  • a canopy for a wheelchair comprising a hood arranged in use to extend over a seat of the wheelchair and to cover a back and arms of the wheelchair.
  • a wheelchair comprising a cover in accordance with the first or second aspects of the invention.
  • a canopy 10 is shown mounted on a wheelchair 12.
  • the wheelchair 12 is a conventional folding wheelchair having a seat 14, a back 16 and a pair of arms 18.
  • the canopy 10 comprises a frame 20.
  • a hood 22 is supported by the frame 20, and attached to the frame.
  • An attachment system 24 is arranged in use to secure the canopy to the wheelchair so that the hood extends at least partly over the seat 14 of the wheelchair.
  • the hood overhangs the frame, such that the lower edges of the hood extend past the lower edges of the frame, so as to cover the location at which the frame is fixed to the wheelchair.
  • the hood is formed from a waterproof material such as treated cloth or plastics.
  • the hood In use, the hood extends from the back of the wheelchair forwards such that it fully covers the seat of the wheelchair.
  • the hood also extends over the back of the wheelchair and the sides of the wheelchair, so as to cover a substantial part of the back and the arms of the chair.
  • the hood thus substantially encloses a user of a wheelchair seated in the chair on three sides, and the wheelchair user is shielded by the canopy from rain originating, for example blown, from the sides or rear, as well as from above. Furthermore, the hood extends forwardly to a location which is forward of the front edge of the chair, so that the user's legs are also shielded. It will be understood that the words 'forward', 'rear' and 'sides' etc are used to refer to the canopy when mounted on a wheelchair in its normal operation, and are not intended to be limiting.
  • the hood is provided with one or more windows in the form of transparent regions 26, so as to provide the user with visibility on one or more of the enclosed sides.
  • the hood includes two side transparent regions 26a and a rear transparent region 26b.
  • the hood also includes a vent 28, to allow air flow through the hood, so as to prevent excessive condensation occurring within the hood.
  • the vent 28 is located adjacent the rear transparent region 26b, and comprises an aperture adjacent an edge, and in particular the lower edge, of the transparent region.
  • the rear transparent region 26a comprises a flap joined with or fixed to the hood at its upper edge.
  • the vent comprises the aperture defined between the unfixed edge or edges of the flap and the remainder of the hood.
  • One or more closures such as suitably located Velcro TM portions or press studs, hold the vent closed until the user desires to open it.
  • the vent provides an openable window in the hood.
  • the vent also allows the wheelchair user to communicate with another person, such as a friend or carer, who might be pushing the chair. In the event of strong winds, the vent will blow open automatically, allowing wind to pass through the canopy, so that it does not damage the canopy or blow the canopy over.
  • the hood further comprises access regions defined in the sides of the hood, which allow a wheelchair user to access the brake and/or hand wheels of the chair.
  • the access regions are defined by an unfixed portion 30 of the lower edges of the hood, as shown best in Figure 9 .
  • the unfixed portion is defined by the portion of the hood which overhangs the frame.
  • the frame of the canopy is best shown in Figures 2 and 3 .
  • the frame is collapsible, such that it can be moved from a use position shown in Figures 1 and 3 to a stowed position shown in Figure 2 , and back again.
  • the frame comprises a plurality of frame members 32, and in particular an upper frame member 32a, one or more intermediate frame members 32b and a lower frame member 32c.
  • the frame members are pivotally connected so that they can be moved between the stowed and the use positions.
  • the frame members are substantially U-shaped. Each 'U' defines a pair of terminal ends, and the frame members are pivotally connected at those terminal ends. The details of the pivotal connection are shown best in Figure 4 .
  • Figure 4 shows the attachment system 24 of the canopy which in use connects the frame of the canopy to the wheelchair.
  • the attachment system comprises an attachment member 25, a frame securing mechanism 38 and a chair securing mechanism 39.
  • the attachment member has the general form of an elongate bar or plate.
  • the attachment member defines a longitudinal axis 27, and includes a bend or curve, such that the attachment member extends generally parallel to that axis, but crosses the axis.
  • the attachment member has a generally doglegged or Z-shaped appearance.
