Definitions
- the invention relates to a wheelchair, in particular an active wheelchair.
- Active wheelchairs which are in particular so-called rigid frame wheelchairs, in contrast to folding wheelchairs, are intended for users who operate the wheelchair predominantly themselves, thus actively. These wheelchairs are very demanding in terms of adaptability to the Patients, especially with regard to its position to the rear axle.
- the shoulder should be positionable over the axis of the drive wheels. This requires that the rear axle and seat, thus horizontal seat cushion and backrest, must be horizontally adjustable against each other. But it also plays the seat angle relative to the horizontal for the active position a major role and must be individually adjustable. As a rule, the rear seat edge is lower than the seat leading edge.
- connection adapter for frame tubes, seat support, which are also usually also pipes, and rear axle are known.
- the active wheelchair "Blizzard" by the company Otto Bock (www.ottobock.de of May 15, 2008) clearly shows a milled part, which establishes the connection from the seat tube to the rear axle.
- the seat tube is at the same time frame tube on which z. B. the steerable front wheels are mounted.
- the milled part is moved on the seat tube / frame tube and clamped thereon.
- the wheelbase and seat angle are changing.
- the seat angle to the horizontal is set by offsetting the rear axle on the milled part. This simultaneously changes the angle of the frame tube on which the front wheels are mounted so that they would have to be readjusted for vertical alignment of the steering fork axis.
- a corresponding device in this case for clamping the round axle bearing in the steering fork mount, is always present in such wheelchairs.
- These adjustments and adjustments are complex and often the steering forks are not set correctly.
- the invention proposes a wheelchair, in particular active wheelchair, with connection adapters, which are connected to side struts of a chassis of a rear axle and seat mounts for a seat of the wheelchair, wherein the respective connection adapter has a circular arc-shaped contour for receiving a seat receiver with a corresponding circular arc-shaped contour.
- the respective connection adapter is provided in its upper region with a recess which has the circular-arc-shaped contour and it is the seat receiving in its lower region provided with the circular arc-shaped contour. Weight forces of the person sitting on the wheelchair are thus introduced directly via the respective seat receptacle in the associated connection adapter.
- connection adapters for adjusting a wheelbase on the side struts are displaced.
- connection adapter is mounted in a height-adjustable manner in the rear axle.
- respective seat mount should be height-adjustable be mounted in the connection adapter or the seat to be height-adjustable stored in the seat mounts. It is also advantageous if the seat is mounted horizontally adjustable in the seat mounts. Through these measures, the wheelchair can be optimally adapted to the ergonomic conditions of the wheelchair users.
- the respective seat receptacle is expediently substantially plate-shaped. It is formed by at least one plate, in particular by the plate and a mounted in this bracket for supporting the seat.
- the seat receptacle can be produced particularly easily and it may have additional functions by special design, in particular by providing the plate with slots and holes, apart from the actual function of recording the seat.
- the bracket is mounted in at least one slot or in slots.
- the plate has at least two parallel slots.
- the plate In the longitudinal direction of the oblong hole or in the longitudinal direction of the oblong holes is thus a substantially horizontal Relatiwer ein of bracket and plate, therefore, a relative adjustment of seat and seat mounts possible. It is also conceivable to make the plate so that it has at least two parallel slots. This makes it possible to position the retaining plate at different height level.
- connection adapter consists of two halves separated perpendicular to the rear axle. This design of the connection adapter makes it possible to arrange functional parts between the two halves, to position them differently there and to connect or latch them.
- connection adapter for fixing the seat receiving at least one opening for receiving a clamping element or a locking unit.
- clamping element makes it possible to fix the seat receptacle with respect to the connection adapter in any position of the seat receptacle while the locking unit permits the seat receptacle to be fixed in one of various defined positions.
- the seat receptacle in particular in the lower region, at least one extending over a circular arc slot for seat angle adjustment, wherein the slot coincides with at least one screw hole and at least one opening for a clamping unit.
