Definitions

  • the invention relates to a frame for a wheelchair according to claim 1, on which wheels and a seat are fastened, with a seat surface portion for receiving a seat and a backrest portion for receiving a backrest, which is foldable in a substantially parallel to the seat extending position.
  • the invention also relates to a wheelchair with such a frame, are attached to the wheels and a seat with seat and backrest.
  • a so-called folding wheelchair is usually provided with an X-shaped frame, which is flat collapsible. In the folded, flat state, the wheelchair has only a small width between its two drive wheels. These wheelchairs can be easily transported or stowed in this transport position. However, they are relatively heavy due to the folding frame. Furthermore, they are usually provided with coverings for the seat and the backrest, which ensure only a low stability. In addition, clothing offers only limited support for the patient being admitted. As a rule, they extend in a plane or in a curved surface. A special adaptation of the clothing as a function of the physiognomic conditions of the recorded person is not possible.
  • the wheelchairs are distributed both as a complete product and in modules.
  • the seat shell to the patient to be admitted, e.g. the chassis with the frame sold separately from the seat.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a framework for a wheelchair, which can be arranged to save space in a new way.
  • the backrest portion and the components attached to it then take during storage or during transport no additional space.

  • Pads are padded surfaces that rest against the patient's body, stabilizing it in the seat.
  • such support elements are attached to the backrests of wheelchairs, which are formed flat and bear laterally against the trunk of the patient in the region of his chest. Patients who can not assume a stable sitting position are stabilized by such support pads in the seat.
  • these support pads on active wheelchairs improve the secure and firm hold of the wheelchair in the patient.
  • the invention proposes, when pads are attached to the backrest to arrange them for transport and storage within the frame below the seat.
  • this is accomplished in a practical manner by pivotally attaching the front end of the seat bottom portion of the frame and releasably securing the rear end of the seat bottom portion to the frame.
  • the rear edge of the seat can be solved and pivot forward and upward.
  • the rear edge of the seat is located at a great distance from the frame.
  • the lower end of the backrest portion of the frame is pivotable and at least in a pivoting position lockably attached to the rear end of the seat portion. With the rear end of the seat dissolved, the seat back can be pivoted about the rear end of the seat until the seat back lies substantially in a plane parallel to the seat.
  • the seat can be pivoted with the backrest back to its horizontal position.
  • support pads are attached to the backrest portion of the frame, they protrude into the frame within the frame and below the seat in this position. In this position, the rear end of the seat can be re-attached to the frame.
  • the backrest or the backrest portion may also be lockable in different pivotal positions at the rear end of the seat surface portion.
  • the seating position of the wheelchair can be variably adapted to the needs of the patient by the inclination angle of the backrest is changed.
  • the seat and / or backrest and / or support pads may be padded.
  • the padding may be provided with a protective cover. But there are also foamed plastic pads that are used without protective cover.
  • the frame is - as also known from the prior art - equipped with large drive wheels in the rear area and with smaller steering wheels in the front area.
  • the term "steering wheel” is referred to in a wheelchair, the small front wheel, the wheel axle is rotatably mounted about a vertical axis on the frame and has a caster with respect to this vertical axis.
  • a wheelchair usually has two steering wheels. The steering wheels support the wheelchair against tilting forwards and to the side and allow by the rotatable attachment about a vertical axis steering the wheelchair.
  • footrests can be attached to the frame. Either a footrest for both feet of the patient or two individually adjustable footrests can be provided.
  • each side of the frame preferably has an axle bearing with a quick receptacle for an axis of the drive wheel.
  • the large drive wheels can be quickly detached from the frame, for example, when the wheelchair is to be transported or stowed.
  • the drawings show a frame 5 with a seat for a wheelchair.
  • the seat consists of a seat 1, a backrest 2 and two attached to the lateral edges of the backrest 2 in the upper area trunk-truss pads 3.4.
  • the frame has a seat surface portion 33 and a backrest portion 34 to which the seat surface 1 and the backrest 2 are attached.
  • Pads 3,4 are padded protrusions which fit tightly against the trunk of the patient seated in the thoracic seat and ensure trunk guidance and firm support in the seat.
  • the pads 3,4 are therefore rigidly connected to the backrest 2.
  • Both the backrest 2 with the trunk guide pads 3,4 and the seat 1 are provided with a padding.
  • the shape of the padding can be adapted to the physique of the patient for whom the wheelchair is intended.
  • the seat 1 of the accompanying drawings is supported by a frame 5.
  • the frame 5 consists of two side parts 6,7, which are interconnected by cross struts 8,9.
  • Each side part 6,7 is formed from a substantially closed tube construction.
  • the tube construction comprises a lower tube 10, which merges via a curved tube section into a front, obliquely extending tube 11.
  • a short tube section 12 At the front, obliquely extending tube 11 is followed at the top by a short tube section 12, on which a arranged under the seat surface 1 upper tube 13 is pivotally mounted via a hinge 14.
  • a joint and connecting element 24 At the rear end of the upper tube 13 is a joint and connecting element 24.
  • the lower part of the joint and connecting element 24 has a bore 16 (see Fig.
  • the bore 16 is aligned in the Fig. 1 shown position with a bore 16 ', which is arranged at the upper end of a rear pipe section 15 of the side part 6,7 and is also penetrated by the pin for closing the frame.
  • joint and connecting element 24 has a lockable in a plurality of pivoting positions mounting arrangement for a side strut 17 of the backrest 2, which will be described in detail below.