  • the chair securing mechanism is located at a first end of the attachment member (on a first side of the bend) and the frame securing mechanism is located at a position which is spaced from the chair securing mechanism (and at the other side of the bend), for example at a second end of the attachment member, remote from the first.
  • the chair securing mechanism is spaced from the frame securing mechanism both in a direction which is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the attachment member, and in a direction which is perpendicular to that direction. This has the effect that, in use, the frame securing mechanism is both horizontally and vertically spaced from the chair securing mechanism.
  • the frame is thus fixed to the wheelchair at a position which is both above and outward of the arms of the wheelchair, permitting a user of the chair to use the arms of the chair, and to easily access the brake and/or hand wheels of the chair through the access regions in the hood, without being obstructed by the frame.
  • the frame is pivotally connected to the attachment system at a pivot 34 such that the frame members pivot about a shared axis of rotation 36.
  • a pivot 34 such that the frame members pivot about a shared axis of rotation 36.
  • the pivot 34 also forms part of the frame securing mechanism 38.
  • the frame securing mechanism 38 has the form of a clamp, which comprises a threaded member (the pivot 34) and a clamp member 40 in the form of a turnable handle mounted on the threaded member.
  • the threaded member comprises a cylindrical column having external threads which extends coaxially with the axis of rotation 36.
  • the clamp member has cooperating internal threads, such that it can be screwed onto the threaded member.
  • the threaded member is located on the lower frame member 32c, and passes through pivot apertures 42 defined in the elongate attachment member and the upper frame member 32a.
  • the handle 40 is fitted over the end of the threaded member 34.
  • Rotating the handle in a first direction causes the handle to advance along the threads towards the lower frame member, hence tightening the clamp.
  • Rotating the handle in a second, opposite direction releases the clamp.
  • An engagement member 41 is provided on the upper frame member, and a corresponding locating member 43 is provided on the attachment member 25.
  • the engagement member and locating member are positioned so that when the frame is in the use position those two members engage, thus defining a stop position for the upper frame member.
  • the engagement member is in the form of a protrusion
  • the locating member is in the form of a notch or recess having a complimentary shape.
  • the chair securing mechanism 39 includes a substantially planar member 42, in the form of a plate.
  • the plate is substantially quarter-circular, so that it complements the curve 18a at the terminal end of the wheelchair arm 18.
  • the plate defines a plurality of apertures 44 through which, in use, one or more fastenings are received to hold the attachment system to the wheelchair arm.
  • the fastenings comprise two U-bolts, which are sized so that they can be passed around the arm of the wheelchair and then through the apertures in the plate 42.
  • the U-bolts are secured with nuts (not shown), in a conventional way.
  • Each U-bolt defines a plane (i.e. the plane in which the 'U' lies), and the apertures in the plate are located so that in use the planes of the U bolts lie at different, and in particular right, angles to one another.
  • the plate comprises two pairs of apertures 44a and 44b.
  • the apertures 44a lie on a first line
  • the apertures 44b lie on a second line at right angles to the first line.
  • the canopy is secured to each arm of the wheelchair at two locations which are on either side of the curve 18a in the wheelchair arm. This helps to prevent the canopy from moving with respect to the wheelchair arm.
  • the chair securing mechanism also includes a stabilisation member 46, connected between the plate and the canopy, and in particular between the plate and the attachment member.
  • the stabilisation member includes a flexible line, in this case a chain 48, which is secured at one end to the plate.
  • a hook 50 is provided at the remote end of the chain. The hook is shaped to be received in an eye 52 provided on the attachment member.
  • the stabilisation member helps to prevent the attachment member and the frame twisting with respect to the plate, in the event that wind should catch the canopy.
  • Figures 5 to 8 The operation of the canopy is shown in Figures 5 to 8 .
  • Figure 5 shows the canopy in the stowed position. In this position the wheelchair can be used as normal, with the handles of the chair being accessible through slits provided in the back of the hood, and the brake of the chair being accessible to the user of the chair through the access regions (as shown in Figure 9 ).
  • the canopy In the stowed position the canopy lies folded above the handles of the chair, and does not substantially impinge on the seat area.
