Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wheelchair with double handrail.
  • Wheelchairs are known whose driving wheels are associated with handrails allowing the person occupying the wheelchair to control the movement of the latter by manually actuating one or other of the driving wheels.
  • each drive wheel is connected to a handrail, it is possible to turn the wheelchair in place by operating one of the wheels in one direction and the other in the other.
  • wheelchairs have already been made with two handrails on the same side of the wheelchair, each connected to one of the drive wheels. These two handrails are located on the same side of the chair and have a fixed position in space relative to each other. In this case, the side of the opposite wheel generally has no handrail.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a dual handrail wheelchair arrangement which provides a solution to these problems without requiring individual manufacture of cases in case, and allows series productions with standardized parts.
  • the wheelchair according to the invention comprises the features set forth in the appended claims.
  • the Fig. 1 shows the general appearance of a wheelchair according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • This wheelchair has two drive wheels 1 and 2 mounted coaxially on a drive shaft 3 and disposed on either side of a frame 4 on which a seat with armrests 5 and a backrest 6 are arranged.
  • the wheels 1 and 2 are rear wheels ensuring the drive of the wheelchair while two small steering wheels 7, of which only the left wheel is visible at the Fig. 1 , support chassis 4 at the front.
  • the wheels 1 and 2 are manually controlled by the occupant of the wheelchair while the steering wheels 7 react automatically to the pulses coming from the wheels 1 and 2.
  • a large handrail 8 and a small handrail 9 are mounted coaxially with the shaft 3 and the wheels 1 and 2 on the right side of the chair so as to allow the occupant to order the chair with his right hand only.
  • the frame 4 comprises two rigid rectangular frames 10 and 11 maintained parallel to each other and in vertical positions, the front uprights of these frames serving as pivoting means for bars with vertical axes which are fixed wheel forklift 7.
  • the rear uprights of the frames 10 and 11 are equipped with housings 12 and 13 supporting pads of bearings 14 and 15 in which passes the shaft 3, itself composed of several elements as will be seen later.
  • the housings 12 and 13 are designed so that the pads 14 and 15 can be placed at different heights so that the same type of chair can be adapted to occupants of different sizes. All these elements are also represented in the exploded view of the Fig. 3 where we see the composite assembly of the shaft 3. This assembly of different elements plays an important role in achieving the purpose of the invention in collaboration with the arrangement of the small handrail 9.
  • the wheel 2 comprises a hub 16 whose bore is force-fitted on an outer part of a first element 17 of the shaft 3.
  • This element is a fast disassembly shaft that can be secured in its pivoting position by a nut. 18.
  • the axes of rapid disassembly are known per se; it is therefore not necessary to describe here in detail the element 17. It has after the portion fitted in the hub 16 of the wheel 2 a smooth bearing provided with a lining, engaged in the bearing 15 of the housing 13 and ends with a hexagonal male-shaped bearing, itself engaged freely in a hexagonal female inlet of a first section of a telescopic crossmember 19 comprising two sections engaged one inside the other and connected in rotation while being capable of move longitudinally to allow adjustments to the length of the crossbar.
  • a last element 20 of the shaft 3 is a second axis with rapid disassembly provided with an adjusting nut 21. Its inner end has a hexagonal male shape coupled to the female end of the second section of the cross member 19, 11 then presents a lining engaged in the bearing 14 of the housing 12 and a support bearing two ball bearings of a bearing 22 forming the hub of the wheel 1.
  • the rapid disassembly axis 20 finally has a hexagonal shape male forcibly engaged in a hexagonal female part of a flange 23 having the shape of a bowl with a flat circular flange. This flange holds and holds in place the small handrail 9. Its integrated presence in the assembly of the shaft 3 makes it very easy to change the orientation of the small handrail 9, as will be seen by considering the exposed structures to the Fig. 4 , 5 and 6 .
  • the wheels 1 and 2 comprise metal rims 24 on which are mounted partially filled pneumatic tires 25.
  • the rims of the two wheels carry bars 26 allowing optionally to attach to one or the other wheels of the transverse bars such bars 27 of the wheel 1.
  • These bars connect to the driving wheel 1 the large handrail 8 consists simply of a circular outer ring 34 provided with an inner flange from which the bars 27.
  • Wheels 1 and 2 are connected to the hubs 16 for the wheel 2, and 22 for the wheel 1, by spokes of metal or plastic hung from the eyelets 28.
  • the frames 10 and 11 of the structure 4 of the frame are formed of tubes metal whose upper horizontal elements are equipped with linings 29 fixed on the sidewall and integral with the frames 10 and 11 of the structure 4. It is seen how the bearing pads 14 and 15 are supported by the bo 12 and 13 which, fixed to the frames 10 and 11, allow to place these pads at different heights.
  • the horizontal links between the frames 10 and 11 are not shown. We know that they can be of different types.
  • the bearings 14 and 15 form smooth bearings freely engaged on cylindrical bearings of the axis segments 17 and 20, while the pivoting of the wheels 1 and 2 is ensured on one side by force-fitting the disassembly axis segment. 17 in the bearing 16 and the other by engagement of the segment 20 in the bearings of the bearing 22 of the wheel 1.
  • the small handrail 9 consists of an outer ring 30 in the form of a rigid circle, radial arms 31 for example three in number, and a central plate 32 having the shape of a disc with a central opening adjusted the outer diameter of the bowl-shaped portion of the flange 23.
  • the elements 30, 31, 32 are rigidly assembled, for example by welding, and show ( Fig. 5 ) that the radial arms 31 are slightly inclined relative to the parallel planes defined by the outer ring 30 and the plate 32.
  • the plate 32 is engaged on the flange 23 inside its peripheral flange and fixed by three bolts 33 with braking nuts 33 '.
  • the dimensions are such that the outer ring 30 of reduced diameter relative to the ring 34 of the large handrail 8 is offset axially inwards, which reduces the size of the armchair in width relative to the arrangement reversed ( Fig. 6 ) obtained as already indicated by reversing the small handrail 9 while maintaining its central plate on the inner side of the flange of the peripheral flange 23.
  • the provision of the Fig. 6 thus obtained facilitates the occupant of the chair reciprocal access by the same hand to one or other of the outer rings 30 or 34 of the small or large handrail.
  • the small handrail is fixed and that it is the large handrail that is adjustable. In the same way, we can consider having both adjustable handrails.
  • handrails described above can be made at the choice of the manufacturer on the right side or on the left side of the chair.
