Definitions

  • the invention relates to a walking aid.
  • Such walking aids are known from practice and are used for example in hospitals. They consist of a frame which comprises three or four wheels and which is either square and surrounds the user on all sides or which has an essentially U-shaped plan.
  • the frame is designed as a tubular frame and the user can either hold on to the frame or to specially designed handles. People with walking difficulties can move with their own strength with the help of such a walking aid.
  • Standing device distributed body support
  • the user does not walk himself, but stands on footrests. The movement takes place via hand-driven wheels, so that this device does not represent a generic walking aid, but rather enables mobile standing.
  • the known devices have the disadvantage that they allow movement of people with walking difficulties, but are themselves very heavy and voluminous. They are intended for use either in rehabilitation centers or, in the case of the "Easy Stand Mobil", for use at home with people who cannot walk.
  • Standing aids are known from GB-PS 1 262 751, GB 2 140 773 A and GB-PS 1 407 033, which are intended to make it easier for a basically weakened but able-bodied person to get up from a sitting position and sit down from a standing position .
  • These devices are neither intended nor suitable to relieve the person when running over long distances. Rather, they mean an additional burden, since the running person has to push and steer the standing aid - if it is provided with wheels at all.
  • the invention has for its object to improve a generic walking aid in that it is easy to transport.
  • the invention proposes to create a collapsible or dismountable walking aid.
  • the user can leave his home or clinic area and carry the walking aid with him, for example, in the trunk of a car. It is therefore possible to take the walking aid from home to a friend or the like in a city and to move there as freely as possible.
  • Such a foldable support facilitates the handling of the walking aid, since the two assemblies mentioned do not have to be separated from one another and therefore do not have to be joined together later.
  • a considerable weight saving of the walking aid to be transported can, however, result from the fact that the support cannot be folded down relative to the floor assembly, but is designed to be completely detachable from it, so that especially weaker people can handle both individual assemblies separately.
  • a walking aid which essentially consists of three assemblies: a floor assembly 2, a front support 3 and a rear seat 4.
  • the walking aid 1 Due to the fact that it can be dismantled, three individual, light and small assemblies of the walking aid 1 are obtained, which can be easily accommodated in the trunk of a car.
  • the space requirement of the seat 4 can be further reduced in that the saddle 10 is pivotally mounted relative to the two support struts 9, so that it can be pivoted upwards with its front end until it runs approximately parallel to the support struts 9.
  • a load on the front end of the saddle allows the saddle 10 to rest against a stop, so that the load by the owner does not lead to the saddle 10 being folded down undesirably.
  • the support 3 has a crank 16 which is connected to the front wheel 8 via a power transmission, for example a V-belt, toothed belt or the like.
  • the crank 16 can be actuated by two handles 17, the distance between the two handles and thus the effective diameter of the crank 16 being adaptable to the wishes of the user by means of two longitudinally adjustable crank arms 18.
  • the crank 16 can be attached to the central tube of the support 3 in that a bolt 19 extends from the crank 16 into the central tube of the support 3.
  • This bolt 19 can be fixed in the central tube of the support 3 by one or more sliding blocks without play.
  • the bolt 19 can be designed as a threaded rod and have an adjusting nut 20 which limits the depth of penetration of the bolt 19. By loosening the adjusting nut 20, the bolt 19 can penetrate deeper into the central tube of the support 3, so that the power transmission belt loses tension and can be removed, for. B. to be replaced or to allow repairs to the crank 16 or the front wheel 8.
  • the support 3 can be supplied in different heights, so that when the same assembly 2 is used, the suitably high support 3 can be used to adapt it to the body size of the user.
  • the length of the power transmission belt is determined, which can also be designed as a chain, for example.
  • the walking aid 1 can have a front wheel or overall wheels with a considerably larger diameter, so that they have better driving properties on uneven surfaces, for example for driving outside of buildings on pavement and similar bumps.
  • the floor assembly 2 has a front cross member 21 which is pivotally mounted. Aligned transversely to the frame tube 5, the two cross members 6 and 21 serve to support tread plates 22. Using the tread plates 22, the walking aid 1 can be moved without the user having to operate his legs. Rather, the drive takes place with the hands on the handles 17 of the crank 16. Let this way cover longer distances for people with walking difficulties.
  • walking training can also be done with the help of walking aid 1.
  • the tread plates 22 are removed from the floor assembly 2.
  • a rear retaining clip 24 is loosened with the aid of a locking screw 23, which grips over the frame tube 5 and presses the two tread plates 22 downward in their rear region.
  • the tread plates 22 can be raised and removed from the floor assembly 2. Since the two tread plates 22 are fixed to the rear cross member 6 and the front cross member 21 with the aid of bores 25 and fixing pins 26, no further fastening means for the tread plates 22 are required in addition to the retaining clip 24.
  • the front cross member 21 is now pivoted longitudinally under the frame tube 5 and secured with a locking screw 27. Bores in the underside of the frame tube 5 can cooperate with the fixing pins 26 of the front cross member 21, so that its position is fixed longitudinally under the frame tube 5.
  • either the front wheel 8 or the crank 16 have a freewheel, so that during such training, despite the rotating wheel 8, the handles 17 of the crank 16 are fixed and allow the user a secure grip.
  • the floor assembly 2 is supported by rear support wheels 28 after reaching a certain angle of inclination, so that a rollover of the walking aid 1 to the rear is prevented.
  • the seat 4 as a third assembly can be disassembled when used for running training and, even with mounted step plates 22 and a drive via the crank 16, the seat 4 can be dispensed with depending on the condition of the user.
  • the seat 4 can be provided on the walking aid 1 during running training in order to allow rest breaks and can be provided in particular with mounted step plates 22 and a drive of the walking aid 1 by means of the crank 16 in order to create a real vehicle which can be operated via the crank 16 can be driven by the user himself or can be pulled by means of the handle 15.
  • the walking aid 1 can offer hanging options for shopping baskets or shopping bags.
  • a brake can be provided, which can either be provided on the floor assembly 2 for foot actuation and acts on the rear wheels 7 or which can be designed to be manually operated and can be fastened, for example, to the support 3.
  • the brake act on the front wheel 8, so that the support 3 can be easily removed from floor group 2 is possible.
  • a separable brake transmission for example a brake linkage, can also be provided, so that the rear wheels 7 can also be actuated when the brake is actuated itself in the region of the support 3.
  • a hook or a similar receiving coupling can be provided on the rear of the walking aid 1 in order to be able to pull suitcases provided with rollers.
  • a walking aid 1 can be used, for example, at airports.
  • the wheels with a larger diameter which have already been mentioned in contrast to the exemplary embodiment shown, can comprise pneumatic tires, for example, while the smaller wheels can advantageously have low-maintenance solid rubber tires.
  • the saddle 10 can be carried by only one support strut instead of the two support struts 9 shown.
