Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a walking assist device that is convenient for use by elderly people with weakened legs and waist, walking training after illness, and the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, as a pushcart for an old man used instead of a cane, there is a structure in which a luggage storage case is provided on a traveling wheel and a handle rod is erected from the side portion of the case toward the upper rear side. In addition, some of the wheelbarrows for the aged have a seat for resting during walking, which is attached to the front of the luggage storage case by folding.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The foldable seat provided in the above-mentioned wheelbarrow for the aged was small, and the luggage storage case was an obstacle, which made it uncomfortable to sit on. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to realize a walking assist device that is stable and comfortable to sit on, and that does not hinder luggage transportation.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 A seat 3 for seating is provided on the upper surface of a traveling vehicle body 2 having traveling wheels 1 and 6, and steering wheel rods 4 and 4 are erected obliquely rearward and upward on the left and right side portions of the traveling vehicle body 2, and the handle rods 4 are provided. A basket 5 is mounted on the seats 4 and 4 so as to be movable above the seat 3 and rearward or sideward to form a walking aid.

[0005]

[Operation and effect of the device]

 When using this walking aid while walking, by fixing the basket 5 at a position above the seat 3 on the traveling vehicle body 2, the weight of the luggage is added above the traveling vehicle body 2 so that it is stable. You can run as you like. Also, when resting while walking, moving the basket 5 from above the seat 3 to the rear or to the side does not hinder the sitting on the seat 3, and the weight of the seated person is added directly above the traveling vehicle body 2. There is no risk of the traveling vehicle body 2 falling over in a stable manner.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and a third embodiment shown in FIGS. The vehicle body 2 having a built-in motor, battery, etc. has one driving wheel 1 on the front side and one driven wheel 6 on the left and right sides respectively, and a seat for seat 3 is attached on the upper side. There is. The seat 3 is provided with a small article storage section inside the traveling vehicle body 2 so as to be rotatable upward.

Further, handle rods 4, 4 are provided upright on the left and right side portions of the traveling vehicle body 2, and handles 7, 7 are provided at the upper ends thereof, and the traveling speed control is provided near the handles 7, 7 in the left and right center. A box 8 is provided. By rotating the traveling lever 9 protruding from the box 8, the drive wheels 1 are driven and the vehicle travels at a desired speed. The above configuration is common to the first to third embodiments, and the difference lies in the mounting configuration of the basket 5.

First, in the first embodiment, the brackets 11 for holding the support rods 10 are attached to the left and right side portions of the basket 5 formed of a square box-shaped net case, and the handle rods 4 are attached in the front-back direction. The support rod 10 inserted through the cylinder is attached to the bracket 11. The basket 5 is slidable back and forth between a position above the seat 3 and a position moved rearward of the seat 3, and is fixed by a tightening screw 13 so as not to move.

Next, in the second embodiment, the pivot support tube bracket 14 is attached to one side of the basket 5, and the tightening plate bracket 15 is attached to the other side of the basket 5, which are provided on the handle rods 4, 4. The tubular bracket 14 is fitted onto the pivot shaft 16, and the plate bracket 15 is positioned on the receiving seat 17 projecting from the other handle rod 4 and fixed by the tightening screw 18. When sitting on the seat 3, the tightening screw 18 is removed to pivot the basket 5 sideways around the pivot shaft 16 so that it does not get in the way.

Further, in the third embodiment, the hanging brackets 19 are attached to the left and right side portions of the basket 5, and the arm 20 is pivotally supported on the handle rod 4 side so as to swing forward. The arm 20 regulates a front and rear swing position by a regulation frame 21. The bracket 19 of the basket 5 is pivotally supported and attached to the upper end of the arm 20 by the attachment pin 22. When the arm 20 is swung to the front side, the basket 5 is positioned above the seat 3, and when swung to the back side, the basket 5 is detached from the seat 3 rearward and there is no problem in sitting.
