Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wheelchair, in particular a wheelchair with a rigid frame.
  • a collapsible wheelchair frame is known in which on an upper frame part which carries a seat, at the rear end pivotally a connecting lever is mounted, which carries a rear wheel.
  • This connecting lever is articulated via a lower frame part with a front frame part, which in turn is pivotally connected to the upper frame part. It thus forms a four-joint mechanism.
  • a side plate is pivotally provided at the hinge point between the connecting lever and the upper frame part, on which in turn a backrest strut is pivotally mounted, which is lockable in an upright pivot position with the side plate.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a wheelchair of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art with a simple structure and simple, cost-effective manufacturability and in the folded state has a low packing volume.
  • the wheelchair has a rigid chassis frame, on which steerable front wheels are mounted. These are preferably fastened in different positions in order to adjust the inclination of the chassis frame or the seat height in this way.
  • each side a connecting element is pivotally mounted, which supports a rear wheel and carries a backrest strut and a seat stay supports.
  • the connecting element with the chassis frame, with the seat stay as well as with a at the front area of the seat stay and the chassis frame rotatably mounted support element a four-bar mechanism.
  • the construction according to the invention is characterized by the considerable advantage that not only the backrest strut is mitverschwenkt at a pivoting of the connecting element, but also caused by the four-bar mechanism, and the seat stay is swung.
  • the overall height in the folded position can be significantly reduced.
  • Another advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that only a single handle is required to bring the wheelchair from the use position to the folding position and vice versa. Operating errors can thus be completely excluded.
  • the two lateral connecting elements each store an axle, to which a continuous rear axle is attached, which carries at its two ends in each case the two rear wheels releasably.
  • the rear axle thus forms a structural element, which also has an influence on the overall rigidity of the wheelchair frame and additionally serves as a carrying handle in the folded position.
  • the seat back strut Due to the construction according to the invention, it is possible to pivot the seat back strut from a substantially vertical position of use to a substantially horizontal folded position (relative to the position of the chassis frame in the position of use).
  • the backrest strut is preferably brought substantially parallel to the seatstay.
  • the seat strut is preferably pivoted from an angular position relative to the horizontal position which it occupies in the position of use, so that it comes to lie substantially parallel to upper elements of the chassis frame. This leads to the already mentioned significant reduction of the volume in the folded position.
  • the wheelchair in a preferred development on a locking device which locks the wheelchair both in the position of use and in the folded position. In the use position is thus excluded that the wheelchair is unintentionally adjusted or collapses. In the folded position, the wheelchair is also reliably fixed and can therefore be easily and simply handled and worn.
  • the locking device is preferably designed so that it is mounted on the chassis frame and blocks the pivotal movement of the connecting element, both in the position of use and in the folded position. It is particularly advantageous if the locking device can be operated with a pull rope or the like. This makes the operation easier, on the other hand results in a very low overall weight.
  • the wheelchair according to the invention comprises a chassis frame 1, which comprises a top tube 12 and a down tube 13, which are firmly connected to each other and form a parallelogram-like side structure (see, for example Fig. 7 ).
  • a chassis frame 1 which comprises a top tube 12 and a down tube 13, which are firmly connected to each other and form a parallelogram-like side structure (see, for example Fig. 7 ).
  • On the down tube 13 bearings 14 are provided, on which in different positions steerable, pivotable in swivel forks mounted front wheels 2 are mounted.
  • the chassis frame 1 continues to bear at its front lower portion a example in Fig. 1 illustrated tread plate or footrest, which is additionally telescopic and thus height adjustable.
  • the two side parts of the chassis frame 1, which are formed from the top tube 12 and the down tube 13 are connected to each other by means of a transverse strut 15.
  • This is pivotable about a first transverse axis 16 and connected to struts 17, which extend perpendicular to the transverse strut 15.
  • the free ends of the struts 17 in turn are connected to a cross tube 19, which forms a second transverse axis 18, so that the cross tube 19 about the second transverse axis 18 is pivotable relative to a seat transverse strut 20.
  • This in turn is connected to a seat stay 6.
  • the cross strut 15, the struts 17 and the cross tube 19 form a support member 7, which is part of a four-bar mechanism.
  • the rear end region of the chassis frame 1, in particular of the top tube 12, is articulated to form a third transverse axis 21 with a connecting element 3.
  • the connecting element 3 carries (see Fig. 6 and 7 ) in an adjustable position in each case an axle carrier 8, which is designed for mounting a rear axle 9 in different positions.
  • an axle carrier 8 which is designed for mounting a rear axle 9 in different positions.
  • the connecting element 3 is fixedly coupled to a backrest 5, whereby it can also be mounted in different positions relative to the connecting element in order to be able to adjust the inclination of the backrest strut 5 (see in particular FIG Fig. 6 and 7 ).
  • the connecting element 3 is pivotally connected to the seat stay 6.
  • the entire wheelchair is constructed symmetrically, so that in each case the same parts on both sides, for example, the rear wheel 4, the connecting element 3, the backrest strut 5 and the seat stay 6 are provided.
  • a locking device 10 is disposed on the inside of the side part of the chassis frame (on the top tube 12). This is cylindrical and comprises a spring-biased pin, not shown in detail, each extending into a recess 23 of the connecting element 3. This makes it possible to lock or fix the connecting element 3 relative to the upper tube 12 either in the position of use or in the folded position.
  • the two bolts of the locking devices 10 are connected via a common pull cable 11 (see for example Fig. 3 ), connected. By pulling on the pull cable 11 thus the two locking bolts are released, so that a pivoting of the four-bar mechanism can be done.
  • the connecting element 3 is fixedly coupled to a backrest, whereby this is mounted relative to the connecting element in different positions in order to adjust the inclination of the backrest strut 5 (see in particular Fig. 6 and 7 ).
  • the connecting element 3 is pivotally connected to the seat stay 6.
  • the entire wheelchair is constructed symmetrically, so that in each case the same parts on both sides, for example, the rear wheel 4, the connecting element 3, the backrest strut 5 and the seat stay 6 are provided.
  • a locking device 10 is disposed on the inside of the side part of the chassis frame (on the top tube 12). This is cylindrical and includes a not shown in detail
