    Abstract: A patient transport apparatus for patients. The patient transport apparatus comprises a base having a base frame and an intermediate frame. The patient support further comprises a litter configured to be docked to and undocked from a trolley that is configured to slidably translate along the intermediate frame between a plurality of positions including a trolley forward position and a trolley docking position. The litter is configured to be supported by the base in a cantilevered position when the trolley is in the trolley docking position. The base includes a stabilizer that is configured for movement between a retracted configuration and a deployed configuration. In the deployed configuration the stabilizer engages a floor surface to brace the base at an additional point of contact with the floor surface to stabilize the base when the litter is in the cantilevered position.

    Abstract: A patient transport apparatus with a seat assembly to support a patient. A rear assembly pivots between first and second rear positions, and a stair rear position. A ski is selectively pivotable relative to the rear assembly between a plurality of ski positions. A carrier is coupled between the rear assembly and the ski and is operable between: an unlocked state where relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly is permitted, and a locked state where the carrier inhibits relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly. Movement of the rear assembly from the first rear position towards the second rear position changes operation of the carrier from the unlocked state to the locked state such that continued movement of the rear assembly into the rear stair position arranges the rear assembly and the ski for engagement with stairs.

    Abstract: A caster assembly comprises a caster wheel having an outer surface. A wheel support is coupled to the wheel to support the wheel for rotation about a rotational axis and for swiveling about a swivel axis. A brake assembly comprises a brake having a cammed wheel engaging surface shaped to engage the outer surface of the wheel and a brake actuator to move the brake relative to the wheel from an un-braked position to a braked position in which the brake limits rotation of the wheel about the rotational axis. The cammed wheel engaging surface is arranged to articulate relative to the wheel support. The cammed wheel engaging surface articulates relative to the wheel support in response to the wheel rotating about the rotational axis after the brake is initially placed in the braked position such that the cammed wheel engaging surface more deeply engages the wheel with rotation of the wheel about the rotational axis.
