Abstract
A manipulation cart system for manipulating a tool described herein includes a chassis subsystem, a locomotion subsystem, at least one manipulation subsystem, at least one attachment subsystem, and at least one control subsystem. The locomotion subsystem may include a turn pivot. The at least one manipulation subsystem may include at least one tilting subsystem. Preferably the cart system at least partially relieves the physical demands of manipulating the tool and at least partially protects from stress-induced injuries associated with manipulating the tool.
Claims31
A manipulation cart system for manipulating a tool, said cart system comprising:
- (a) a chassis subsystem;
- (b) a locomotion subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said locomotion subsystem including a turn pivot about which said cart system can pivot, said turn pivot including a turn pivot shaft and a turn pivot grip, said turn pivot shaft rotatable in relation to said turn pivot grip;
- (c) at least one manipulation subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said at least one manipulation subsystem for manipulating said tool;
- (d) at least one attachment subsystem for attaching said tool to said chassis subsystem;
- and
- (e) at least one control subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said at least one control subsystem for actuating said at least one manipulation subsystem;
- (f) wherein said cart system at least partially relieves physical demands of manipulating said tool and at least partially protects from stress-induced injuries associated with manipulating said tool.
A manipulation cart system for manipulating a tool, said cart system comprising:
- (a) a chassis subsystem;
- (b) a locomotion subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said locomotion subsystem including a turn pivot about which said cart system can pivot, said turn pivot being raisable and lowerable;
- (c) at least one manipulation subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said at least one manipulation subsystem for manipulating said tool;
- (d) at least one attachment subsystem for attaching said tool to said chassis subsystem;
- and
- (e) at least one control subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said at least one control subsystem for actuating said at least one manipulation subsystem;
- (f) wherein said cart system at least partially relieves physical demands of manipulating said tool and at least partially protects from stress-induced injuries associated with manipulating said tool.
A manipulation cart system for manipulating a tool, said cart system comprising:
- (a) a chassis subsystem;
- (b) a locomotion subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said locomotion subsystem including a turn pivot, said turn pivot being raisable and lowerable, wherein when said turn pivot is lowered it provides a pivot point about which said cart system can pivot such that said tool moves in an arc defined by a radius defined by said turn pivot and said tool;
- (c) at least one manipulation subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said at least one manipulation subsystem for manipulating said tool;
- (d) at least one attachment subsystem for attaching said tool to said chassis subsystem;
- and
- (e) at least one control subsystem associated with said chassis subsystem, said at least one control subsystem for actuating said at least one manipulation subsystem;
- (f) wherein said cart system at least partially relieves physical demands of manipulating said tool and at least partially protects from stress-induced injuries associated with manipulating said tool.