- the seat receptacle in particular in the lower region, arranged over a circular arc, having a plurality of holes for latching with an adapter-side locking.
- connection adapter in particular a half of the adapter, has a recess for receiving a circular arc-shaped guide rail.
- This guide rail is ideally suited to absorb the relatively high forces that are introduced via the person sitting on the wheelchair in the seat.
- the guide rail is preferably metal.
- the connection adapter consists in particular of plastic.
- This design of the bearing rail mounted in the recess of the connection adapter makes it possible to accommodate and guide the seat mounts particularly easily.
- the guide rail passes through an arcuate groove of the seat receptacles. This groove of the seat receptacle is significantly longer than the guide rail, so that the guide rail between the two ends of the slot of the seat receptacle can be moved and thereby represent different angles of inclination of the seat.
- the seat receptacle with respect to the connection adapter by an angle of up to 50 °, in particular by an angle to the horizontal of -5 ° to + 15 ° or -5 ° to + 45 ° is pivotable.
- the use of the wheelchair as an active wheelchair is preferred. If it is not an active wheelchair is preferably the larger Winkelverstell Scheme provided.
- connection adapter 6 preferably consist of two adapter halves, the outer adapter half 6a and the inner adapter half 6b.
- the separation plane is perpendicular to the rear axle 9 and preferably through the center line of the side struts 5.
- the adapter halves 6a and 6b each have a diameter of the side struts 5 corresponding recess 10.
- the rear axle 9 is received in the connection adapters 6 by means of position adapters 11 below the side struts 5. Row of holes 12 in the adapter halves 6a and 6b allow the height adjustment of the rear axle.
- the seat mounts 7 and 8 are received above the side struts 5 in the kausadaptern 6 and are rotatably mounted therein.
- the adapter halves 6a and 6b have in their upper region of the plate thickness corresponding and circular arc-shaped recesses 13.
- the seat mounts 7 and 8 likewise have an arcuate contour 14 in their lower region.
- the pivot point MP corresponds to the center of the circle. This center MP should come as close as possible to the center of gravity of the patient-seat system.
- an adapted seat 17 can be adjusted horizontally with respect to the rear axle 9 in order to be able to set an optimum position, in particular for active driving, without changing the geometry of the chassis.
- two sets of slots 15 are mounted one above the other.
- connection adapter 6 can be moved to the side struts 5 corresponding to the holes 18. It would also be conceivable a purely non-positive clamping on the side struts.
- the seat mounts 7 are for in the FIGS. 1 to 11 illustrated active wheelchair 1, in which the seat unit is to be set only in a certain, relatively small angle (about -5 ° to + 15 °) relative to the horizontal.
- the seat mounts 7 have in their lower region near and parallel to the arcuate contour 14 two (possibly more, but at least one) through a thin web for the purpose of stabilizing separate radial slots 19, with screw holes 20 in the outer adapter halves 6 a and 21 breakthroughs in the inner adapter halves 6b lie in cover.

- Screws 23 in the screw holes 20 penetrate the radial oblong holes 19 (secure the seat mounts 7) and are screwed into the clamping elements 22, causing them to pull against the seat mounts 7 and clamp against the outer adapter halves 6 a. By loosening the screws 23, the seat mounts 7 are released and can slide in the recesses 13 rotating.
- the radius of the recesses 13 and the contour 14 is selected so that the center MP or the pivot point as close to the center of gravity of the system patient-seat - ie above the seat and before Backrest - to lie down. An exact determination is dispensed with in favor of a simple construction and adjustment.
- the seat mounts 8 are in a wheelchair according to the embodiment of the FIGS. 12 to 19 , thus a sliding wheelchair used when the seat unit is tilted adjustable over a larger angular range (about -5 ° to + 45 °).
- the seat mounts 8 have in their lower area close and parallel to the circular contour 14 a series of radially arranged holes 24 and on one side a radial, about the area of the holes 24 and to the front beyond extending approximately 4 mm deep groove 25.
