Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Rollstuhlrahmen gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a wheelchair frame according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Im Einzelnen bezieht sich die Erfindung auf einen Rollstuhlrahmen, welcher zwei Seitenrahmen umfasst, die spiegelbildlich zueinander ausgebildet sind und mittels einer Schere so verbunden sind, dass der Rollstuhlrahmen in üblicher Weise durch seitliches Zusammenschieben der beiden Seitenrahmen zusammenlegbar ist.In detail, the invention relates to a wheelchair frame, which comprises two side frames which are mirror images of each other and are connected by means of a pair of scissors so that the wheelchair frame in the usual manner by lateral collapse of the two side frames is collapsible.
Der Seitenrahmen weist in der Seitenansicht eine im Wesentlichen U-förmige Form auf. Hierzu umfasst er eine obere und eine untere Strebe, welche parallel zueinander angeordnet sind und sich im Wesentlichen horizontal erstrecken. Die obere und die untere Strebe sind mittels einer im Wesentlichen vertikalen vorderen Strebe miteinander verbunden.The side frame has a substantially U-shaped form in the side view. For this purpose, it comprises an upper and a lower strut, which are arranged parallel to each other and extend substantially horizontally. The upper and lower struts are interconnected by means of a substantially vertical front strut.
An dem hinteren Bereich sind die beiden Streben über eine Radlagerstrebe miteinander gekoppelt. Die Radlagerstrebe ist dabei mittels eines Aufnahmeelements an der oberen Strebe gelagert, während die Befestigung an der unteren Strebe direkt erfolgt.At the rear area, the two struts are coupled together via a wheel bearing strut. The wheel bearing strut is supported by a receiving element on the upper strut, while the attachment to the lower strut is direct.
Die
Die Radlagerstrebe ist mit einer Vielzahl von Ausnehmungen versehen, um die Achse eines Hinterrades in unterschiedlichen Positionen montieren zu können. Zur Einstellung der Sitztiefe und zur Anpassung an die Körpermaße eines Rollstuhl-Benutzers ist die Radlagerstrebe in unterschiedlichen Positionen relativ zur Längserstreckung des Seitenrahmens montierbar.The wheel bearing strut is provided with a plurality of recesses for mounting the axle of a rear wheel in different positions. To adjust the seat depth and to adapt to the body dimensions of a wheelchair user, the wheel bearing strut can be mounted in different positions relative to the longitudinal extent of the side frame.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Rollstuhlrahmen der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welcher bei einfachem Aufbau und einfacher, kostengünstiger Herstellbarkeit universell anwendbar ist und leicht montiert werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a wheelchair frame of the type mentioned, which is universally applicable with a simple structure and simple, cost manufacturability and can be easily assembled.
Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmalskombination des Hauptanspruchs gelöst, die Unteransprüche zeigen weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung.According to the invention the object is achieved by the feature combination of the main claim, the subclaims show further advantageous embodiments of the invention.
Erfindungsgemäß ist somit vorgesehen, dass die obere Strebe profiliert ausgebildet ist und dass das Aufnahmeelement mit einer profilierten Ausnehmung zur passenden Aufnahme und Durchführung der oberen Strebe versehen ist.According to the invention it is thus provided that the upper strut is formed profiled and that the receiving element is provided with a profiled recess for fitting receiving and implementing the upper strut.
Der erfindungsgemäße Rollstuhlrahmen zeichnet sich durch eine Reihe erheblicher Vorteile aus.The wheelchair frame according to the invention is characterized by a number of significant advantages.
Durch die Profilierung der oberen Strebe sowie der Ausnehmung des Aufnahmeelements ist eine Verdreh- oder Verkippsicherung der Anbauelemente gewährleistet, die den gesamten Aufbau des Rollstuhlrahmens wesentlich erleichtert und die Kraftübertragung optimiert. Weiterhin ergibt sich hierdurch eine höhere Steifigkeit des gesamten Rollstuhlrahmens, welche wiederum dazu führt, dass die einzelnen Bauelemente mit einem geringeren Gewicht und mit geringeren Kosten herstellbar sind, als dies beim Stand der Technik möglich ist.Due to the profiling of the upper strut and the recess of the receiving element a twisting or Verkippsicherung the attachments is guaranteed, which greatly facilitates the entire structure of the wheelchair frame and optimized power transmission. Furthermore, this results in a higher rigidity of the entire wheelchair frame, which in turn means that the individual components can be produced with a lower weight and at lower costs than is possible in the prior art.
Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Vereinfachung der Montage, da sich die Kippsicherheit und Verdrehsicherheit der Anbauelemente relativ zu der oberen Strebe durch die Profilierung ergibt und nicht durch zusätzliche Montagemaßnahmen, wie etwa Passbohrungen, Klemmsitze oder Ähnliches, realisiert werden kann.This results in a simplification of the assembly, since the tilting and anti-rotation of the attachments relative to the upper strut results from the profiling and not by additional installation measures, such as fitting holes, clamping seats or the like, can be realized.
Der erfindungsgemäße Rollstuhlrahmen eignet sich für unterschiedlichste Rollstuhlkonstruktionen, beispielsweise für Standardrollstühle, Leichtgewichtsrollstühle oder Aktivrollstühle. Durch diese universelle Anwendbarkeit ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, mit nur einem Rahmen und einer Schere unterschiedlichste Rollstühle zu realisieren. Dies führt zu geringeren Herstellungs- und Lagerkosten. Es ist somit eine modulare Rollstuhlrahmen-Konstruktion möglich.The wheelchair frame according to the invention is suitable for a wide variety of wheelchair constructions, for example for standard wheelchairs, lightweight wheelchairs or active wheelchairs. This universal applicability makes it possible to realize a wide variety of wheelchairs with only one frame and a pair of scissors. This leads to less Production and storage costs. Thus, a modular wheelchair frame construction is possible.
Durch die einfache Ausgestaltung des Seitenrahmens ist es möglich, standardisierte Beinstützen oder Ähnliches einzusetzen, insbesondere da sich die vordere, rohrförmige Strebe vertikal erstreckt. Es versteht sich, dass der Rollstuhlrahmen in üblicher Weise mit rohrförmigen Streben aufgebaut sein kann.Due to the simple configuration of the side frame, it is possible to use standardized leg supports or the like, in particular since the front, tubular strut extends vertically. It is understood that the wheelchair frame can be constructed in the usual way with tubular struts.
Erfindungsgemäß kann die Schere aufgeschoben werden, sodass keine weiteren Halteelemente für die Schere notwendig sind.According to the invention, the scissors can be postponed, so that no further holding elements for the scissors are necessary.
Es ist vorgesehen, dass die obere Strebe abgeflacht ausgebildet ist. Hierdurch kann die gewünschte Profilierung kostengünstig und passgenau hergestellt werden.It is envisaged that the upper strut is formed flattened. As a result, the desired profiling can be produced inexpensively and accurately.
Das Aufnahmeelement ist auf der oberen Strebe verschiebbar, um die unterschiedlichen Sitztiefen und Bauvarianten realisieren zu können.The receiving element is displaceable on the upper strut in order to realize the different seat depths and construction variants.
Ein Innenprofil ist teleskopisch in der oberen Strebe gelagert. Dieses ist Weise passend zu dem Querschnitt der oberen Strebe ausgebildet, sodass auch das Innenprofil verdrehgesichert ist. Hierdurch ist es möglich, an dem Innenprofil ein Lagerelement für ein Seitenteil zu befestigen.An inner profile is mounted telescopically in the upper strut. This is way adapted to the cross section of the upper strut, so that the inner profile is secured against rotation. This makes it possible to attach to the inner profile of a bearing element for a side part.
Die obere Strebe dient mit ihrer Profilierung in günstiger Ausgestaltung der Erfindung zur Lagerung einer Bremse, welche somit ebenfalls verdrehgesichert ist.The upper strut is used with their profiling in a favorable embodiment of the invention for supporting a brake, which is thus also secured against rotation.
Durch die verdrehgesicherte Lagerung des Aufnahmeteils ist es möglich, direkt an diesem ein Rückenrohr zu lagern. Weiterhin kann das Aufnahmeelement in bevorzugter Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dazu dienen, einen hinteren Bereich eines Sitzrohres zu lagern. Mit der Rahmenkonstruktion lässt sich sowohl ein Selbstfahrrollstuhl als auch ein Schieberollstuhl realisieren.Due to the non-rotating mounting of the receiving part, it is possible to store directly on this a back tube. Furthermore, the receiving element may serve in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a rear portion of a seat tube to store. With the frame construction, both a self-propelled wheelchair and a sliding wheelchair can be realized.
