Abstract

A chair for handicapped or elderly persons walking with a difficulty comprises a chair frame (10), a chair seat (11) mounted on the chair frame, wheels (17, 18, 28) mounted on the chair frame for supporting the chair on a ground or floor surface so that the contact points (29-31) between the wheels and the floor surface define the vertices of a polygon, and hand grips (19) formed on the chair frame to be gripped by a person pushing the chair. At least one (17) of the wheels and/or the hand grips (19) may be mounted in first and second alternative positions. In the first position a resulting downwardly directed force (F) applied to the hand grips (19) by a user of the chair intersects the ground or floor surface inside said polygon and spaced from the sides thereof. In the second position the resulting downwardly directed force (F) applied to the hand grips (19) intersects the ground or floor surface outside said polygon or closely adjacent to a side thereof. In said first position the chair may be pushed by and support a walking or standing handicapped person. In the second position the chair may be used for transporting a sitting handicapped person and the chair may be pushed by an assisting person.