- a guide rail 26 is mounted with one half in a recess 27 of the inner adapter half 6b and with the other half in the groove 25 of the seat receptacle 8 and prevents jumping out of the seat receptacles 8 from the kausadaptern 6.
- the seat mounts 8 are locked in one of the holes 24 according to the desired adjustment angle of the seat.
- the latches 28 are each preferably screwed into the rear openings 21 of the inner adapter halves 6. The associated release mechanism is not shown for the sake of clarity.
- a seat angle adjustment is made possible without having to change the geometry of the chassis or the position of the center of gravity of the user relative to the rear axle or to change.
- connection adapter 6 need not necessarily be designed in the illustrated form, in which the rear axle 9 is arranged below the side struts 5. Also conceivable is an arrangement above the side struts 5. This would position the seat closer to the rear axle and the user deeper between the drive wheels. Also, the rear axle 9 does not necessarily have to be designed continuously. Drive wheels could also be attached directly to the position adapter 11 detachable or fixed.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Rollstuhl, insbesondere einen Aktivrollstuhl.The invention relates to a wheelchair, in particular an active wheelchair.
Aktivrollstühle, wobei es sich hierbei insbesondere um sogenannte Starrrahmenrollstühle, im Gegensatz zu Faltrollstühlen, handelt, sind für Benutzer gedacht, die den Rollstuhl überwiegend selbst, somit aktiv betreiben. An diese Rollstühle werden hohe Anforderungen bezüglich der Anpassbarkeit an den Patienten, insbesondere hinsichtlich seiner Position zur Hinterachse gestellt. Die Schulter sollte über der Achse der Antriebsräder positionierbar sein. Dies bedingt, dass Hinterachse und Sitz, somit horizontale Sitzauflage und Rückenlehne, horizontal gegeneinander verstellbar sein müssen. Es spielt aber auch der Sitzwinkel gegenüber der Horizontalen für die aktive Position eine große Rolle und muss individuell einstellbar sein. In aller Regel befindet sich die hintere Sitzkante tiefer als die Sitzvorderkante.Active wheelchairs, which are in particular so-called rigid frame wheelchairs, in contrast to folding wheelchairs, are intended for users who operate the wheelchair predominantly themselves, thus actively. These wheelchairs are very demanding in terms of adaptability to the Patients, especially with regard to its position to the rear axle. The shoulder should be positionable over the axis of the drive wheels. This requires that the rear axle and seat, thus horizontal seat cushion and backrest, must be horizontally adjustable against each other. But it also plays the seat angle relative to the horizontal for the active position a major role and must be individually adjustable. As a rule, the rear seat edge is lower than the seat leading edge.
Konstruktionen mit Verbindungsadapter für Rahmenrohre, Sitzträger, wobei es sich hierbei meist ebenfalls um Rohre handelt, und Hinterachse sind bekannt.Constructions with connection adapter for frame tubes, seat support, which are also usually also pipes, and rear axle are known.
