Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an electric three-wheel type wheelchair operated by an elderly person and a person with weak leg.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Generally, an electric tricycle has a floor surface in front of the driver's seat, and the operator puts his / her foot on the floor and grips the handle in front. At this time, the handle shaft connected to the front wheel shaft stands upright between the legs so that the handle can be gripped freely without bending the waist. In addition, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-189726 proposes a rotating seat in which the body can be oriented freely.

The electric three-wheel type wheelchair 1 shown in FIG. 4 has a vehicle body 2 on which a drive power source 3 is mounted, and a seat 4 is provided on the drive power source 3. A floor surface 5 is formed in front of the seat 4, a front wheel shaft cover 6 projects in the center, and a handle shaft 7 is erected to be connected to the front wheel shaft in the front wheel shaft cover 6. When the user sits on the seat 4, the feet 8 shown by the chain double-dashed line are located on the floor surface 5.

In addition, an electric tricycle with a handle shaft positioned in front of the foot and a space for placing both feet on the floor, and a windshield installed at the front end of the floor to protect the foot from direct wind There is something I did.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above electric tricycle, the body, limbs can be freely moved, but when running on steps, uneven roads, gravel roads, etc., old people and people with weak legs will have their feet off the floor due to the impact from the road surface. At such times, the balance of the body may be lost. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric three-wheel type wheelchair that prevents the foot from being stepped on by vibration during traveling in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a support box for supporting a handle shaft at the center of the front end on the floor surface in front of the driver's seat, and a cover for covering the front part of the floor surface together with the support box at the rear. Is provided by opening.

[0007]

[Action]

 The electric three-wheeled wheelchair 9 configured as described above is provided with a cover 18 having a rearward opening on the front surface of the floor surface, and when the user sits down, the cover 18 is formed on the floor surface 13 formed by the cover 18. The electric three-wheeled wheelchair 9 is driven by operating the steering wheel while keeping the driving posture by inserting the foot. When traveling on steps, uneven roads, gravel roads, etc., the feet rocked by vibration hit the cover 18 and do not fall from the floor surface 13 and remain there.

[0008]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the electric three-wheel type wheelchair of the present invention. In the figure, an electric three-wheel type wheelchair 9 has a handle shaft 12 connected to a shaft 11 of a front wheel 10 and protruding from a floor surface 13. Further, a drive means for driving the rear wheels 14 is provided inside the vehicle body cover 15, and the seat 16 is attached to the upper portion of the vehicle body cover 15. Reference numeral 17 is a handle.

A cover 18 having a rear opening is attached to the front portion of the floor surface 13, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a support box for supporting the handle shaft 12 at the center of the front end of the floor surface 13. 19 is provided, and the edge of the cover 18 is fixed by screws or welding along the edge of the floor surface 13 so as to cover the edge.

In the electric three-wheel type wheelchair 9 configured as described above, the driver sits on the seat 16 and inserts the foot F into the cover 18 to hold the steering wheel 17 and maintain the driving posture. When the electric three-wheeled wheelchair 9 is driven in this posture, the foot swinging on the uneven road hits the cover 18 and does not fly out, and the balance during running is not lost.

The cover 18 thus mounted strengthens the vehicle body by welding or screwing it, and since it covers only the feet, it does not obstruct the visual field and has a good appearance.

[0012]

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, the feet will not come off the floor surface due to the vibration of the vehicle body, and the feet will be protected by the cover if they come in contact with the wall surface while driving. It also has the effect of being able to cause cold, etc., and also has a cold protection effect in winter.
