Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and method for adjusting a wheelchair leg rest. More, specifically, the invention relates to a device and a method as disclosed respectively in the preambles of claims 1 and 7.
  • the device according to the invention is an improvement of an existing known solution, and can far more easily be adjusted to the needs of different users as regards adjustment of the leg angle of the leg rest.
  • this is often solved by offering different leg rests mounted at fixed angles. This means that the whole leg rest must be changed in order to change the desired angle.
  • Legs rests that give fixed angles of 70°, 80° or 90°, measured from the horizontal plane down to the leg rest (see Fig. 1 ), are often used.
  • the toothed rack is intended to cooperate with a locking device that is fixed to the other parts of the wheelchair, and the locking device comprises a mechanism in the form of teeth or the like for engagement with the teeth on the toothed rack, and also a mechanism for side shifting the toothed rack so that it disengages from the teeth in the locking device.
  • the locking device comprises a mechanism in the form of teeth or the like for engagement with the teeth on the toothed rack, and also a mechanism for side shifting the toothed rack so that it disengages from the teeth in the locking device.
  • the desired angle for the rest can be adjusted in steps, and once the desired angle has been found, the locking mechanism effects side shifting of the toothed rack so that it re-engages with the teeth in the locking device.
  • the prior art also includes US 4 893 827 A , which describes a wheelchair having an adjustable leg rest.
  • the wheelchair includes a foot rest member with a body having a bracket which slideably accommodates one leg of a two-legged support, the opposite leg of which is slidably accommodated in a tube secured to the bottom of the wheelchair seat. Legs are joined to one another by a pivot to enable the included angle between the legs to be adjusted. This angle is maintained by means of a tubular bracket pivoted to a link fixed on the wheelchair seat and a rod pivoted at one end to a link secured to the leg and having its other end slideably accommodated in the bracket. A set screw reacts between the members and to maintain them in selected positions of adjustment.
  • US 153 478 A discloses a chair having an adjustable back, seat and leg rest. One arcuate part is attached to the leg rest and another is attached to the seat, which is also pivotal. The leg rest may be adjusted by locking encircling clasps or keepers.
  • FIG. 2-4 there is shown an adjustable wheelchair leg rest device 1 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the device 1 comprises a supporting column 2 to the upper end 3 of which is attachable a forward, upper part 4 of a wheelchair and to the lower end 5 of which is attachable a footrest 6.
  • the supporting column 2 further comprises an upper 2' and a lower 2" part which are hinge-connectable to the wheelchair via a pivot joint 7, or the supporting column comprises an upper part (2') and a lower part (2") which are hinge-connected at a pivot joint (7).
  • a first, preferably circular-arc-shaped part 8 having a plurality of adjustment holes 9 arranged along a circular arc with center at the pivot joint 7.
  • the device 1 further comprises a second arc-shaped part (11).
  • a second, preferably circular-arc-shaped part 11 for locking cooperation with the first part 8, a plurality of adjustment holes 9 also being provided in the second part 11 along a similar circular arc as for the first part 8, both arc-shaped parts (8, 9) having the same centre when attached to the wheelchair, where the locking advantageously is effected by a bolt 12 passed through two adjustment holes 9 on their respective parts 8, 11 aligned with each other by turning the lower part 2" of the supporting column 2 about the pivot joint 7, and where the bolt is locked with a nut 13.
  • the angle adjustment of the device 1, as can be seen, is not stepless, but has predetermined angles of, for example, 70°, 80° or 90°, measured from a horizontal plane through the link 7 and down to the second part 2" of the supporting column 2. This can be seen in particular from Figure 2 . Thus, fixed, predefined angles for a user's leg are obtained.
  • the locking bolt 12 is locked in threads provided in the adjustment holes 9 instead of using a locking nut 13.
  • the link 7 is arranged at the junction between the forward, upper part of the wheelchair 4 and the supporting column 2.