Der Aktivrollstuhl "Blizzard" von der Firma Otto Bock (www.ottobock.de vom 15. Mai 2008) zeigt deutlich ein Frästeil, das die Verbindung vom Sitzrohr zur Hinterachse herstellt. Das Sitzrohr ist gleichzeitig Rahmenrohr, an dem z. B. die lenkbaren Vorderräder montiert sind. Zur Verstellung der Hinterachse gegenüber der Rückenlehne wird das Frästeil auf dem Sitzrohr/Rahmenrohr verschoben und darauf festgeklemmt. Dabei verändern sich allerdings der Radstand und Sitzwinkel. Der Sitzwinkel zur Horizontalen wird durch Versetzung der Hinterachse am Frästeil eingestellt. Damit verändert sich gleichzeitig der Winkel des Rahmenrohres, an dem die Vorderräder montiert sind, so dass diese zur vertikalen Ausrichtung der Lenkgabelachse nachgestellt werden müssten. Eine entsprechende Einrichtung, vorliegend zur Klemmung des runden Achslagers in der Lenkgabelaufnahme, ist bei solchen Rollstühlen immer vorhanden. Diese Ver- und Einstellarbeiten sind aufwendig und oft werden die Lenkgabeln nicht korrekt eingestellt. Außerdem ist von Nachteil, dass bei dieser Art der Sitzwinkelverstellung der Drehpunkt in der Achse des Vorderrades liegt und der Schwerpunkt sich bei einer Winkelverstellung somit nach hinten bewegt und die Kippgefahr erhöht.The active wheelchair "Blizzard" by the company Otto Bock (www.ottobock.de of May 15, 2008) clearly shows a milled part, which establishes the connection from the seat tube to the rear axle. The seat tube is at the same time frame tube on which z. B. the steerable front wheels are mounted. To adjust the rear axle relative to the backrest, the milled part is moved on the seat tube / frame tube and clamped thereon. However, the wheelbase and seat angle are changing. The seat angle to the horizontal is set by offsetting the rear axle on the milled part. This simultaneously changes the angle of the frame tube on which the front wheels are mounted so that they would have to be readjusted for vertical alignment of the steering fork axis. A corresponding device, in this case for clamping the round axle bearing in the steering fork mount, is always present in such wheelchairs. These adjustments and adjustments are complex and often the steering forks are not set correctly. In addition, it is disadvantageous that in this type of seat angle adjustment, the pivot point lies in the axis of the front wheel and the center of gravity thus moves backwards at an angle adjustment and increases the danger of tipping.
Der Rollstuhl "Knuffi OI" von der Firma Sorg (www.sorgrollstuhltechnik.de vom 15. Mai 2008) ist ein Aktivrollstuhl für Kinder und Jugendliche. Er weist Verbindungsadapter in Form von Blechzuschnitten auf, die mit der Hinterachse verschweißt sind. An diesen - vertikal nach oben gerichteten - Blechzuschnitten sind sowohl die Rahmenteile des Fahrgestells als auch Elemente des Sitzes montiert. Eine Sitzwinkelverstellung ist gar nicht oder nur sehr begrenzt über die Kombination von Hinterrad- und Vorderradgrößen möglich. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht in der Schweißkonstruktion Blechzuschnitte-Achsrohr, die in jeder Sitzbreite (üblicherweise von ca. 20 cm bis ca. 40 cm in 2 cm-Schritten) hergestellt werden muss.The wheelchair "Knuffi OI" by the company Sorg (www.sorgrollstuhltechnik.de of May 15, 2008) is an active wheelchair for children and adolescents. He has connection adapter in the form of sheet metal blanks, which welded to the rear axle are. On these - vertical upward - sheet metal blanks, both the frame parts of the chassis and elements of the seat are mounted. A seat angle adjustment is not possible or only very limited on the combination of rear and front wheel sizes. Another disadvantage is the welded construction Blechgeschnitte-Achsrohr, which must be produced in each seat width (usually from about 20 cm to about 40 cm in 2 cm increments).
Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Rollstuhl zu schaffen, bei dem die Verstellung der Hinterachse gegenüber der Rückenlehne und eine Sitzwinkelverstellung schnell und einfach vorgenommen werden können, ohne die Geometrie des Fahrgestells oder die Position des Schwerpunktes des Patienten gegenüber der Hinterachse verändern zu müssen bzw. zu verändern. Des Weiteren sollen die Einstellungen des Radstandes und die Höhe des Sitzes gegenüber der Hinterachse möglich sein.It is an object of the invention to provide a wheelchair in which the adjustment of the rear axle relative to the backrest and a seat angle adjustment can be made quickly and easily, without having to change the geometry of the chassis or the position of the center of gravity of the patient relative to the rear axle or to change. Furthermore, the settings of the wheelbase and the height of the seat relative to the rear axle should be possible.
