Definitions

  • the invention relates generally to wheelchairs with a frame, a seat, a backrest, wheels and with attachments attached to the frame, such as armrests or footrests.
  • this object is achieved in that, in the case of a generic wheelchair, colored covering parts can be detachably attached to essentially all parts and components of the wheelchair, by means of which a variable color design of the entire wheelchair is possible.
  • the colored cladding parts can be produced inexpensively, for example in a preferred embodiment as flat plastic parts or platelets, the variable design of the main parts of the wheelchair being dispensed with due to the variable design. Furthermore, storage of the trim parts is, in particular, considerably more cost-effective than storing differently painted, fully assembled wheelchairs or their main assemblies. The final choice of color or individual changes to the design of the wheelchair can be made in the shop without great effort, customer-specific or at the user's request at any later time.
  • plug or clamp connections are provided on the trim parts, via which the trim parts are detachably attached to the respective components to be covered.
  • the plug connections can be designed as molded wart-like projections on the trim parts, which are pressed into corresponding recesses or bores in the components of the wheelchair.
  • the cladding parts are designed as flat plates, which are dimensioned such that they are fastened, for example, between longitudinal grooves provided on frame profiles by insertion or snapping into them in such a way that they are slightly curved outwards and thus due to the resulting inherent tension be held securely in the grooves.
  • Such an embodiment is characterized by particularly simple attachment of the trim parts and by inexpensive manufacture of the trim parts or decorative elements.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 show a wheelchair according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, once with attached trim parts or decorative elements (Fig. 1) and once without the trim parts or decorative elements.
  • the wheelchair usually has a frame 1 which carries a seat 2, a backrest 3, drive wheels 4 and further attachments such as armrests 6, footrests 7 and brackets 8 for steering or steering wheels 5.
  • the frame 1 comprises two mutually opposite and interconnected side frames, which according to FIG. 3 are each formed by two rigid frame parts 11 and 12 and by elongated frame profiles 13 connecting them together.
  • the rigid frame part 11 carries the front attachments such as (swiveling) footrest 7 and the height-adjustable holder for the steering wheel 5 while the rear rigid frame part 12 has receptacles for fastening the backrest 3 and each has one of the drive wheels 4.
  • a plurality of receptacles offset from one another are provided on the frame part 12 for these components.
  • flat cladding parts or decorative elements 10 are provided (see FIG. 1), which are shaped and colored in accordance with the surfaces of the parts and components to be covered.
  • the cladding parts are detachably attached to essentially all surfaces, components and parts of the wheelchair that contribute to the appearance of the wheelchair and thus enable a variable color design of the entire wheelchair in a simple and inexpensive manner.
  • functional elements of the respective wheelchair components such as stiffening ribs, screws, mounting holes, etc. can also be covered in a simple manner.
  • trim parts or decorative elements are preferably made of plastic in the form of flat panels or as molded parts, since they are thus inexpensive and easy to manufacture, color and process. If necessary, however, other materials such as sheet metal made of different metals, wood, coated paper or cardboard, etc., as well as other coating and design processes such as painting, printing, anodizing, chrome plating etc. can be used.
  • the rigid frame parts 11 and 12 are preferably made in one piece and are produced by die casting from aluminum or magnesium.
  • the frame profiles 13 are formed by continuous cast profiles and are mounted in corresponding guides on the rigid frame parts 11 and 12 so that in particular the rear frame part 12 can be displaced along the frame profiles 13 relative to the front frame part 11 and can be locked in different longitudinal positions either continuously or in predetermined positions .
  • the elongated frame profiles 13 have hollow chambers and longitudinal grooves 14 running in the longitudinal direction, the covering parts 10 provided for the profiles being designed for releasable attachment as flat strips with a somewhat greater width than the distance between the longitudinal grooves, and thus these from the end of the profiles between the longitudinal grooves 14 or laterally inserted or clipped between them. Due to the curvature towards the outside of the elastically deformed and resilient covering parts, they are held securely in their position. Alternatively, other suitable detachable fastening devices can also be used here for fastening the trim parts.
  • the snap fastening of the cladding parts into the grooves provided on the components to be clad can also be achieved by appropriate shaping of the rigid frame parts.
  • Additional attachments and components of the wheelchair are attached to the frame profiles and extend in the longitudinal direction of the profiles displaceable and can be determined either in any longitudinal positions or in predetermined positions by suitable devices such as clamps or with screws or bolts inserted into bores in the longitudinal profiles.
  • the trim parts for the intermediate sections of the frame profiles can be cut to the appropriate length.
  • trim parts or decorative elements can also be attached to other frame structures or wheelchair components by suitable detachable fastening devices.
