Abstract

This invention consists of a propulsion system for cart type vehicles, or carts (1), whereby a self-balancing scooter, or hoverboard (2), is attached at its rear by means of an articulated structure comprising two control arms (31, 32), such that the hoverboard (2), in addition to pushing and controlling the speed, is also a means of transport for the driver, who operates by making a natural use of the cart's handlebar, since it is not necessary to have the ability that the natural use of the hoverboard (2) requires, because both control arms (31, 32), in addition to providing stability, being connected to the hoverboard (2) by articulated joints (1231, 1232) located above each corresponding foot placement platform (201, 202) and pointing to the rotation center of the cart (1) when the cart (1) is stationary, control the direction of the hoverboard (2).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 31 December 2019 (31.12.2019)
[Claim 1] [Amended] Propulsion system for cart type vehicles, hereinafter
referred to as carts (1), by means of a self-balancing scooter, hereinafter referred to as hoverboard (2), which is a transport means for the driver, such that the hoverboard (2) is attachable to the rear of a cart (1) by means of an articulated structure for propelling and speed control; the propulsion system, when attached to the cart (1), comprising:
- two control arms (31, 32);
- one or more anchor points (11) incorporated in the chassis of said cart
(i);
- two bindings (21, 22) on both sides of the hoverboard, each one becoming integral with one of the two foot placement platforms (201, 202) comprising the hoverboard (2);
wherein:
- each of the bindings (21, 22) has at least one connecting point (211, 221) located above the foot placement area of the corresponding platform (201, 202) of the hoverboard (2);
- each of the control arms (31, 32) is provided with at least one first connecting element (311, 321) at one of its ends, and, at its other end, with at least one second connecting element (312, 322);
- each control arm (31, 32) is connected to its corresponding binding (21, 22) through a first articulated joint (1231, 1232) where a connecting point (211, 221) is joined to a first connecting element (311, 321);
- each control arm (31, 32) is connected to the cart (1) through a second articulated joint (2131, 2132) connecting one of said anchor points (11) with a second connecting element (312, 322);
characterized by:
- that both first articulated joints (1231, 1232) are located above the foot placement area of their corresponding platforms (201, 202) of the hoverboard (2), and
- that both second articulated joints (2131, 2132), which may coincide in a single anchor point (11), are located sufficiently centered with respect to the wheels of the cart such that both control arms (31, 32) ge ometrically converge from each side of the hoverboard (2) in the direction to the cart (1).
[Claim 2] The propulsion system for carts according to claim 1, wherein both control arms (31, 32) converge pointing approximately towards the rotation center of the cart (1) when the cart (1) is stationary.
[Claim 3] [Amended] The propulsion system for carts according to claim 2,
wherein said anchor points (11) are comprised in a transverse arm (10) that can be attached to the chassis of any cart (1), and wherein said transverse arm (10) includes multiple anchor points (11) to enable attaching the hoverboard (2) such that both second articulated joints (2131, 2132), which can coincide in a single anchor point (11), are located sufficiently centered with respect to the wheels of the cart (1) such that both control arms (31, 32) can always converge, pointing in the appropriate direction of the specific cart (1) on which the propulsion system will be used.
[Claim 4] The propulsion system for carts according to claim 3, wherein said transverse arm (10) can rotate on its longitudinal axis, such that both control arms (31, 32) can move upwards and downwards.
[Claim 5] [Cancelled]
[Claim 6] [Amended] A hoverboard (2) arranged to be part of a propulsion
system for carts according to claim 1, wherein each of the two foot placement platforms (201, 202) includes at least one connecting point (211, 221) located above the foot placement area and near the corre sponding end of the hoverboard (2), in order to attach a control arm (31,32) by means of a corresponding first articulated joint (1231, 1232) for pushing a cart (1), characterized in that it is provided with at least one electric connector for external batteries.
[Claim 7] [Amended] Hoverboard (2) according to claim 6, characterized in that it is not provided with internal batteries therefore improving its safety, price and weight as a product for pushing a cart.
[Claim 8] A cart type vehicle (1) arranged to include a propulsion system for carts according to claim 1, comprising anchor points (11) to form either two articulated joints (2131, 2132) or a double articulated joint, connected to two control arms (31,32) to attach a self-balancing scooter (2), being said anchor points (11) sufficiently centered such that both control arms (31,32) converge geometrically from both sides of the hoverboard (2) pointing to the rotation center of the cart (1) when the cart (1) is stationary.