Die Erfindung schlägt einen Rollstuhl, insbesondere Aktivrollstuhl vor, mit Verbindungsadaptern, die mit Seitenstreben eines Fahrgestells einer Hinterachse und Sitzaufnahmen für einen Sitz des Rollstuhls verbunden sind, wobei der jeweilige Verbindungsadapter eine kreisbogenförmige Kontur zur Aufnahme einer Sitzaufnahme mit entsprechender kreisbogenförmiger Kontur aufweist.The invention proposes a wheelchair, in particular active wheelchair, with connection adapters, which are connected to side struts of a chassis of a rear axle and seat mounts for a seat of the wheelchair, wherein the respective connection adapter has a circular arc-shaped contour for receiving a seat receiver with a corresponding circular arc-shaped contour.
Vorteilhaft ist der jeweilige Verbindungsadapter in seinem oberen Bereich mit einer Ausnehmung versehen, die die kreisbogenförmige Kontur aufweist und es ist die Sitzaufnahme in ihrem unteren Bereich mit der kreisbogenförmigen Kontur versehen. Gewichtskräfte des auf dem Rollstuhl Sitzenden werden somit direkt über die jeweilige Sitzaufnahme in den zugeordneten Verbindungsadapter eingeleitet.Advantageously, the respective connection adapter is provided in its upper region with a recess which has the circular-arc-shaped contour and it is the seat receiving in its lower region provided with the circular arc-shaped contour. Weight forces of the person sitting on the wheelchair are thus introduced directly via the respective seat receptacle in the associated connection adapter.
Vorzugsweise sind die Verbindungsadapter zur Einstellung eines Radstandes auf den Seitenstreben verschiebbar.Preferably, the connection adapters for adjusting a wheelbase on the side struts are displaced.
Als besonders vorteilhaft wird es angesehen, wenn der jeweilige Verbindungsadapter höhenverstellbar in der Hinterachse gelagert ist. Zudem sollte die jeweilige Sitzaufnahme höhenverstellbar im Verbindungsadapter gelagert sein oder der Sitz höhenverstellbar in den Sitzaufnahmen gelagert sein. Es ist ferner von Vorteil, wenn der Sitz Horizontal verstellbar in den Sitzaufnahmen gelagert ist. Durch diese Maßnahmen lässt sich der Rollstuhl optimal an die ergonomischen Gegebenheiten des den Rollstuhl Nutzenden anpassen.It is considered particularly advantageous if the respective connection adapter is mounted in a height-adjustable manner in the rear axle. In addition, the respective seat mount should be height-adjustable be mounted in the connection adapter or the seat to be height-adjustable stored in the seat mounts. It is also advantageous if the seat is mounted horizontally adjustable in the seat mounts. Through these measures, the wheelchair can be optimally adapted to the ergonomic conditions of the wheelchair users.
Die jeweilige Sitzaufnahme ist zweckmäßig im Wesentlichen plattenförmig ausgebildet. Sie ist durch mindestens eine Platte gebildet, insbesondere durch die Platte und einen in dieser gelagerten Haltewinkel zur Auflage des Sitzes. Durch diese Gestaltung lässt sich die Sitzaufnahme besonders einfach herstellen und es kann die Platte durch besondere Gestaltung, insbesondere durch Versehen der Platte mit Schlitzen und Löchern zusätzliche Funktionen aufweisen, abgesehen von der eigentlichen Funktion der Aufnahme des Sitzes.The respective seat receptacle is expediently substantially plate-shaped. It is formed by at least one plate, in particular by the plate and a mounted in this bracket for supporting the seat. With this design, the seat receptacle can be produced particularly easily and it may have additional functions by special design, in particular by providing the plate with slots and holes, apart from the actual function of recording the seat.
