Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wheelchair with a frame, a arranged within the frame seat, two mounted on each axis in a respective fitting drive wheels, each fitting is mounted in at least one lintel whose thickness changes over its circumference, and each fitting detachably attached to the frame, and with at least one steerable front wheel.
  • the frame of a wheelchair consists essentially of two lateral frame parts, which are bent from a tube and connected by cross braces.
  • a fitting is ever used, in which a rear wheel (drive wheel) can be used with its axis and screwed there.
  • the wheel axles In order to improve the maneuverability and the wheelchair's ability to turn, the wheel axles must not be horizontal (0 degree camber), but must be at an angle so that the wheels are inclined to the vertical and take a positive camber.
  • the fitting is inserted obliquely by means of the lintel with the angle predetermining the camber angle in the lateral frame part.
  • the seat tilt In order to adapt the wheelchair to the individual needs of its user, among other things, the seat tilt must be able to be changed.
  • the seat In the wheelchair described above, the seat is rigidly connected to the side frame members and the cross members, so that a tilt adjustment can only take place in that the entire frame is tilted, which by the use of wheels with a larger or smaller diameter or by attaching the Wheels are done in accordance with different height on the frame. If rear wheels are used with a smaller diameter, the frame tilts backward according to the reduced diameter and the seat tilts accordingly.
  • the DE 296 05 439 U1 discloses a wheelchair with a chassis frame having two lateral frame members, each having an upper and a lower frame profile, to each of which a perforated plate for fixed, but releasable anchoring of a received in the wheel hub of the drive wheel and this bearing wheel axle is attached.
  • a wheelchair whose frame has a bearing block having a plurality of bearing bores for selectively disposing the wheels in different horizontal and / or vertical planes.
  • the initially described wheelchair should be improved so that the track of the rear wheels is adjustable.
  • a generic wheelchair is characterized in that the at least one lintel is rotatable over a predetermined area relative to the frame.
  • the fitting is received with the particular preferably two lintel plates in a clamp pivotable relative to the frame.
  • the clamp is bent in a U-shape and is wrapped around a frame part.
  • the clamp is provided on both sides of the frame with two recesses into which corresponding lugs of each disc engage. Due to the different thickness of the discs of the design predetermined camber angle is realized. By a pivoting movement of the clamp then the lintel, or the inclined fitting are twisted, whereby the fore or after track is counteracted.
  • the fitting is preferably clamped with the clamp and the discs via two threaded nuts.
  • the clamp is provided with a circular arc-shaped recess whose end walls serve as stops for the clamp in order to limit the pivoting range of the clamp.
  • the pivoting range of the clamp is preferably 15 °.
  • the clamp is flattened at least on one outer side. On this flattening a spirit level can be placed. Then the clamp is twisted. If exactly the horizontal is set, the toe is 0.
  • the wheelchair consists essentially of the frame 8, which is formed of two lateral frame parts 7, 7 ', which are interconnected via cross members, not shown here, the seat 5 and the footrests 6 wear and the drive wheels 1, 2 and the two steerable Take front wheels 3, 4.
  • the frame parts 7, 7 ' are formed identically and consist of a U-shaped bent tube whose free legs are bolted to a connecting strut 9.
  • the upwardly projecting handles 10 are used, over which the wheelchair can be pushed by an assistant.
  • the legs of the frame parts 7, 7 ' are connected to a plurality of superimposed through holes 12 having struts 11.
  • the through holes 12 are two with each other opposite, beyond the peripheral contour reaching out wells 21 provided.
  • the recesses 21 can cooperate with the latching lugs 16 of the lintel plates 15, 15 a, so that the positioning of the lintel plates 15, 15 a relative to the frame 7 is structurally determined.
  • the rear wheels 1, 2 are rotatably mounted with their axes in a respective through a through hole 12 of the strut 11 passed through fitting 13.
  • the fitting 13 is inserted correspondingly obliquely.
  • the lintel plates 15, 15a which, as Figure 7 can be removed, have no constant thickness over its circumference.
  • the fittings 13 are provided with an external thread, so that from both ends of (not shown) nuts can be screwed and the fitting against the strut 11 can be clamped.
  • the constructionally predetermined camber angle is based on the non-inclined seating position, ie the horizontal arrangement of the frame, as shown in Figure 3.
  • four vertically stacked through holes 12 are provided in the strut 11.
  • the frame 8 tilts towards the rear, causing the seat 5 mitneigt accordingly.
  • Figure 5 shows a greatly exaggerated angular position of the frame part 7.
  • the inclination can be additionally determined by the fact that the wheel diameter is changed.
  • the fittings 13 pivot on a trajectory in space. From the previously set with, for example, 2.5 ° camber, as shown in Figure 1, the toe V 1 .
  • the clamp 14 is provided. This consists of a U-shaped bent sheet metal with the opposing holes 19 and the two provided in each free leg arcuate recesses 18.
  • the holes 19 are provided with two opposite, projecting beyond the circumference recesses 17, which are analogous to the wells 21 and interact with the lugs 15, 15a of the lintels.
  • At least the top of the clamp 14 is provided with a flat 22.
  • the flattening 22 runs parallel to the imaginary line connecting the centers of the recesses 17 with each other.
  • the clamp 14 is placed around the strut 11 and the fittings 13, as described above, inserted.
  • the lintels 15, 15 a are placed on the clamp 14 and the fittings 13 are then screwed.
  • the screw 20 which cooperates with the recesses 18 and is screwed into the strut 11, the clamp 14 is secured against rotation.
  • the screw 20 serves together with the end walls of the recess 18 as a stop for the clamp 14th
  • the clamp 14 is pivoted together with the lintel 15, 15 a, which occupy a fixed position on their lugs 16 to the clamp 14 in the opposite direction and thus the position of the fitting 13 again in the constructive, the camber determining position pivoted back so that the toe V 1 disappears and the 0-track V 0 is.
  • the flattening 22 of the clamp 14 serves to simplify the adjustability.
  • the design predetermined fall is set when the flattening 22 is absolutely horizontal, ie parallel to the tire contact surface S (sheet level in Fig. 1 and 2). For this purpose, a spirit level is placed on the flattening 22. If the horizontal position is reached, the clamp 14 is clamped on the nuts on the fitting 13 and the constructive predetermined camber is also adjusted by inclination of the frame 7, 7 'then.
  • the pivoting of the clamp in an angular range of 15 ° is sufficient to give the design even with strong inclination of the seat reaching, even with strong inclination of the seat to comply with the design prescribed fall of 8 °.
