Mobility Vehicle Platform - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17839854 titled 'Mobility Vehicle Platform
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a mobility vehicle platform that consists of a body part and a detachable wheel part. The wheel part includes a steering member, a wheel member, and a coupling member. The body part is designed to receive a cabin and has a protruding member to which the coupling member is attached.
- The mobility vehicle platform includes a detachable wheel part with a steering member, wheel member, and coupling member.
- The body part of the platform is open on the upper side to accommodate a cabin.
- The wheel part is detachably connected to the body part.
- The steering member is rotatable and connected to the wheel member.
- The coupling member is inserted into the steering member and mounted to the body part.
- The body part has a protruding member that extends outward and is coupled to the coupling member.
- The coupling member has a first coupling part that extends upwards and a second coupling part that extends towards the body part.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Personal mobility vehicles for individuals with mobility impairments.
- Delivery vehicles for urban areas with limited parking space.
- Industrial vehicles for transporting goods within warehouses or factories.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Easy detachment and attachment of the wheel part allows for convenient maintenance and repair.
- The open body part design provides flexibility in cabin installation and customization.
- The rotatable steering member allows for smooth maneuverability and control.
Benefits of this technology:
- Versatile and customizable platform for various mobility vehicle applications.
- Simplified maintenance and repair process due to detachable wheel part.
- Improved maneuverability and control with the rotatable steering member.
Original Abstract Submitted
In an embodiment a mobility vehicle platform includes a body part open toward an upper side and configured to receive a cabin at the upper side and a wheel part detachably connected to the body part, wherein the wheel part includes a steering member rotatable about an axis extending in an upward/downward direction, a wheel member connected to the steering member and configured to contact a ground surface, and a coupling member, into which the steering member is inserted, and detachably mounted to the body part, wherein the body part includes a body member configured to receive the cabin at an upper side thereof, and a protruding member coupled to the body member to protrude toward an outside of the body member, and to which the coupling member is coupled, and wherein the coupling member includes a first coupling part extending upwards and a second coupling part extending from an upper end of the first coupling part toward the body part.
