Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wheelchair with at least one braking device for braking a wheel of the wheelchair with a brake lever which engages with a mechanism by which a braking element in a freewheeling position in which the wheel is not braked by the braking element, and in a locking position can be brought, in which the wheel is braked by the brake element, wherein the brake lever is folded down.
  • Such a wheelchair is for example from the US 3,869,146 A known.
  • the wheelchair disclosed herein is a foldable wheelchair. So that the brake lever does not protrude from this in the folded position of the wheelchair, it is designed hinged.
  • the brake element which may be formed, for example, as a fixed to a round lever pressing element, pressed against the drive tire of the wheelchair force and thus blocks further rotation of the wheel.
  • Such a brake device works for example according to the toggle lever principle.
  • a lever mechanism is fixed to a brake adapter.
  • Brake and round levers are through an intermediate lever connected with each other. The brake lever is thus engaged with a mechanism by which the brake member can be brought into a freewheeling or a locking position.
  • the disadvantage is that in this case, the brake lever, the seat of the wheelchair towers above and so a translation of the wheelchair user, either with or without the help of a second person impeded.
  • the effort required to translate is increased, since always the brake lever must be overcome with or unintentional opening of the brake can be done during translation. This makes it difficult for the wheelchair user to leave his wheelchair without assistance.
  • the EP 0 673 824 A1 discloses a sports wheelchair used in disabled sports.
  • Sports wheelchairs differ from everyday wheelchairs in that they have a rigid frame construction and have no parking brake, as this represents a risk of injury to teammates in team sports.
  • a parking brake is disclosed, which can be pivoted when using the wheelchair during sports simply inward and thus a risk of injury is excluded. When the brake is swung away, it can no longer serve as a parking brake, which is not necessary with a sports wheelchair in use.
  • the DE 101 48 654 A1 discloses an electric motor driven wheelchair with a belonging to the electric motor magnetic brake, as a parking brake functions and is deactivated when the electric motor is switched on.
  • the lever between a rest position and a working position is pivotable so that it rests in the rest position to save space on the electric motor and the operator offers the largest possible lever arm in the working position.
  • the invention is based on the object of improving a generic wheelchair with at least one braking device in such a way that translating the wheelchair user out of or out of his wheelchair is simplified.
  • the invention solves this problem in that in a generic wheelchair, the brake lever in the freewheeling position is rigidly coupled to the mechanism and is folded down and, if the brake element is in the locked position, can be brought to fold with the mechanism disengaged.
  • the brake lever advantageously no longer protrudes upward beyond the seat surface of the wheelchair, so that it is no longer in the way when the wheelchair user is moving into or out of his wheelchair. This ensures that it is easier for the wheelchair user to leave his wheelchair or sit in it without outside help.
  • the brake lever mechanism is designed so that the brake lever can only be folded down when the brake element is in the locked position.
  • the brake element from the freewheeling position in the locking position by a pivotal movement of the brake lever about a pivot axis A can be brought.
  • the brake lever is pivoted, for example, to a first stop in the direction of travel about a screw point through which the pivot axis A extends.
  • the brake element which may be designed, for example, as a brake pin, moves against the direction of travel in the direction of the tire profile.
  • the mechanism which is, for example, a toggle mechanism, then in a locked state.
  • the locking position is realized via a stop in a brake housing, against which the brake lever strikes.
  • the brake lever is now pivoted in the other direction about the pivot axis A.
  • the brake lever is in particular by a translational movement perpendicular to the pivot axis A with the mechanics disengaged.
  • the brake lever is thus in a movement away from the pivot axis A away from the mechanics.
  • a slot can be provided in the brake lever to make this translational movement with respect to the pivot axis A possible.
  • the braking device has a bolt which cooperates with a dedicated link guide such that it is inserted into the slotted guide when the brake lever is disengaged from the mechanism. This happens, for example, in the translational movement of the brake lever perpendicular to the pivot axis A.
  • This link guide with the bolt running in it secures the brake lever against unintentional twisting during disengagement with the mechanism.
  • a limit stop is provided, on which the bolt is applied when the brake lever is in the folded position.
  • the bolt is applied when the brake lever is in the folded position.
  • the pivoting movement about the pivot axis A of the brake lever can be moved by the bolt running in the slide guide only in this pivoting direction.
  • Accidental release of the brake device is thus safely excluded.
  • the pivoting movement of the bolt which is advantageously formed integrally with the brake lever, guided by the slotted guide in the direction of the end position stop.
  • the slotted guide can narrow in the direction of the limit stop.
  • the brake lever is fixed in its Umklappposition.
  • the brake lever is placed under pretension by a force element provided for this purpose in the folded-over position. This prevents unwanted noise.
  • a smooth translation of the wheelchair user is ensured.
  • Unintentional opening of the brake device, in which the brake element is brought into the freewheeling position, during the transmission process is excluded by the folding of the brake lever.
  • the brake device can not be opened with a folded brake lever.
  • the force element which may be a rubber ring or a spring element, for example, with which the brake lever is placed in the folded position under bias, the brake lever snaps when swinging back from the folded position to the closed position. As a result, a wrong operation of the brake device is prevented and prevents unwanted rattling of the brake lever in the folded state. If, for example, rubber rings are used as force elements, they are easily replaceable and inexpensive.
  • two mirror-image designed braking devices are provided in a wheelchair.
  • a separate braking device is provided for each drive wheel of the wheelchair. This ensures that the transfer of the wheelchair user works smoothly on both sides.
  • FIG. 1 a shows a braking device 32 for a wheelchair according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the brake device 32 has a brake mount 2, via which the brake device 32 to a wheelchair is fastened.
  • a braking element 4 is located in FIG. 1 a in the freewheeling position. It is arranged on a round lever 6.
