Definitions
- the invention relates to an armchair, in particular for the disabled, equipped with a device for quickly locking footrests. It relates more precisely to an armchair whose footrest (s) are pivotally mounted relative to the frame of the armchair so as to be able to be retracted, and thus to facilitate access to the armchair or the transport thereof.
- a pivoting footrest must be locked, at least in its service position, so that it is held in this position and that it cannot pivot unexpectedly.
- locking must be carried out in a simple and rapid manner.
- One of the aims of the invention is therefore to propose an armchair equipped with a device for rapidly locking footrests, in their service position.
- the invention relates to an armchair comprising a chassis, a retractable footrest comprising a bracket supporting a shelf and connected to the chassis by arms or a wall so as to be able to pivot relative to the chassis along a substantially perpendicular pivot axis.
- a locking device arranged on one of said arms or on said wall so that it can cooperate, in the service position of the footrest, with one of the uprights of the chassis disposed on the pivoting path of the footrest, in order to lock the latter in rotation (document US-A-3 453 027) characterized in that said locking device comprises a cam having a lateral surface arranged to cooperate with the surface lateral of said upright and mounted for rotation around an axis parallel to the axis of said upright; and a locking finger mounted on the arm or the wall near the cam and on the side of the latter opposite to said upright so that it can lock the cam in a position of cooperation with said lateral surface of the upright.
- Another object of the invention is to provide such an armchair, the footrests of which are detachably fixed to the frame of the armchair, the locking device thus ensuring that the footrests are held in the mounted position on the armchair.
- one of said arms or said wall carries stop means arranged so that, when the footrest is locked in rotation, these are pressed against corresponding stop means carried by said upright, to immobilize in translation the footrest in the direction of said pivot axis.
- the footrest can simply be slidably fitted and therefore removable on a pivot axis secured to the chassis, the abovementioned abutment means ensuring the immobilization of the footrest along this axis.
- Figure 1 a wheelchair 1 comprising in a manner known per se a parallelepiped frame 2 produced using profiles assembled by gluing, screwing or welding.
- the chassis 2 is mounted on four wheels, namely two large wheels 3 and two casters 4.
- Figure 1 shows only the right side of the wheelchair cut in half lengthwise. The description relating to this figure will therefore apply to the left side of the wheelchair.
- a footrest 6 which mainly comprises, and in a manner known per se, a bar or bracket 7. At one end of the bracket 7 is mounted perpendicularly a shelf 8 which can be folded against the stem 7.
- the footrest 6 also comprises, in a manner known per se, two arms 9, 10 essentially non-parallel to the stem 7, which are distant from each other and parallel to each other.
- the two arms 9, 10 are fixed by one end to the bracket 7 and are pivotally mounted by the other end on two respective studs 11, 12 aligned on the same geometric pivot axis 13.
- the pivot axis 13 is parallel to the front upright 5 of the chassis 2, that is to say perpendicular to the bearing plane of the wheelchair 1 on the ground; it is set back relative to the front face and to the front upright 5 of the chassis 2, but outside of the chassis 2 relative to the right side thereof.
- the footrest 6 as a whole can rotate around the pivot axis 13 to be folded down on the right side of the chassis 2.
- its lower arm 9 abuts against the front upright 5 which is disposed on the pivot path of this arm.
- the lower arm 9 of the footrest 6 has, in its central part, a U-shaped section (Figure 3). Its wings 14, 15 are perpendicular to the pivot axis 13 and it is turned, in the operating position of the footrest 6, towards the front upright 5.
- the lower arm 9 has in its two wings 14, 15, the side of the stud 11, a notch 26 intended to receive the front upright 5.
- a cam 17 is rotatably mounted around an axis 16 which passes through it in its central part. Its axis 16 is perpendicular to the wings 14, 15 of the lower arm 9, therefore parallel to the axis of the front upright 5 and to the pivot axis 13 of the footrest 6.
- This cam 17 has a portion of lateral surface 18 which is of concave cylindrical shape and which is turned towards the nipple 11. It presents te also a shoulder 19 of axial direction which is substantially diametrically opposite to the concave cylindrical portion 18.
- the cam 17 is subjected to a torque (in the counterclockwise direction, as shown in Figure 2) by means of a torsion spring 20 disposed on an axis 21 parallel to the axis 16 of the cam 17, between this cam and the base 22 of the lower arm 9.
- a torsion spring 20 disposed on an axis 21 parallel to the axis 16 of the cam 17, between this cam and the base 22 of the lower arm 9.
- One end of the torsion spring 20 bears against the cam 17, and the other end against the base 22 of the lower arm 9.
- a locking finger 23 Inside the lower arm 9 of the footrest 6 and on the side of the bracket 7, is also mounted for rotation, along an axis 24 perpendicular to its wings 14, 15, a locking finger 23.
- This locking finger 23 extends lengthwise along the lower arm 9, essentially on the open side of the lower arm 9.
- the axis of rotation 24 of the locking finger 23, is arranged in its central part, so that the locking finger 23 can tilt around the axis of rotation 24.
- a torsion spring 25 is mounted on the axis of rotation 24, similar to that of the cam 17, but in such a way that the locking pin 23 is subjected to a torque clockwise rotation (fig. 2).
- the front upright 5 of the chassis has, at least in its region intended to cooperate with the lower arm 9, a section in the general shape of a U.
- the base of this U is rounded so as to form a surface portion 27 of convex cylindrical shape corresponding to the concave cylindrical shape of the cylindrical portion 18 of the aforementioned cam 17.
- a cylindrical pin 28 is mounted across the two wings 29, 30 of the front upright 5. It protrudes from the side of the upright intended to cooperate with the lower arm 9 of the footrest 6. The diameter of the pin 28 is slightly less than the distance separating the two wings 14, 15 from the lower arm 9.
- the cam 17 and the locking finger 23 described above constitute a device for locking the footrest 6 in its service position shown in the figures.
- pressure is first exerted on the locking finger 23 so as to release the cam 17, which then rotates by a certain angle, in order to receive the front upright 5.
- the flap is then folded down. footrest 6, from its retracting position in which it is arranged on the side of the chassis 2, to place it in the service position.
- the front upright 5 is applied against the cylindrical portion 18 of the cam 17, and it drives the latter in rotation until the wings 14, 15 of the lower arm 9 abut against the front upright 5
- the release of the locking finger 23 then makes it possible to immobilize the cam 17 in its final position.
- the lower arm 9 is therefore immobilized in rotation, since the cam 17 is forcibly applied against the front upright 5, by its cylindrical portion 18.
- the lower arm 9 when the lower arm 9 is folded against the front upright 5, it covers the protruding end of the pin 28 fixed across the front upright 5.
- the lower arm 9, and therefore the assembly of the footrest 6, are immobilized in translation along the direction of the pivot axis 13 of the footrest 6: in fact, the end of the pin 28 is disposed between the two wings 14, 15 of the lower arm 9 and cannot move relative to this arm.
- the abovementioned abutment means therefore consist, on the one hand, of the pin 28, and on the other hand, of the wings 14, 15 of the lower arm 9.
- connection means to the chassis 2 are not arms 9, 10 but are constituted for example by a continuous wall which extends along the bracket.
- the locking device is fixed to this wall.