So ist beispielsweise vorgesehen, dass der Haltewinkel in mindestens einem Langloch oder in Langlöchern gelagert ist. Die Befestigung des Haltewinkels mit der Platte erfolgt mittels Befestigungsmitteln. Vorzugsweise weist die Platte mindestens zwei parallel angeordnete Langlöcher auf. In Längsrichtung des Langlochs bzw. in Längsrichtung der Langlöcher ist somit eine im Wesentlichen horizontale Relatiwerstellung von Haltewinkel und Platte, demnach eine Relativverstellung von Sitz und Sitzaufnahmen möglich. Es ist ferner denkbar, die Platte so zu gestalten, dass sie mindestens zwei parallel angeordnete Langlöcher aufweist. Dies ermöglicht es, die Halteplatte auf unterschiedlichem Höhenniveau zu positionieren.For example, it is provided that the bracket is mounted in at least one slot or in slots. The attachment of the bracket with the plate by means of fasteners. Preferably, the plate has at least two parallel slots. In the longitudinal direction of the oblong hole or in the longitudinal direction of the oblong holes is thus a substantially horizontal Relatiwerstellung of bracket and plate, therefore, a relative adjustment of seat and seat mounts possible. It is also conceivable to make the plate so that it has at least two parallel slots. This makes it possible to position the retaining plate at different height level.
Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsadapter aus zwei senkrecht zur Hinterachse getrennten Hälften besteht. Diese Gestaltung des Verbindungsadapters ermöglicht es, zwischen den beiden Hälften Funktionsteile anzuordnen, diese dort unterschiedlich zu positionieren und zu verbinden bzw. zu rastieren.According to a particular embodiment of the invention it is provided that the connection adapter consists of two halves separated perpendicular to the rear axle. This design of the connection adapter makes it possible to arrange functional parts between the two halves, to position them differently there and to connect or latch them.
Insbesondere unter diesem Aspekt, aber auch grundsätzlich ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsadapter zum Festlegen der Sitzaufnahme mindestens einen Durchbruch zur Aufnahme eines Klemmelements oder einer Verriegelungseinheit aufweist. Das Klemmelement ermöglicht insbesondere das Festlegen der Sitzaufnahme bezüglich des Verbindungsadapters in einer beliebigen Stellung der Sitzaufnahme während die Verriegelungseinheit das Festlegen der Sitzaufnahme in einer von diversen definierten Stellungen gestattet.In particular, from this aspect, but also in principle it is provided that the connection adapter for fixing the seat receiving at least one opening for receiving a clamping element or a locking unit. In particular, the clamping element makes it possible to fix the seat receptacle with respect to the connection adapter in any position of the seat receptacle while the locking unit permits the seat receptacle to be fixed in one of various defined positions.
Vorzugsweise weist die Sitzaufnahme, insbesondere im unteren Bereich, mindestens ein sich über einen Kreisbogen erstreckendes Langloch zur Sitzwinkelverstellung auf, wobei das Langloch sich mit mindestens einem Schraubloch und mindestens einem Durchbruch für eine Klemmeinheit deckt. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Alternative ist vorgesehen, dass die Sitzaufnahme, insbesondere im unteren Bereich, über einen Kreisbogen angeordnet, mehrere Löcher aufweist, zur Verrastung mit einer adapterseitigen Verriegelung.Preferably, the seat receptacle, in particular in the lower region, at least one extending over a circular arc slot for seat angle adjustment, wherein the slot coincides with at least one screw hole and at least one opening for a clamping unit. According to a preferred alternative it is provided that the seat receptacle, in particular in the lower region, arranged over a circular arc, having a plurality of holes for latching with an adapter-side locking.