The pedal system includes a moveable pedal tray with a pedal base. The tray includes a first left pedal assembly and a first right pedal assembly, and an upper tier having a second left pedal assembly and a second right pedal assembly respectively in alignment with and elevated above the first left pedal assembly and the first right pedal assembly. Rollers are rotatable coupled to the moveable pedal tray to allow it roll over a floor. A drive assembly is coupled between the moveable pedal tray and the base. The drive assembly applies a force to the to roll the moveable pedal tray over the floor within the opening of the base.

Apparatuses and methods for the treatment of glaucoma are provided. The instrument uses either cauterization, a laser to ablate, sonic or ultrasonic energy to emulsify, or mechanical cutting of a portion of the trabecular meshwork. The instrument may also be provided with irrigation, aspiration, and a footplate. The footplate is used to enter Schlemm's canal, serves as a guide, and also protects Schlemm's canal.

A trash can assembly has a shell having an enclosing wall that defines a periphery. The assembly has a lid fitted over the top of the shell, and a foot pedal positioned adjacent the bottom of the shell, with a portion of the foot pedal positioned inside the periphery of the shell. The assembly also includes a link assembly coupling the foot pedal and the lid. The assembly can also include a liner defining a container body, the liner fitted inside the shell and having an indent provided on the container body. A handle mechanism has a link strip that has a hooked end, with the hooked end engaging the indent to lift the liner from inside the shell.

A retractable running board assembly is mounted to the frame of a vehicle. The running board is selectively extendable between a retracted position, which is close to the vehicle's frame, and a lower, laterally-outward extended position that facilitates easy entrance into and exit from the vehicle. A plurality of longitudinally spaced, selectively-actuated links connect the running board to the frame. A selectively-operable driving mechanism concertedly actuates each of the links to extend and retract the running board. When the driving mechanism is not operated, each link resists actuation and holds the running board in a fixed position relative to the frame.

The invention relates to a hidden turnover ladder. The hidden turnover ladder is characterized by comprising an upper ladder assembly and a lower ladder assembly, wherein the upper ladder assembly comprises a baseplate, and a pair of mounting vertical plates symmetrically arranged on the baseplate; multiple stages of upper antiskid pedals are arranged between the mounting vertical plate; first pin shaft holes are formed in the lower front parts of the mounting vertical plates; the lower ladder assembly comprises a pair of step type mounting side plates; connecting lug plates are arranged at the upper ends of the mounting side plates, and are rotationally connected with the first pin shaft holes through first pin shafts; and multiple stages of lower antiskid pedals are arranged between the mounting side plates. The hidden turnover ladder has the beneficial effects of less occupied space, convenience for use and folding capacity in no use. The invention further discloses oil field operation equipment adopting the turnover ladder; and the oil field operation equipment has the following beneficial effects: second pin shafts are arranged for connecting a car body with the hidden turnover ladder, so that the turnover ladder can be accommodated in a turnover ladder accommodating cavity after two times of overturning, and the effect of convenience for use and transportation is achieved.

A trash can assembly has a shell, a lid fitted over the top end of the shell, a pedal positioned adjacent the bottom end of the shell, a link assembly coupling the pedal and the lid, and a motion damper coupled to the link assembly for slowing the closing motion of the lid. The assembly also includes an inner liner that is retained inside the shell, with a support frame secured to the top end of the shell and having a ridge on which a peripheral lip of the inner liner rests.

A skateboard in accordance includes a footplate (1) having a lower surface, a front wheel and a rear wheel (3) arranged in a front end and a rear end of the lower surface respectively, wherein the wheels are universal, and the footplate includes a front plate (17) and a rear plate (18). The front plate and the rear plate are connected via a rotatable torsional mechanism, and a restriction element (4) is defined between each plate and the torsional mechanism for restricting the rotation range of the torsional mechanism.

A retractable step for use with a vehicle comprises a stepping member having a stepping deck, a first arm, a second arm, a motor and a stop. The first arm has a first end pivotally attached to the vehicle, and a second end pivotally attached to the stepping member. The second arm also has a first end pivotally attached to the vehicle, and a second end pivotally attached to the stepping member. The motor is drivingly connected to the first arm such that a rotation of the motor causes rotation of the first arm about its first end and moves the stepping member from a retracted position to an extended position, or vice versa. The stop is located within the range of motion of the second arm such that the second arm bears against the stop when the stepping member is in the extended position. The first and second arms are situated such that the first arm is loaded in compression and the second arm is loaded in tension when the stepping member is in the extended position and a load is placed upon it. In another embodiment, a retractable vehicle step assist comprises a rigid frame, a forward planar linkage pivotably connected to the frame along a forward upper connection width, and a rearward planar linkage pivotably connected to the frame along a rearward upper connection width. The retractable vehicle step further comprises a rigid step member having a stepping deck. The step member is pivotably connected to the forward planar linkage along a forward lower connection width, and is pivotably connected to the rearward planar linkage along a rearward lower connection width and on a side of the forward planar linkage opposite the stepping deck. The stepping deck is substantially wider than any of the forward upper connection width, the rearward upper connection width, the forward lower connection width, and the rearward lower connection width.

A receptacle having a lid which has a pair of dampers configured to slow the movement of the lid from an open position toward a closed position. The dampers are provided at opposite ends of a pedal connected to the receptacle body at opposite lateral positions relative to a side of the receptacle body. The receptacle includes an air filtration device mounted in its lid which guides air through the filter device during the downward motion of the lid. The receptacle also includes at least one damper which provides dampening forces against the motion of the lid in both opening and closing directions. The receptacle also includes an anti-sliding device which increases the receptacle's resistance to sliding across a floor when a user steps on a pedal to actuate the lid.

A battery quick-release structure for an electric mobility scooter includes a chassis, a battery case, hasps, retainers, connection rods, a handle, and elastic members. The battery case is mounted on the chassis. The retainers are disposed on the chassis. The battery case is provided with the hasps. The hasps are pivotally connected to the connection rods. The connection rods are connected to the handle. Both ends of each elastic member are respectively connected to the hasp and the battery case. The hasps are normally locked to the retainers. The battery case is released for portability by pulling up the handle for the connection rods are to free the hasps from the retainers.