  • the lower frame member rests on top of the handles at a location remote from the pivotal connection (see Figure 2 ), providing further stabilisation for the canopy.
  • Figures 6 and 7 show the canopy in intermediate positions between the stowed position of Figure 5 and the use position shown in Figure 8 .
  • the chair In the use position the chair can be used as normal, with the canopy substantially shielding a user of the chair from rain and/or sunshine directed from above, the rear, or the sides.
  • the frame can be made from any suitable material, for example a metal such as steel or aluminium, or plastics.
  • the hood might be made from any suitable water-resistant material, in the event that the canopy is intended to shield from rain, or light-resistant material, in the event that the canopy is intended to shield from sun.
  • suitable materials are cloth, or plastics such as polyvinylchloride (PVC).
  • Figures 10 and 11 show a canopy including a cover 54 arranged in use to close a front region of the hood.
  • the cover is shaped to fit over the front region of the hood, and extend a small way around the sides of the hood, to minimise leakage.
  • the cover is releasably fixed to the hood using a releasable fastening such as press studs.
  • the cover When a user of the wheelchair is seated in the chair, the cover is fixed to the hood so as to extend over the front and/or legs of the user.
  • the cover is formed of a flexible material such as plastics, for example PVC, and is substantially transparent, allowing the user to see through the cover.
  • Figure 11 shows that the canopy may be folded into the stowed position with the cover in place.
  • the cover may be used to protect the seat of the wheelchair when it is not in use.
  • FIGS 12 to 17 show an alternative canopy 110.
  • the alternative canopy 110 shares many features in common with the previously described canopy 10, and so only the differences will be described, for the sake of brevity.
  • the canopy includes a frame 120, a hood 122 supported by the frame 120, and an attachment system 124 for securing the canopy to wheelchair so that the hood extends at least partly over the seat 14 of the wheelchair.
  • the frame 120 and the attachment system 124 are of a different design to the frame 20 and attachment system 24 described above.
  • the frame 120 is generally rectangular in shape, and comprises a plurality of frame members 121.
  • the frame members are pivotally connected, so that the frame can be folded from the use position shown in Figure 14 A through the intermediate position shown in Figure 14B to the stowed position shown in Figure 16 .
  • the frame comprises eight upper frame members 121 a and four lower frame members 121 b.
  • the upper frame members form the roof of the canopy, with the lower frame members supporting the roof and defining the sides of the canopy.
  • the lower frame members are pivotally connected to the upper frame members at hinges 122.
  • the hinges permit a lower frame member to fold from a plane which is substantially parallel to the plane of the upper frame members (in the stowed position) to a plane which is substantially at right angles to the plane of the upper frame members (in the use position).
  • the upper frame members are pivotally connected in pairs. Each pair is arranged to hinge from a position in which the two frame members lie substantially end to end (in the use position), to a position in which the two frame members lie substantially adjacent (in the stowed position). Hinges 123 join the ends of the paired upper frame members.
  • Six outer upper frame members define a square forming the edges of the roof.
  • a central pair of upper frame members supports the centre of the roof.
  • the attachment system 124 comprises a pair of elongate bars 125 having a chair securing mechanism 139 and a frame securing mechanism 138.
  • the chair securing mechanism comprises one or more apertures, in this case two spaced pairs of apertures, through which fastenings such as bolts or screws are passed in use to secure a respective elongate bar 125 to each arm of the chair.
  • the frame securing members include a pair of sockets each of which is shaped to receive a distal end of one of the lower frame members (i.e. the end which is not pivotally connected to the upper frame members). Once located in the socket, the frame member may be held in place by its own weight, or may be fixed in place using a fastening such as a screw or clamp.
  • the sockets are spaced from one another at the respective ends of the elongate bar, to provide stability.
  • the lower frame members are not completely parallel to one another but splay outwardly, such that the roof of the canopy has greater surface area than the seat of the chair.
  • the canopy 110 can be removed from the wheelchair when it is not in use, and conveniently stored in a bag 126, because the frame and hood can both be folded into a compact space.
  • the attachment system 124 may remain bolted to the arms of the chair when the hood is not in use, so that the canopy can be quickly erected in the event of rain.
