Description
Mit Laufrollen versehenes Gehgestell
Es sind mit Laufrollen versehene Gehgestelle mit gepolsterten Achselstützen bekannt, die als Gehhilfe für erkrankte und verunfallte Personen benützt werden. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass diese Gehgestelle in ihrer Wirkung ungenügend waren, weil bei Beinschwachen das ganze Körpergewicht auf den Achselstützen abgestützt werden musste. Insbesondere wirkte sich dieser Übelstand darin aus, dass bei der Achselstützenverwendung die Oberarmnerven er lahmen. Durch diese Schmerzen verringern sich die Kräfte, und der Patient kann sich nicht mehr genügend stützen.
Gemäss vorliegender Erfindung ist nun vorgesehen, dass ausser den Achselstützen am Gestellrahmen auch gepolsterte Ellbogen- bzw. Unterarmstützen schwenkbar und höhenverstellbar angeordnet sind.
Vorzugsweise sind vor den Achsel- und Armstützen am Gestellrahmen auch noch Handgriffe zum Steuern angeordnet, die gemäss einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform je einen Vertikalarm und einen Horizontalarm aufweisen.
Das in der Zeichnung schaubildlich dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel des Erfindungsgegenstandes umfasst drei mit Laufrollen 1, 2, 3 versehene Rohrstangen 4, 5, 6, die in an sich bekannter Weise durch zwei in horizontaler Ebene U-förmig gebogene Rohre 7 und 8 zu einem fahrbaren Gehgestellrahmen verbunden sind.
An den Rohrstangen 4 und 5 sind winkelförmige Tragrohre und für in Höhe und Drehstellung verstellbare gepolsterte Achselstützen 9 und 10 angeschweisst.
An den obern Enden der Rohrstangen 4 und 5 sind mit Hilfe von Drehgelenken 11, 12 höhenverstellbare, um die Achsen der Rohre 19 und 20 schwenkbare, muldenförmig ausgebildete und gepolsterte Ellbogen- bzw. Unterarmstützen 13, 14 angeordnet. Vor den Rohrstangen 4, 5 mit den Achselstützen 9, 10 und Ellbogen- bzw. Unterarmstützen 13, 14 sind am Gestellrohr 8 Handgriffe mit je einem Vertikalarm 15, 16 und einem nach innen gerichteten Horizontalarm 17, 18 angeordnet, wobei auch diese zum Steuern dienenden Handgriffe verlängerbar und verstellbar sein können.
Weil bei einem derartigen Gehgestell die gehbehinderte Person ihr Körpergewicht auf mehrere Stützpunkte verteilen kann, stellt die dargestellte Ausführungsform gegenüber bekannten Formen eine wesentlich besser und weniger ermüdend wirkende Gehhilfe dar.

Walking frame with castors
There are walking frames provided with castors with padded armpit supports which are used as walking aids for sick and accident victims. It has been shown that these walking frames were inadequate in their effect because if the leg was weak, the whole body weight had to be supported on the armpit supports. In particular, this inconvenience resulted in the upper arm nerves becoming paralyzed when using the armpit supports. As a result of this pain, the forces are reduced and the patient can no longer support himself sufficiently.
According to the present invention, it is now provided that in addition to the armpit supports on the frame frame, padded elbow and forearm supports are also pivotably and vertically adjustable.
Handles for controlling are preferably also arranged in front of the armpit and arm rests on the frame, which according to a preferred embodiment each have a vertical arm and a horizontal arm.
The embodiment of the subject of the invention shown diagrammatically in the drawing comprises three tubular rods 4, 5, 6 provided with rollers 1, 2, 3, which are connected in a known manner by two tubes 7 and 8 bent in a horizontal plane to form a mobile walking frame are.
Angled support tubes and padded armpit supports 9 and 10, which are adjustable in height and rotation position, are welded to the tubular rods 4 and 5.
At the upper ends of the pipe rods 4 and 5 are height-adjustable, trough-shaped and padded elbow and forearm supports 13, 14, which can be pivoted about the axes of the pipes 19 and 20 with the aid of swivel joints 11, 12. In front of the tubular bars 4, 5 with the armpit supports 9, 10 and elbow or forearm supports 13, 14, 8 handles each with a vertical arm 15, 16 and an inwardly directed horizontal arm 17, 18 are arranged on the frame tube, these also being used for steering Handles can be extendable and adjustable.
Because the handicapped person can distribute his or her body weight over several support points with such a walking frame, the embodiment shown represents a walking aid that is much better and less tiring than known forms.
