Abstract: A multi-wheel caster apparatus has a main, surface-contacting wheel, an inline small diameter wheel elevated in front of the main riding wheel, and a third offset mid-sized diameter wheel. The offset wheel is in parallel alignment with and mounted midway between the two inline wheels. The apparatus is mounted to the bottom of a cart, with both stationary and swivel mounting. The offset wheel keeps the wheel housing compact and the elevated wheels maintain a low center of gravity while traveling easily over obstacles.

Abstract: A towing device comprising a power-assisted spider wheel assembly for ascending and descending stairwells is capable of avoiding unintentional back turning hazards that may result while descending shallower stairwells by applying torque alternatively in the climb-down and climb-up direction to the spider assembly responsive to the angle formed between the spider assembly and lower stair riser. This ensures that the unit will not suddenly fall to a lower tread, which results if the lower-leaning wheel is not first pinned against the lower inside riser and rolls forward instead. The torque exerting means may also lock said spider assembly in a fixed arbitrary orientation during ascent and descent to allow the spider assembly to achieve a safe orientation before stopping mid-stairwell increasing safety.

Abstract: A collapseable spider wheel assembly on a towing device enables storage of the device into a standard rectangular space. Once collapsed, the collapsible spider assembly is protected within the body of the towing device. Furthermore, actuation of the folding and unfolding may be accomplished through the usual telescoping of the carrying handle of such a device, such as in a suitcase embodiment. While the spider wheels are in the open position, the carrying apparatus may exert a drive force to climb up stairs and braking force to descend stairs. The unit operates as a normal wheeled carrying apparatus while traversing a horizontal surface.

Abstract: A multi-wheel hub assembly comprises a central hub and at least three wheels rotatably attached to the central hub. The central hub is configured for being rotatably attached to a support assembly. The central hub includes a mounting structure defining a rotational axis about which the central hub is rotatable when attached to a mounting member of the frame assembly. Each one of the wheels is approximately a common radial distance from the rotational axis of the central hub. Each one of the wheels is approximately evenly spaced with respect to each adjacent one of the wheels. A rotational axis of each one of the wheels extends generally parallel with the rotational axis of the central hub.

Abstract: A walker includes a frame with downwardly extending front and rear legs. An obstacle traversing wheel assembly is disposed at the lower end of each front leg, and a wheel having a brake that is engaged by a downward force on the walker frame is disposed at the lower end of each rear leg. The obstacle traversing wheel assembly is arranged with a primary wheel that is rotatable about a central axis. At least four secondary wheels of equal diameter, but smaller than the primary wheel, are arranged at fixed locations around the circumference of the primary wheel. The secondary wheels are arranged to freely rotate independently of each other and of the primary wheel.

Abstract: A portable load transporting dolly having a mechanism manually operable for selectively ascending or descending steps is shown. The dolly has generally cross-shaped wheels and a pivotal driving lever is located at its handle. A cable couples the pivotal driving lever to the rotating shaft of the cross-shaped wheels through a plurality of pulleys and ratchet gears such that the wheels may be rotated easily by gripping the lever. The radial arms of the cross-shaped wheels have sliding reciprocative rods which react with the steps of the staircase to enhance the climbing action of the dolly on the staircase.

Abstract: A wheelchair having apparatus mounted thereon which, when placed in stair-climbing position, enables an occupant of the wheelchair to turn the large wheels of the wheelchair in a reverse direction, thereby causing a plurality of sprockets and chains mounted thereon to climb a stairway. The occupant places the apparatus in stair-climbing position by utilizing a hand air or other fluid pump mounted on the frame of the wheelchair to pump fluid into actuating fluid cylinders, thereby causing the pistons and associated piston rods of the fluid cylinders to extend and to place the apparatus in the climbing position. In this position the occupant may also cause the wheelchair to descend a stairway. By reversing a valve, the occupant may pump fluid into the cylinders to place the climbing apparatus in the stowed-away position, in which position the wheelchair may be used as a normal wheelchair.