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten baulichen Gestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass der Verbindungsadapter, insbesondere eine Hälfte des Adapters, eine Ausnehmung zur Aufnahme einer kreisbogenförmigen Führungsschiene aufweist. Diese Führungsschiene ist bestens geeignet, die relativ hohen Kräfte, die über den auf dem Rollstuhl Sitzenden in den Sitz eingeleitet werden, aufzunehmen. Unter diesem Aspekt besteht die Führungsschiene vorzugsweise auf Metall. Der Verbindungsadapter besteht insbesondere aus Kunststoff. Diese Gestaltung der in der Ausnehmung des Verbindungsadapters gelagerten Führungsschiene ermöglicht es, die Sitzaufnahmen besonders einfach aufzunehmen und zu führen. So ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Führungsschiene eine kreisbogenförmige Nut der Sitzaufnahmen durchsetzt. Diese Nut der Sitzaufnahme ist deutlich länger als die Führungsschiene, so dass die Führungsschiene zwischen den beiden Enden des Langlochs der Sitzaufnahme verschoben werden kann und sich hierdurch unterschiedliche Neigungswinkel des Sitzes darstellen lassen.According to a preferred structural design it is provided that the connection adapter, in particular a half of the adapter, has a recess for receiving a circular arc-shaped guide rail. This guide rail is ideally suited to absorb the relatively high forces that are introduced via the person sitting on the wheelchair in the seat. In this aspect, the guide rail is preferably metal. The connection adapter consists in particular of plastic. This design of the bearing rail mounted in the recess of the connection adapter makes it possible to accommodate and guide the seat mounts particularly easily. Thus, it is preferably provided that the guide rail passes through an arcuate groove of the seat receptacles. This groove of the seat receptacle is significantly longer than the guide rail, so that the guide rail between the two ends of the slot of the seat receptacle can be moved and thereby represent different angles of inclination of the seat.
Es ist insbesondere daran gedacht, dass die Sitzaufnahme bezüglich des Verbindungsadapters um einen Winkel bis zu 50°, insbesondere um einen Winkel zur Horizontalen von -5° bis +15° oder -5° bis +45° schwenkbar ist. Im erstgenannten Fall mit der Schwenkbarkeit um den relativ geringen Winkel ist die Verwendung des Rollstuhls als Aktivrollstuhl bevorzugt. Handelt es sich um keinen Aktivrollstuhl ist vorzugsweise der größere Winkelverstellbereich vorzusehen.It is particularly contemplated that the seat receptacle with respect to the connection adapter by an angle of up to 50 °, in particular by an angle to the horizontal of -5 ° to + 15 ° or -5 ° to + 45 ° is pivotable. In the former case with the pivoting about the relatively small angle, the use of the wheelchair as an active wheelchair is preferred. If it is not an active wheelchair is preferably the larger Winkelverstellbereich provided.

Im Rahmen der nachfolgenden Beschreibung wird auf die gemeinsamen Merkmale der Rollstühle gemäß der beiden Ausführungsformen Bezug genommen, die den Aktivrollstuhl und den Schieberollstuhl zeigen.In the following description, reference is made to the common features of the wheelchairs according to the two embodiments, showing the active wheelchair and the sliding wheelchair.
Veranschaulicht ist der jeweilige Rollstuhl 1 mit zwei Antriebsrädern 2, zwei lenkbaren Vorderrädern 3, einem Fahrgestell 4 mit Seitenstreben 5, daran befestigten und in Längsrichtung verstellbaren Verbindungsadaptern 6 zur Einstellung eines gewünschten Radstandes, Sitzaufnahmen 7 bzw. 8 und Hinterachse 9.Illustrated is the respective wheelchair 1 with two
