Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wheelchair, of the type comprising two large load-bearing wheels mounted on either side of a central frame, part of which supports a seat and another part constitutes a footrest provided with steered wheels.
  • Wheelchairs of this type most often have a folding structure so that they can be stored in tight spaces, and in particular in the boot of a motor vehicle.
  • the present invention proposes to remedy this drawback and, to do this, it relates to a wheelchair of the type specified in the introduction, which is characterized in that each of its carrying wheels is formed of a rim which, carrying the pneumatic, directly constitutes the outer ring of a peripheral bearing whose inner ring, of large diameter, devoid of any hub, shaft or radius, carries the frame fixed to it by releasable fixing means.
  • the seat of the wheelchair and the part of the frame which supports it form a separate assembly from the footrest, which has a folding structure designed and dimensioned so that once separated from the wheels and folded, said assembly forms a package whose volume is entirely contained in that delimited by the two superimposed load wheels.
  • the footrest independent of the rest of the frame, has the shape of a closed arch projecting from the front of the supporting wheels and held at its rear between them by releasable means of fixing to their inner ring.
  • this hoop advantageously having, in all directions, external dimensions at most equal to those of the space delimited by the two superimposed supporting wheels as well as an internal length and width preferably greater than the corresponding dimensions of the package constituted by the seat and its support disassembled and folded.
  • each of the steering wheels of the chair is preferably supported by a pivoting stand mounted on a respective lateral branch of the roll bar by an articulation with an axis perpendicular to the pivot axis of the stand, and comprising a retractable member d immobilization in the deployed position.
  • the means for fixing, to the inner rings of the carrying wheels, the footrest arch are formed at each end of the rear branch of this one, by a bolt provided with a notch, which slides in an internal elastic ratchet keeper, integral with the inner ring of the corresponding carrier wheel, and that on each side of the seat support part of the frame , the means for fixing the latter to the respective inner ring comprise two groups, mutually distant along the periphery of the latter, of two elements assembly snap into one another, one of these elements being integral with the inner side of the inner ring and the other on the opposite side of said seat support part of the frame.
  • one of the assembly elements is a protruding finger ending in a ball joint and the other a receiving part provided with a housing for inserting this finger and an elastic pawl, the receiving part of at least one of the groups having the shape of a clamp in which the corresponding projecting finger engages laterally.
  • the projecting finger prefferably has, over at least part of its length, a polygonal cross section and for the housing provided in the receiving part to have a cross section complementary to that of the finger.
  • the position of at least one of the assembly elements of each group is adjustable along the inner side of the corresponding inner ring and / or respectively on the opposite side of the seat support part of the frame to allow easy adjustment of the seat height or its lateral or rear tilt.
  • the removable wheelchair according to the invention can also be made self-propelled without losing the aforementioned advantages, namely essentially the possibilities of rapid assembly and disassembly and the storage of its various constituent elements in a minimum volume, facilitating its transport.
  • each of the two carrying wheels of the chair is advantageously provided with a motor carried by one of its rings and causing the second ring to rotate by means of a transmission mechanism cooperating with the latter, the motor , and possibly its energy supply source, being retained inside the central recess of the wheel in question without encroaching on a space having, in the plane of said wheel, dimensions smaller than the transverse dimensions and longitudinal of the arch.
  • the motor and possibly its power supply source, is carried by the inner annular surface of the ring inside of the wheel in question, and the outer ring has a flange, an annular part of which, folded in front of the inner ring, cooperates with said motor transmission mechanism.
  • said transmission mechanism is constituted by a pinion or a set of pinions, meshing with a crown with internal toothing carried by said annular part folded back from the outer ring. It may alternatively consist of a friction roller or a set of friction rollers cooperating with a coating with a high coefficient of friction of said annular part.
  • the motor in a direction parallel to the axis of the wheel, the motor, with its transmission mechanism and possibly its energy supply source, has a dimension less than twice the thickness of the wheel and does not go not beyond a lateral plane of congestion of the latter.
  • the two assembly elements of at least one of the groups are advantageously provided respectively with electrically conductive internal parts, in mutual contact, each isolated from the external body forming the mass of the assembly element considered, this to, when reassembling the chair, be able to play the role of automatic electrical connectors which can be used to, in the case of the use of an electric motor, close the electric control circuit of the latter.
  • the wheelchair exemplified in FIG. 1 comprises two carrying wheels 1, 2 of large diameter, a seat 3 and a footrest 4 provided, in front of the carrying wheels, with two lateral guide rollers 5.
