180199000 | WITH POWERED, GROUND-ENGAGING MEANS FOR PRODUCING, OR ASSISTING IN THE PRODUCTION OF, LATERAL MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE (E.G., FOR PARKING) | 6 |
20110083921 | SYSTEMS FOR AND METHODS OF FACILITATING A LATERAL MANEUVER BY A VEHICLE - A system for and method of facilitating or enabling a lateral maneuver by a vehicle, including and utilizing a plurality of selectively engaged low friction components, such as rollers, bearings, balls, or high durometer high abrasion resistant low loss modulus rubber treads, and an actuator, such as at least one inflatable bladder, pivotal support strut, or active material element, drivenly coupled to the components. | 04-14-2011 |
20150014077 | METHOD-SYSTEM OF PARKING A VEHICLE USING ONLY FRONT ROAD COURSE AND PLACEMENT OF THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN A FINAL PARKING POSITION BY AN AUXILIARY MECHANISM - Method-system of parking a vehicle using only front road course and placement of the rear of the vehicle in a final parking position by an auxiliary mechanism. A method-system of parking a vehicle along parking provision, where the only thing that the driver has to do is to place the front of the vehicle, using front road course, both near to the front parked vehicle, as well as to the clay of the pavement. The installation of the rear of the vehicle to the final position for the vehicle's immobilization, occurs by an auxiliary side shift mechanism mounted to the back and lower part of the rear of the vehicle. The auxiliary facility consists of one or more wheels, of a relatively small diameter, and, as for their movement, are vertically installed to the stable wheels of the vehicle. They are also connected to the lower part of a mechanism that can lift enough the vehicle; in order the side shift is capable, when the order is given. The whole system of the wheels and lifting mechanism is placed in operation status through descend or withdrawal, only after giving an order, so not to be exposed when it is not functioning. | 01-15-2015 |
180200000 | Comprising rotatably driven auxiliary wheel or endless track | 4 |
20090236165 | HOME CARE EQUIPMENT SYSTEM - A system for assisting a person of limited mobility in moving from room to room within a home and performing essential daily activities includes a personal mobility device which includes transfer drivers which engage a transfer system to transition from a first elevation to a second elevation. | 09-24-2009 |
20100155165 | PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - A parking assistance system includes front and rear auxiliary wheel assemblies mounted to a chassis of the vehicle and adjacent front and rear wheels of the vehicle. Each of the front and rear auxiliary wheel assemblies includes two auxiliary wheels and an auxiliary motor coupled to the auxiliary wheels for driving the auxiliary wheels to rotate in a forward or backward direction. A plurality of lift devices are mounted between the auxiliary wheels and the chassis and control upward and downward movement of the auxiliary wheels. At least one parking assistance controller is coupled to the auxiliary motors. A control unit is coupled to the at least one parking assistance controller and manually operable to control a rotating direction and speed of the auxiliary motors via the at least one parking assistance controller, controlling a moving distance and direction of the auxiliary wheels in the forward or backward direction. | 06-24-2010 |
20140196969 | ROBOTIC VEHICLE FOR HOLIDAY TESTING OF COATING ON STORAGE TANK BASE PLATES - A robotic holiday testing apparatus for detecting and marking holidays in the protective coating atop a metal base plate of a storage tank, including:

20150353060 | LATERAL MOVEMENT ASSISTANCE APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE - A lateral movement assistance apparatus for a vehicle includes a driving unit and a lifting device. The driving unit includes an extending sleeve, a sleeve holder, a driving shaft, a rotary plate and a driving gear. The lifting device is connected with and driven by the driving unit and includes a fixing plate, two connecting plates, a hydraulic pump, a moveable bar, a transmission unit and a wheel unit. The apparatus can be installed in a shock absorber and a wheel of a vehicle to assist lateral parking on the street and substitutes for a hoisting jack to lift the vehicle up in case of flat tire or when the car is stuck in a hole, etc. | 12-10-2015 |
