Patent attributes
An apparatus including a platform, casters attached to the platform, and a carriage supported by the platform is described. The carriage includes a left arm, a right arm, and an actuation mechanism. The left arm can pivot about a left lateral axis, and the right arm can pivot about a right lateral axis. The actuation mechanism allows a distance between a proximal end of the left arm and a proximal end of the right arm to be modified. Increasing the distance causes a distal end of the left arm and a distal end of the right arm to swing towards each other. Decreasing the distance causes the distal end of the left arm and the distal end of the right are to swing away from each other. The apparatus provides a convenient means by which to move a helicopter equipped with skids while the helicopter is on the ground.
