  • Such folding wheelchairs are well known from the prior art, for example from the DE 20 2008 009 608 U1 .
  • a scissor element also called cross strut, use.
  • the pivot axis of the scissor arms of the scissor element is in this case arranged parallel to the footprint of the wheels of the wheelchair on a floor.
  • the common pivot axis of the two scissor arms of the scissor element is arranged horizontally.
  • this pivot axis moves upward, thus in a vertical plane.
  • the lower ends of the scissor arms are rotatably mounted on lower horizontal frame tubes of the side frames.
  • a seat tube is welded horizontally.
  • These horizontally welded seat tubes rest in the unfolded state of the wheelchair on the seat tubes matched bearings that are attached to upper horizontal tube sections of the seat frame.
  • the horizontally welded seat tubes move freely upward while the side frames move towards each other.
  • a tab which is rotatably connected both with a scissor element half as well as with the corresponding side frame, ensures that the side frames are guided in parallel during the folding process and the seat tubes of the scissor element are positioned exactly in the camps.
  • Object of the present invention is to develop a foldable wheelchair of the type mentioned so that, with high stiffness of the wheelchair in unfolded state, the wheelchair with respect to its width can be folded to a compact Faltiety.

  • the scissor arms are mounted in the region of the other Scherenimplantationndes pivotally in manually operable actuators, which are mounted at a distance from the pivot axis of the other Scherenimplantationndes in the actuators, pivotally mounted in the side frame, and at a distance from the other Scherenelementende a Faltscharnier is arranged, which is pivotally mounted in the side arms, further comprising an adjusting means, which is pivotally connected to the folding hinge, at a distance from the bearings in the side frame, and between the folding hinge and one of the actuators, at a distance from the pivot axis of this actuator in the associated therefrom, is effective, further comprising means for fixing at least one actuator relative to the said actuator associated side frame in the unfolded position of the wheelchair.
  • the particularly high rigidity of the wheelchair in unfolded state is due to the formation of the wheelchair with both the scissor element and the folding hinge causes.
  • the fixed ends of the scissor element are associated with the side frame and it is associated with the loose ends of the scissor element the manually operable actuators which are pivotally mounted in the side frame.
  • the change in the pivotal positions of the manually operable actuators results in pivoting the actuators in one direction to a greater spread of the scissor arms of the scissor element and thus to a unfolding of the wheelchair, while pivoting the actuators in the opposite direction to a stronger closing of the scissor element, with the consequence of folding the wheelchair leads.
  • the adjusting means which is pivotally connected to the folding hinge, at a distance to its bearings in the side frame, serves to couple the movement of the folding hinge and the one manually operable actuator.
  • This coupling can be designed differently and also be effective differently, for example linear or non-linear.