  • each of the carrying wheels 1 or 2 is formed, in the manner of a bearing, of two large diameter rings 7, 8 kept closely in contact, concentrically around one another, by means of rollers 9 interposed between them peripherally and whose axes are perpendicular to the plane of the wheel.
  • the annular inner rings 7 of the two carrying wheels 1, 2 thus constitute completely hollow fixed elements holding between them the seat support 3 and the independent footrest 4, while the outer ring 8 of each wheel 1 or 2 constitutes the actual rim with a tire 10 disposed on its periphery and a handrail 11 projecting from its outer side.
  • the support for the seat 3 is essentially formed of two L-shaped side elements 12, 13 whose vertical branches 12a and 13a support the backrest 14 in seat fabric and the horizontal branches 12b and 13b the separate seat 15 also in canvas.
  • a double folding arm 16 or 17, forming an armrest is articulated on one side to the vertical branch and, on the other, to the horizontal branch, which are further joined by a hinge 18, self-locking in the deployed position at right angles to the two branches.
  • each support element 12, 13 is assembled to the inner edge of the hollowed-out inner ring 7 of a respective load wheel 1 or 2, by two point-fixing devices, positioned first on its horizontal branch 12b or 13b and the second on its vertical branch 12a or 13a.
  • FIG. 5 shows the first of these identical fixing devices for the two support elements. It consists, on the one hand, of a finger 26 projecting from the inner side of the ring 7, perpendicular to its plane and tangentially inside it, and ending in a spherical ball joint 27, and, on the other hand, a part 28, of generally parallelepiped shape, which fits on the horizontal branch 12b or 13b, of rectangular section, of the support element 12 or 13 by a claw 29 of complementary shape, internally provided with a pawl elastic 30 for blocking the workpiece 28. On the face, opposite the claw 29, of the workpiece 28, there opens an internal housing 31 of the latter into which the ball-joint finger 26 is inserted axially.
  • the second fixing device visible in FIG. 6 has the same overall structure as the first, except that the rectangular part 35 here has the shape of a clamp defined by a fixed part 36 carrying the claw 37 and a movable jaw 38 articulated around a longitudinal axis 39 and urged by a spring or by the own elasticity of the material.
  • This clamp is open towards the rear at 55 and the ball joint finger 40 engages there laterally so as to be blocked by the jaw inside the part 35.
  • the footrest 4, without connection with the seat 3, is constituted by a closed arch which carries, at each end of its rear branch 4a, a bolt 41 substantially perpendicular to this last, shown in Figure 7.
  • This bolt 41 which has a notch 42, fits into a keeper 43 secured to the inner ring 7 of the corresponding carrier wheel, in a position slightly recessed inwardly according to its radius by relative to the internal periphery of the latter, the keeper 43 being further provided with an elastic pawl 44 which engages in the notch 42 of the bolt to block it.
  • the largest external dimensions in length and in width of the footrest arch 4 are at most equal to the internal diameter of each of the hollowed out inner rings 7 and that the space which it delimits is of a length greater than that of each of the branches 12a, 12b, 13a, 13b of the seat support elements 3.
  • the inner annular surface of the hollowed-out inner rings 7 also have a slight taper open towards the inside of the chair, as shown in 7a in FIG. 3, and, in the exemplified embodiment, the outside length of the hoop 4 is equal to the inside mean diameter of each ring 7.
  • each stand 45 consists of a short upper part 46 articulated on the inside of the hoop 4 around an axis A parallel to that of the caster 5, and a longer tab 47 pivoting under the part 46 around a second axis B perpendicular to the first A.
  • the package thus formed, and made rigid by the connections provided by friction between the two wheels, can then be capped around the supporting wheels 1, 2 by a circular toric cover 52 with a U-section, provided with handles 53, such as that shown. in Figure 11.
  • the package can thus be easily transported in the form of space-saving hand luggage.
  • the O-ring cover 52 can of course be replaced by a circular cover which is entirely closed in the center.
  • the carrying wheels 1 and 2 can advantageously, according to FIG. 3, receive an external flange 56 located inside the handrail and occupying its entire surface, being fixed therein removably or not, from such that the volume thus obtained between the two flanges 56 of the two superposed wheels 1 and 2 delimits a receptacle capable of containing all of the elements described above.