  • the brake device 32 further comprises a brake lever 8, which is engaged with a mechanism by which the brake member 4 can be brought from the freewheeling position to the locking position.
  • the brake lever 8 is connected via a connecting part 10 with the rotary lever 6, on which the brake element 4 is arranged.
  • the in the FIGS. 1a to 1d Braking device 32 shown additionally has a bearing part 12 on which the individual elements of the brake device 32 are mounted.
  • FIG. 1b shows the brake device 32 from FIG. 1a in which the brake lever 8 to one in the FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, not shown pivot axis A has been pivoted in the direction of travel.
  • the rotary lever 6 is moved via the connecting part 10, where the brake element 4 is located. This is compared to FIG. 1 a much further to the right, and thus on the tire has been moved.
  • the brake element 4 is in the locking position. It is force applied to the wheel 28 of the wheelchair pressed and thus blocks further rotation of the wheel 28th
  • Figure 1c shows the brake device 32 from the FIGS. 1 a and 1b, in which the brake element 4 is still in the locked position. Across from FIG. 1b was in Figure 1c the brake lever 8 by a translational movement perpendicular to the pivot axis A, not shown, brought out of engagement with the mechanics and folded. This is possible because the brake lever 8 has a slot 14.
  • Figure 1d shows the situation Figure 1c in which the brake lever 8 has been brought into the folded-over position. This is done by a further pivoting movement about the pivot axis A and ensures that the brake lever 8 in the wheelchair mounted state of the brake device 32 is no longer extends beyond the wheelchair frame 30 and the seat of the wheelchair. Thus, the brake lever 8 when moving the wheelchair user into the wheelchair in or out of it is no longer an obstacle.
  • the brake element 4 remains in the FIGS. 1b to 1d in the locked position, so that unintentional rolling away of the wheelchair is safely avoided.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2c show various sections through the braking device 32 from the FIGS. 1a to 1d
  • FIG. 2a shows a brake holder 2, on which the brake housing 16 is arranged.
  • a lever mechanism is arranged at two attachment points 18.
  • the in FIG. 2a left screw point simultaneously forms the pivot axis A.
  • a brake lever 8 At him the lower part of a brake lever 8 is arranged. At the in FIG. 2a right screw point is a round lever 6 is arranged. Both are connected to each other via a connecting part 10. On round lever 6 is a braking element 4, which in the FIGS. 2a to 2c in freewheeling position.
  • FIG. 2b shows a further section through the braking device 32.
  • the brake lever 8 is pivotally mounted about the pivot axis A, which extends through a slot 14 in the brake lever 8. Via a connecting part 10, a movement of the brake lever 8 is transmitted to the rotary lever 6 and thus to the brake element 4.
  • Figure 2c shows a further section through a brake device 32, in which the brake element 4 is in freewheeling position.
  • a force element 20 is shown, by the brake lever 8 can be acted upon with a bias to bias this easily.
  • the force element 20 is slightly cocked.
  • FIGS. 3a to 3c are the cuts and views of the FIGS. 2a to 2c shown in the FIGS. 3a to 3c the brake lever 8 has been pivoted about the pivot axis A, so that the brake element 4 is in the locking position.
  • the brake lever 8 in the FIGS. 3a to 3c pivoted to the left about the pivot axis A, and transmit this movement via the connecting part 10 to the rotary lever 6 and thus the brake element 4.
  • This in Figure 3c shown force element 20 is still slightly biased in this position.
  • the brake lever 8 and the round lever 6 are preferably mounted on plastic plain bearings, so that a low-friction movement of the mechanism is possible.
  • the brake lever 8 is additionally connected to the brake housing 16 by way of a second force element, which is not shown in the figures, in order to increase the braking comfort and the operating safety.
  • FIGS. 4a to 4c show the situation of FIGS. 3a to 3c , with the difference that the brake lever 8 has been moved by a translational movement perpendicular to the pivot axis A. This movement is made possible by a slot 14 which is provided in the brake lever 8.
  • a bolt 22 is inserted into a slotted guide 24.
  • the brake lever 8 is brought out of engagement with the connecting part 10, so that an accidental opening of the brake device 32 is excluded.
  • This in Figure 4c shown force element 20 which is formed in the embodiment shown as a rubber ring is tensioned by the pulling movement of the brake lever 8 and exerts a tensile force on the brake lever 8.
  • FIGS. 5a and 5b show the situation from the FIGS. 4a and 4b , wherein now the brake lever 8 has been brought into its folded position.
  • the bolt 22 is in the slotted guide 24 in the in FIG. 5a shown embodiment wandered to the right and is located at an end position stop 26. Is the brake lever 8 in its folded position, as in the FIGS. 5a and 5b shown, the bolt 22 abuts the end position stop 26.
  • FIG. 4a It is shown that the slotted guide 24 narrows towards the end position stop 26.
  • the brake lever 8 is fixed in its Umklappwolf, so that there is no unwanted noise and accidental provision is safely avoided.
  • a braking device 32 shown it is possible to fold the brake lever 8 so that it does not protrude over a wheelchair frame 30 and the seat of the wheelchair. At the same time it is reliably prevented that the brake element 4 is brought inadvertently from the locking position to the freewheeling position. An unintentional folding back of the brake lever 8 is avoided by the end position stop 26 of the slotted guide 24 and the constriction and the force element 20, which acts on the brake lever 8 in its Umklappposition with a force.
  • FIG. 6 shows a wheelchair according to an embodiment of the present invention in a side view. It has two large wheels 28, of which only one is shown for clarity.
  • a braking device 32 is arranged, the brake lever 8 in FIG. 6 pointing upwards.
  • the brake element 4 is in freewheeling position.
