Abstract:
A foot pedal assembly and method of moving a wheel assembly from a stowed configuration to a deployed configuration is provided. The foot pedal assembly can be moved to a locked configuration, thereby securing the wheel assembly in a deployed configuration, by allowing a foot pedal of the foot pedal assembly to move away from a second position after moving the foot pedal from a first position to the second position. When in the locked configuration, the foot pedal assembly can be moved to an unlocked configuration by moving the foot pedal assembly back to the second position, thereby allowing the foot pedal assembly and the wheel assembly to move towards the first configuration and the stowed configuration, respectively. A pin extending from a cam assembly into a raceway of a raceway body travels through the raceway as the foot pedal assembly is moved between configurations.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of moving a retractable wheel assembly ( 20 ) between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration, the method comprising:\n imparting a first downward force onto a distal end ( 154 ) of a foot pedal ( 150 ) of a foot pedal assembly ( 100 ) when the foot pedal assembly is in a first configuration and the wheel assembly is in its stowed configuration, thereby moving the foot pedal assembly towards a second configuration and moving the wheel assembly towards its deployed configuration, and imparting a second downward force onto the distal end of the foot pedal when the foot pedal assembly is in its second configuration and the wheel assembly is in its deployed configuration, thereby moving the foot pedal assembly towards its first configuration and moving the wheel assembly away from its deployed configuration, wherein the foot pedal assembly comprises:\n a first pin ( 110 ) coupled to a proximal end ( 152 ) of the foot pedal; \n a cam assembly ( 200 ) having a cam lever ( 210 ) coupled to the first pin; \n a second pin ( 120 ) extending from a first portion ( 212 ) of the cam lever; and \n a raceway body ( 300 ) defining a raceway and first ( 330 ) and second ( 340 ) recessed areas, a first portion ( 310 ) of the raceway extending from the first recessed area and a second portion ( 320 ) of the raceway extending from the second recessed area, \n wherein the second pin is configured to extend into the raceway and the recessed areas, and wherein the second pin travels in a first direction along the raceway while the foot pedal assembly moves between its first and second configurations.