Die Verbindungsadapter 6 bestehen vorzugsweise aus je zwei Adapterhälften, der äußeren Adapterhälfte 6a und der inneren Adapterhälfte 6b. Die Trennungsebene verläuft senkrecht zur Hinterachse 9 und vorzugsweise durch die Mittellinie der Seitenstreben 5. Zur formschlüssigen Verbindung mit den Seitenstreben 5 weisen die Adapterhälften 6a und 6b jeweils eine dem Durchmesser der Seitenstreben 5 entsprechende Vertiefung 10 auf. Die Hinterachse 9 wird in den Verbindungsadaptern 6 mittels Positionsadaptern 11 unterhalb der Seitenstreben 5 aufgenommen. Lochreihen 12 in den Adapterhälften 6a und 6b ermöglichen die Höhenverstellung der Hinterachse. Die Sitzaufnahmen 7 bzw. 8 werden oberhalb der Seitenstreben 5 in den Verbindungsadaptern 6 aufgenommen und sind darin rotierbar gelagert. Sie sind vorzugsweise plattenförmig ausgebildet. Die Adapterhälften 6a und 6b weisen in ihrem oberen Bereich der Plattenstärke entsprechende und kreisbogenförmige Ausnehmungen 13 auf. Entsprechend dieser kreisbogenförmigen Ausnehmungen weisen die Sitzaufnahmen 7 bzw. 8 in ihrem unteren Bereich ebenfalls eine kreisbogenförmige Kontur 14 auf. Indem die radiale Fläche der kreisbogenförmigen Kontur 14 auf der radialen Fläche der kreisbogenförmigen Ausnehmungen 13 gleitet, bewegen sich die Sitzaufnahmen 7 bzw. 8 rotierend in den Verbindungsadaptern 6. Der Drehpunkt MP entspricht dem Kreismittelpunkt. Dieser Mittelpunkt MP sollte möglichst nahe dem Schwerpunkt des Systems Patient-Sitz kommen.The
Je zwei Langlöcher 15 in den Sitzaufnahmen 7 bzw. 8 nehmen Haltewinkel 16 zur Befestigung von Sitzflächen oder Sitzen 17 in Längsrichtung verschiebbar auf. Somit kann ein adaptierter Sitz 17 horizontal gegenüber der Hinterachse 9 verstellt werden, um eine optimale Position einstellen zu können, insbesondere für das aktive Fahren einstellen zu können, ohne die Geometrie des Fahrgestells zu verändern. Zur zusätzlichen Variation der Sitzhöhen sind zwei Sätze Langlöcher 15 übereinander angebracht.Each two
Zur Einstellung eines bestimmten Radstandes können die Verbindungsadapter 6 auf den Seitenstreben 5 entsprechend der Bohrungen 18 verschoben werden. Denkbar wäre auch eine rein kraftschlüssige Klemmung auf den Seitenstreben.To set a specific wheelbase, the
Dabei bleiben sowohl der Sitzwinkel als auch der horizontale Abstand von Hinterachse 9 zur Rückenfläche des Sitzes 17 erhalten.In this case, both the seat angle and the horizontal distance from the rear axle 9 to the back surface of the
Im Folgenden wird auf die beiden unterschiedlichen Varianten von Sitzaufnahmen 7 und 8 und deren Fixierung in den Verbindungsadaptern 6 eingegangen.In the following, the two different variants of
Die Sitzaufnahmen 7 sind für den in den
Die Sitzaufnahmen 8 werden bei einem Rollstuhl gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den
Durch die winkeleinstellbare bzw. winkelverstellbare Führung und Fixierung der Sitzaufnahmen 7 bzw. 8 in den Verbindungsadaptern 6 wird eine Sitzwinkelverstellung ermöglicht, ohne die Geometrie des Fahrgestells oder die Position des Schwerpunktes des Benutzers gegenüber der Hinterachse verändern zu müssen bzw. zu verändern.Due to the angle-adjustable or angle-adjustable guidance and fixing of the seat mounts 7 and 8 in the
Die Verbindungsadapter 6 müssen nicht zwangsläufig in der dargestellten Form ausgelegt sein, bei der die Hinterachse 9 unterhalb der Seitenstreben 5 angeordnet ist. Denkbar ist auch eine Anordnung oberhalb der Seitenstreben 5. Dadurch würde die Sitzfläche näher zur Hinterachse und der Benutzer tiefer zwischen den Antriebsrädern positioniert. Auch muss die Hinterachse 9 nicht zwangsläufig durchgehend ausgelegt sein. Antriebsräder könnten auch direkt an die Positionsadapter 11 abnehmbar oder fix befestigt werden.The
