Definitions

  • the invention relates to a walker, also called Rollator, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such rollators with swiveling front frame serve as a walker for elderly or handicapped people.
  • a walker can be folded up for simplified transport, however, for reasons of tipping and stability, its frame is to be unfolded and locked apart in use.
  • Such a solution is for example known from DE 90 05 744 U1.
  • this walking carriage can be turned around an axle (8) of the rear wheels (7) with the handbrake (1) acting on the rear wheels (FIG. 2), the front wheels (6) lift off the ground when it is in the opposite direction the forward direction is retracted on the handles (2).
  • the brake is released, the walker rolls back against the running direction until all the wheels have reached their original level. If you want with the walker according to the prior art, an obstacle such as a Overcome curbside, he is to lift and carry over the obstacle.
  • the aim is a walker, which facilitates and supports overcoming obstacles, such as curbs, with appropriate tilt and stability.
  • the invention for solving this problem according to claim 1 relates to a walker with swiveling front frame (Fig.3-5). If the walker with its front wheels (6) against an obstacle (5), for example, a curb, out, block the front wheels (6) and the front frame (3) pivots in the pivot point (9) against the running direction on the rear frame (4) and upsetting one or more spring elements (10), for example, gas pressure shock absorbers or hydraulic shock absorbers ( Figure 4).
  • the energy stored therein in the form of a compressed spring or compressed gas counteracts pivoting and pushes the front frame (3) back in the running direction ( Figure 5), when the walker on the handle (2) pulled back the front wheels (6) forward free.
  • the front frame (3) pivots in the direction of travel.
  • the hand brake (1) blocked while the rear wheels (7).
  • the walker is rotated about the axis of the rear wheels (8), the front wheels (6) set up, the brake (1) released and the rear wheels (7) rolled up to the obstacle (5) and levered to the plane of the front wheels (6).
  • the invention solves both the question of which technical device is absorbed and stored during pivoting of the front frame energy to cause the subsequent pivoting of the front frame in the direction, as well as their arrangement and the arrangement of the pivot point of the front frame.
  • the front frame (3) is arranged to be movable about an axis in the pivot point (9).
  • the walking carriage (FIG. 3) is pushed against an obstacle (5), wherein the front frame (3) pivots about the pivot point (9) against the running direction on the rear frame (4) (FIG. 4) and in this case onto the spring element (10 ) acts.
  • the walker is detected and then pulled on the handles (2) to the rear.
  • the walker rotates about the axis of the rear wheels (8), the front wheels (6) stand out from the ground (Fig. 5).
  • the front frame (3) swings in the direction of travel with the aid of the energy stored in the shock absorber (10).
  • the front wheels (6) are placed at the height of the obstacle to be overcome (5).
  • the brake (1) is released, the rear wheels (7) rolled up to the obstacle (5) and levered to the height of the front wheels (6).
