Stair-climbing remote control utility wagon

1. A utility wagon for stair climbing and traversing other difficult terrain, comprising:

a forward chassis arm and a rear chassis arm which are interleaved with each other, with the forward chassis arm terminating in a forward chassis, and the rear chassis arm terminating in a rear chassis, wherein the forward chassis arm and rear chassis arm are fully extendable by servomotors, and provide telescoping segments which extend and retract with the servomotors; and

a leveling system having one or more gyrostabilizers, the forward and rear chassis arms, and one or more servomotors that are controlled by a microprocessor, such that a rectangular bed is kept level relative to the ground regardless of whether the front chassis and rear chassis are traversing a flight of stairs or other terrain.

2. The utility wagon of claim 1 ,

wherein the rectangular bed is mounted on top of the forward chassis arm and the rear chassis arm, the rectangular bed being enclosed by a front panel, two side panels, and a rear panel; and

siderails which are adjustable to a horizontal position and which are securely latched in the vertical position or the horizontal position as desired.

3. The utility wagon of claim 1 , wherein the forward chassis and the rear chassis are canted left or right to provide steering with a tight turning radius.

4. The utility wagon of claim 1 , wherein the forward chassis and the rear chassis provide reversible electric motors, which are enclosed in motor housings and are powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries.

5. The utility wagon of claim 4 , wherein the forward chassis and the rear chassis provide retractable power cords for plugging into a grounded wall outlet to recharge the lithium ion batteries.

6. The utility wagon of claim 1 , wherein the forward chassis and the rear chassis provide rubber caterpillar tracks mounted on hardbar suspensions.

7. The utility wagon of claim 1 , wherein the forward chassis arm and rear chassis arm are configured to elevate the rectangular bed of the wagon by extending the telescoping segments.

8. The utility wagon of claim 1 , wherein the utility wagon is controlled by a remote control which provides a joystick and throttle control system, the remote control comprising at least an internal ring antenna, a transmitter capable of operating on Radio Frequency (RF) or other short-range wireless communication protocol, a battery, and a deactivation button.

9. A utility wagon for stair climbing and traversing other difficult terrain, comprising:

a forward chassis arm and a rear chassis arm which are interleaved with each other, with the forward chassis arm terminating in a forward chassis, and the rear chassis arm terminating in a rear chassis; and

a memory device, a microprocessor, an internal ring antenna, a plurality of infrared sensors, and a transmitter capable of operating on the communication protocol of a remote control are installed in a motor housing of the forward chassis.

10. A utility wagon for stair climbing and traversing other difficult terrain, comprising:

a forward chassis arm and a rear chassis arm which are interleaved with each other, with the forward chassis arm terminating in a forward chassis, and the rear chassis arm terminating in a rear chassis; and

a bed mounted on top of the forward and rear chassis arms,

wherein the bed provides one or two folding, padded, forward facing seats configured in a fore-and-aft arrangement.

11. The utility wagon of claim 10 , wherein the seats provide five-point harnesses and are foldable flat into the bed, leaving a flat surface.
