Mobility for Delivery - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17834034 titled 'Mobility for Delivery
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a mobility device for delivering articles, which includes a frame, a chain member, a tray member, a wheel, and a driver.
- The frame defines the body of the mobility device.
- The chain member is coupled to one side of the frame and has a closed curve shape along the up-down direction. It is movable relative to the frame and includes a standby section that remains fixed in position regardless of the movement of the chain member. The standby section has multiple bent areas.
- The tray member is coupled to the chain member and moves along with it. It is used to hold and transport articles.
- A wheel is attached to the lower portion of the frame to provide mobility and maneuverability.
- The driver is responsible for providing the driving force to the chain member, enabling the mobility device to move.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Delivery services: The mobility device can be used for efficient and automated delivery of articles, such as packages or groceries.
- Warehouses: The device can assist in the movement of goods within a warehouse, improving efficiency and reducing manual labor.
- Hospitals: It can be utilized for transporting medical supplies or equipment within a hospital setting, enhancing workflow and reducing the strain on staff.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Manual labor reduction: The mobility device eliminates the need for manual carrying or pushing of articles, reducing physical strain on individuals.
- Efficiency improvement: By automating the delivery process, the device can improve the speed and accuracy of article transportation.
- Flexibility: The closed curve shape of the chain member allows for smooth movement in various directions, enabling the device to navigate through tight spaces.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased productivity: The mobility device can handle multiple articles at once, allowing for faster and more efficient delivery.
- Cost savings: By reducing the need for manual labor, businesses can save on labor costs.
- Improved safety: The device reduces the risk of injuries associated with manual lifting and carrying of heavy articles.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment mobility for delivering articles includes a frame defining a body of the mobility, a chain member coupled to a first side of the frame, wherein the chain member has a closed curve shape along an up-down direction, is movable relative to the frame, and includes a standby section provided at a fixed position with respect to the frame irrespective of a movement of the chain member, wherein the standby section includes a plurality of bent areas, a tray member having a first side coupled to the chain member, the tray member being movable in connection with a movement of the chain member, a wheel coupled to a lower portion of the frame, and a driver configured to provide a driving force to the chain member.
