Abstract

A motorized stroller device for remotely controlling movement of the stroller includes a carriage with a frame and a seat. A pair of rear wheels are rotatably coupled to the frame. Each motor of a pair of electric motors is operatively coupled to a respective rear wheel to selectively rotate the pair of rear wheels. A processor is in communication with the pair of electric motors. A receiver is in communication with the processor. A remote control selectively actuates the pair of electric motors in a first direction, a second direction, and a stationary condition. The remote control includes a directional pad that is selectively positionable to control a direction in which the carriage is being moved. A transceiver sends signals from the remote control to the receiver to selectively actuate the pair of electric motors.

and
a left rear wheel being positioned on a left side of the frame, the left side of the frame being configured to be positioned adjacent to a left side of the user while the user is facing the carriage from behind the pair of rear wheels;
a pair of electric motors, each electric motor including a respective drive shaft, the respective drive shaft being operatively coupled to a respective rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels to selectively rotate the respective rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels, the pair of electric motors including:
a right electric motor being operatively coupled to the right rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels;
and
a left electric motor being operatively coupled to the left rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels;
a processor being in communication with the pair of electric motors wherein actuation of the processor actuates at least one electric motor of the pair of electric motors;
a receiver being electrically coupled to the processor wherein the receiver receives wireless signals for actuating the processor;
a switch being in communication with the receiver, the switch being actuatable to selectively turn the receiver on and off wherein the receiver is inhibited from sending and receiving wireless signals while the receiver is turned off;
a power source being electrically coupled to the processor, the power source being a battery, the battery being rechargeable, the power source being mounted to the frame proximate to the pair of rear wheels of the plurality of wheels;
a charging port being electrically coupled to the power source, the charging port being inset into the power source, the charging port being exposed within the power source;
a remote control being in wireless communication with the receiver to selectively actuate each electric motor of the pair of electric motors in a first direction, a second direction, and a stationary condition, each electric motor of the pair of electric motors rotating the respective rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels in the first direction while each electric motor of the pair of electric motors is actuated in the first direction, each electric motor of the pair of electric motors rotating the respective rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels in the second direction while each electric motor of the pair of electric motors is actuated in the second direction, each electric motor of the pair of electric motors ceasing rotation of the respective rear wheel of the pair of rear wheels while each electric motor of the pair of electric motors is actuated in the stationary condition wherein actuation of both electric motors of the pair of electric motors in the stationary condition stops movement of the carriage, the remote control including:
a housing having a front surface, the housing having a size being configured to facilitate a user in operating the remote control using a single hand;
a directional pad being selectively positionable in a forward direction, a reverse direction, a right direction, a left direction, and a home position to control the direction in which the carriage is being moved, the home position being centered between each of the forward direction, the reverse direction, the right direction, and the left direction, the directional pad being configured to return to the home position when the user is not positioning the directional pad into one of the forward direction, the reverse direction, the right direction, and the left direction, the directional pad being positioned on the front surface of the housing wherein the directional pad is configured to be accessible to the user while the user is holding the housing in the single hand, the directional pad being a joystick being pivotably coupled to the housing;
a transmitter being electrically coupled to the directional pad wherein the transmitter sends wireless signals from the remote control to the receiver to actuate each electric motor of the pair of electric motors in an associated one of the first direction, the second direction, and the stationary condition, the transmitter sending wireless signals to the receiver to actuate both electric motors of the pair of electric motors in the first direction while the directional pad is positioned in the forward direction wherein actuation of both electric motors of the pair of electric motors in the first direction urges the carriage forward relative to the pair of front wheels, the transmitter sending wireless signals to the receiver to actuate both electric motors of the pair of electric motors in the second direction while the directional pad is positioned in the reverse direction wherein actuation of both electric motors of the pair of electric motors in the second direction urges the carriage backward relative to the pair of front wheels, the transmitter sending wireless signals to the receiver to actuate the left electric motor of the pair of electric motors in the first direction and the right electric motor of the pair of electric motors in the stationary condition while the directional pad is pivoted in the right direction wherein actuation of the left electric motor in the first direction and actuation of the right electric motor in the stationary condition turns the carriage toward the right rear wheel, the transmitter sending wireless signals to the receiver to actuate the left electric motor of the pair of electric motors in the stationary condition and the right electric motor of the pair of electric motors in the first direction while the directional pad is pivoted in the left direction wherein actuation of the left electric motor in the stationary condition and actuation of the right electric motor in the first direction turns the carriage toward the left rear wheel, the transmitter sending wireless signals to the receiver to actuate both electric motors of the pair of electric motors in the stationary condition while the directional pad is in the home position;
