A position adjusting system for use in a vehicle includes a seat for supporting a rider, a rear wheel and a steerable front wheel, a steering arrangement including a handlebar for allowing the rider to control the steerable wheel, and a hub for interconnecting the components of the wheeled vehicle. The steerable wheel is steerable about at least two axes. The position adjusting system includes an adjustable seat support movably connected to the hub, an adjustable handlebar support movably connected to the hub, and a releasable position locking system configured to lock the position of the components of the vehicle relative to the hub. The hub includes a first portion and second portion, wherein the first and second portions are moveably connected to one another, such as by pivoting, sliding, orbiting, or a combination thereof. The hub permits adjustment of the angle between the steering axes.

Vehicle and vehicle components

A hybrid pump-action vehicle and therapy device may include a pumping arm attached to a lower pump-action assembly. As the pumping arm is actuated, the lower pump-action assembly moves forward and rearward in response to the pumping action and powers movement of the vehicle. The lower pump-action assembly may be releasably connected to the pump arm so that the pump arm can be disengaged from the pumping action but still be usable for steering. A motor may also be provided to provide assistance or full power to the vehicle based on a user-selectable amount of assistance. And finally, the vehicle may be configured such that it can be collapsed to a fraction of its operating footprint to enable easy transport and storage.

A vehicle includes a main vehicle body, a suspended assembly that supports the main body of the vehicle, a suspension arrangement for connecting the suspended assembly to the main body of the vehicle, and a steering system for steering the suspended assembly. The suspended assembly assisting in providing directional control of the vehicle and stability in a lateral direction relative to a normal straight-ahead direction of travel for the vehicle. The steering system including a first steering arrangement that controls movement of the suspended assembly relative to the main vehicle body such that the suspended assembly pivots about a first steering axis. The steering system further including a second steering arrangement that controls movement of the suspended assembly relative to the main vehicle body such that the suspended assembly pivots about a second steering axis with the second steering axis being different than the first steering axis.

The suspended assembly assists in providing directional control of the vehicle and stability in a lateral direction relative to a normal straight-ahead direction of travel of the vehicle. The suspension system including first and second suspension arrangements that control movement of the suspended assembly relative to the main vehicle body through a range of motion along first and second paths that are primarily perpendicular to the lateral direction. The second path differs from the first path such that the combination of the range of motion of the first suspension arrangement along the first path and the second path result in an overall range of motion for the suspended assembly relative to the main body that is defined by a surface area.

A gift presentation box includes an upper portion hinged to a lower portion and a movable article mount for supporting an article to be presented in the gift presentation box. An articulated linkage includes a plurality of links connecting the article mount to other elements of the presentation box such that the articulated linkage moves the article mount from a stored position to a presentation position that is elevated relative to the stored portion when the upper portion of the box is moved from a closed position to an open position.
