Definitions

  • the present invention provides an improvement to foldable wheelchairs frames in order to facilitate their handling, especially during folding and unfolding operations, as well as during storage.
  • the object of the invention is a chassis as defined in the appended claims.
  • the frame arrangement which is the subject of the invention is characterized mainly by a linkage having a suitable arrangement and connected by joints to at least one spider and at least one articulated backrest rod even on a chassis frame.
  • This linkage makes it easy to maneuver the wheelchair folding and unfolding by pivoting a cane backrest.
  • Fig. 1 shows a foldable wheelchair frame formed of two sides 1 and 2 each consisting of a rigid rectangular frame with two parallel and horizontal tubular sections 3, 4 connected by front posts 5 and rear 6.
  • the two sides 1 and 2 are maintained parallel to one another but can be brought together or removed by means of a pair of braces 7, 8 also consisting of straight tubular sections pivoting one on the other by means of a vertical axis articulation 9 placed at the center of the length of the braces.
  • the spider 7 is connected to the upright 5 of the sidewall 1 by a cap 10 which surrounds the amount and is, moreover, secured to the spider.
  • the spider 8 carries a hatch 11 which can pivot on the upright 5 of the side 2.
  • this frame comprises a linkage formed of two rods 18, 19 and two control arms 20, 21. These are each fixed to the base of one of the two back canes 22, 23 which allow order and direct the chair. These rods pivot on joints 24, 25 placed according to FIG. 1, between the upright 6 and the bar 3 of each of the flanks 1 and 2. They are coaxial.
  • the front ends of the arms 20 and 21 are articulated by ball joints at the rear end of each of the rods 18, 19 which are hinged themselves at the front, also by ball joints, on the braces 8 and 7.
  • joints of the control arms on the rods, as well as the length of the rods 18, 19 could be adjustable to allow the use of the same frame for chairs of different widths.
  • the position of the joints between rods and braces it will be chosen so that the folding of the canes of the position of the position of FIG. 1, extended position, in the folded position (FIG 3) causes the folding of the frame, the pivoting and sliding connections 12, 13, 14 on the one hand, and 15, 16, 17 on the other hand, moving the rear ends braces on the flanks 1 and 2 towards the rear of the chassis.
  • mounting frames 26, 27 for carrying wheels and frames 28, 29 for front steering wheels can be placed on the sidewalls 1 and 2 at useful locations without hindering the operation of the backrest during the folding of the frame.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 show an intermediate position and the final position of the folding maneuver.
  • the carrying wheels 30 and 31 and the steering wheels 32, 33 are in place.
  • the carrier wheels are doubled by outer circles 34 which are fixed to them coaxially to allow training by hand.
  • Reinforcements 26, 27 integral with the uprights 6 carrying axles 35, 36 for the carrying wheels 30, 31 may be fixed in different ways to the sides 1 and 2 (see Fig. 9, 10, 11).
  • FIG. 3 the skilled person will immediately understand that the described construction allows a maximum reduction of the size of the chair in the folded state and in particular its placement in a small rectangular packaging container.
  • the armatures 26, 27 carrying axles 35, 36 for the pivoting of the carrying wheels, rigidly fixed between the bars 3 and 4 of the sidewalls, behind the extreme position attainable for the sliding connections 12, 13, 14, and 15, 16 17 are not shown in FIG. 3.
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the foldable frame according to the invention.
  • two sides 1 and 2 each consisting of a frame with two horizontal bars 3 and 4 and two end posts 5 and 6.
  • the two braces 7 and 8 are also present, but we see that the pivoting catches 10 and 11 are integral with the rear ends of the braces and provide a pivotal connection with the uprights 6 of the frames, while the front ends of the braces are secured to the uprights 12 and 15 connected to the pivoting slides 13, 14 for the spider 7, and 16, 17 for the cross 8.
  • These sliders are shaped half-cylinders. With this embodiment, the rigidity of the frame is increased at the rear, while with the first embodiment, the rigidity is greater at the front.
  • a foldable backrest rod 37 is sufficient to control the opening or folding maneuver.
  • a control arm 38 which extends obliquely downwards and pivots at its lower end on the slider 13 or on a rigid part integral with this slider.
  • the rod 37 is articulated at its lower end on the horizontal bar 3 in the vicinity of the hatch 10, it is understood that its folding actuates the spider 7 and therefore closes the frame.
  • the spider is no longer attached to the frame from the front but from the rear, that is to say around the tube 6, which reverses the direction of rigidity of the frame.
  • Fig. 5 shows some details of execution.
  • the hinge frame 39 of the cane 37 on the bar 3 can be moved according to the needs, more or less far from the hatch 10. This makes it possible to produce depth-adjustable chairs, because if one moves the cane back 37, it increases or reduces the very depth of the chair.
  • the joint 40 between the rod 37 and the control arm 38 is also adjustable. It comprises a slider sliding on the rod 37 and can be blocked by a screw.
  • Fig. 5 shows again, better than FIG. 4, a plastic plate 41 pivoting on the bar 38 and guided or not by the bar 3 according to the desired retraction movement, which can serve as a side guard or armrest, or masking the control arm by improving the aesthetics of the whole.
  • Two other auxiliary devices, namely an automatic locking of the braces 42 and a spring release 43 are explained below with the description of a series of details ( Figures 6 to 11) that can be provided in variants.
  • Fig. 6 shows a first detail which relates to the first embodiment, with lower links 18, 19 connecting the control arms 20, 21 to the braces 7 and 8, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the angle between the backrest rod 23 and the control arm 21 is fixed such that when the control arm is horizontal, that is to say in the alignment of the bar 3, the rod 19 has a position slightly inclined downwards between its articulation on the control arm and its articulation on the spider.
  • the angle between the control arm and the rod is acute, but we see in fig. 6 that it exceeds 180 degrees at the end of the deployment run. This results in a knee effect creating a slight blocking force of the frame in the open position, which is favorable in use.
  • FIG. 7 A second detail concerns the second embodiment.
  • the latch locking device 42 quickly mentioned in connection with FIG. 5 is visible in more detail in FIG. 7.
  • Two plates in superimposed arcs of circles are each fixed under or on one of the crosspieces.
  • One of the plates has a hole and the other carries a button with a rod, biased by a spring, so that when the final position of the braces is reached, the locking rod falls into the hole, this which blocks the device.
  • the button can be easily raised by hand during the folding operation.
  • Fig. 8 further relates to a detail relating to the second embodiment, in the form of an unlocking device 43.
  • a stud 44 in which is mounted a spring with a movable support button 45, is fixed on the lower bar 4 the rigid frame in the vicinity of the end position of the lower slide 14.
  • the stud 44 operates in abutment for the mobile upright 12, which therefore places the spring of the button 45 in the arming position.
  • the spring slightly pushes the upright 12 and the latch plate 42, the latter being prevented from falling back into the locked position.
  • figs. 9, 10 and 11 show different possible variants according to the invention in the execution of the rigid frames constituting the flanks 1 and 2 of the chair and the auxiliary frames which are attached thereto.
  • An advantageous solution is that each armature 26 or 27 which carries the axle of the carrier wheel is assembled with the support of the backrest cane and the amount receiving the fixed axis spider cap.
  • Figs. 9 to 11 show three ways to achieve this assembly on a frame which, unlike the frame of Figs. 1 and 4 comprises profiled upper and lower bars having a different section of a tube.
  • These frames can also be made in the form of separate parts independently fixed on the frames.
