the projecting parts, wherein the levers are operated so that the claw is engaged with a concave part formed between the projecting parts, thereby locking rotation of the roller.
Motorised trolley
Respective electric drive motors (13a, 13b) drive left and right drive wheels (10a, 10b) having friction brakes, including an electromechanical service brake (31a, 31b) and an auxiliary brake (32a, 32b) mechanically biasing them to a braked state. An elongate handlebar (16) for user control is mounted via a pair of force-sensing couplings (17a, 17b) including a resilient member (18) and a load sensor (19) sensing forces applied by a user to the handlebar and transmitting respective load signals. A controller (37) receives the load signals and controls a current applied to the electric drive motors (13a, 13b) so as to amplify the force sensed by the force-sensing couplings and to generate a torque proportional to a force applied by the user to the handlebar and to actuate an electric release actuator of the auxiliary brake (32a, 32b) when the force applied by the user to the handlebar exceeds a threshold.