  • the two wheels 1, 2 with their flange 56 thus form a rigid and completely closed transport envelope, which can itself be fitted with the cover 52.
  • the assembly of the wheelchair will be just as easy as its disassembly, by snap-fastening.
  • the wheelchair according to the invention has, once reassembled, a perfect rigidity which is conferred on it by the central frame, namely the seat support 3 and the footrest arch 4, assembled between the inner rings 7, at three mutually distant points along each of them.
  • the removable wheelchair according to the invention can also be made self-propelled thanks to a certain number of simple arrangements which do not eliminate any of its aforementioned advantages.
  • FIG. 12 illustrates a preferred embodiment of such a self-propelled wheelchair, the large load wheels 1, 2 of which are first of all each equipped with a small direct current electric motor 57, of known type.
  • this motor 57 is fixed, by its outer carcass 58, on the inner annular surface 59 of the inner ring 7 of this wheel.
  • the motor 57, the attachment of which to the inner ring 7, will preferably be reinforced by lateral stays, not shown, is positioned in such a way that its shaft 60 is parallel to the axis of the wheel 1 and is directed towards the outside. of the latter.
  • FIG. 14 also shows that the outer ring 8 of the wheel 1 is provided, over its entire circumference, with a radial flange 61 which folds in front of the inner ring 7, with a slight spacing from it.
  • the folded, annular and continuous branch 62 of this rim 61 carries, on its outer surface, an inner gear ring 63, centered on the axis of the wheel 1, with which meshes a pinion 64 mounted free to rotate on the face front of the carcass 58 of the motor 57, this pinion 64 meshing itself with a second pinion 65 wedged on the shaft 60 of the motor.
  • Miniature accumulator batteries 66 are fixed on either side of the engine 57, on its carcass 58, to ensure the electrical supply thereof through a four-position switch , housed in the arm 16 of the seat 3 of the chair, closest to the wheel 1 considered, where it can be actuated by means of a control handle 67 (see FIG. 14).
  • each finger as shown in FIG. 13 for that 26 of the first fixing device , has a core 68, conductive of electricity, which carries at its end the ball joint 27 and is enveloped by an insulating sleeve 69, inside the body 70, forming a mass, of the finger 26.
  • the pawl 32 is electrically insulated at 71 from the external mass of the part 28.
  • the finger 26 of the first fixing device has a polygonal section, here rectangular, and the housing 31, into which it is inserted, has an exactly complementary section. This guarantees perfect rigidity of the assembly produced between the support for the seat 3 and the wheel 1, which by these provisions, resists in effect the mutual torsional forces between the two elements 26 and 28 snapped into each other.
  • the end part 26a of the finger 26 is also slightly tapered to facilitate the centering of the latter during its introduction into the housing 31 of the part 28.
  • any suitable means other than the set of pinions 64, 65 can be used to make the kinematic connection between the shaft 60 of the motor 57 and the ring gear 63 of the outer ring 8 of the wheel 1, thanks to at which the latter is rotated around the fixed inner ring 7, in one direction or the other, and at a selectable speed, from the control lever 67.
  • This set of pinions can be replaced by a friction roller or a set of such rollers in contact with the inner annular surface 62, in this case smooth and provided with a coating with a high coefficient of friction, of the outer ring 8 of the wheel 1.
  • the second load-bearing wheel 2 is arranged in the same way as the first, with an engine-battery assembly, electrical connections and a control, as described above.
  • FIG 15 shows that, thanks to these provisions, the two wheels 1 and 2 of the self-propelled wheelchair of Figure 12 can be superimposed on each other, without leaving any parts protruding, in the same way as those of the wheelchair described above.
  • the motor 57 and its batteries 66 are confined inside a housing delimited by the inner ring 7 of the wheel 1 or 2 considered and a cord of this ring, symbolized by the dashed line 72 in FIG. 12.
  • This cord 72 which can moreover be embodied by a narrow plate further stiffening the fixing of the motor, is in a position such that after the two disassembled wheels 1,2 are superimposed, as in FIG. 15, the motors 57, with their batteries 66, do not encroach on the space 73 reserved, inside the two wheels, for the installation of the arch 4 at the center of which is then placed the package 51 formed by the seat 3 folded and wound on itself, as shown in Figure 10 for the first non-self-propelled wheelchair.
  • the self-propelled wheelchair of FIG. 12 can, after disassembly, be put in the form of a package of minimum volume easily transportable in a bag in the form of a cover. toric such as that of Figure 11.
