Definitions

  • the present patent application for industrial invention relates to an orthopedic wheelchair for disabled with articulated frame.
  • folding wheelchairs are easier to transport for the assistant, they are heavier mainly because of the folding mechanism.
  • Another severe drawback consists in lower rigidity that. In addition to weight, considerably affects the pushing movement, requiring a higher effort from the disabled user.
  • folding wheelchairs are provided with collapsible back that can be disposed above the seat, making a rotation of approximately 90°, and are also provided with articulation device to fold footrests by approximately 90° and/or front wheels under the seat.
  • the front wheels can only have two positions designed by the manufacturer, the first being a (non-operating) position with minimum volume and the second being an operating position.
  • rigid wheelchairs can be divided into two types: “fixed” and “adjustable”.
  • the so-called "fixed” wheelchairs are made to measure for the user and are characterized by better performance in terms of weight and rigidity, although they cannot modify their structure.
  • one important option consists in adjusting the angle between knee and footrest (angle ⁇ ), given the fact that both the longitudinal volume of the wheelchair and the blood circulation of the user's lower limbs depend on this parameter.
  • DE10228287 , US2001/008335 and W02007/099565 disclose a folding wheelchair for disabled comprising: a front frame and a rear frame articulated by means of a device, in such way to mutually fold two frames in non-operating position with minimum volume. Therefore, said wheelchairs are not adjustable during operation, being only able to have two positions: an operating position and a non-operating position with minimum volume.
  • US2007/029857 discloses an orthopedic wheelchair of adjustable type. Said wheelchair comprises a back, a seat and a footrest that are mutually articulated to allow for ergonomic adjustment that can easily adapted to the patient's needs.
  • the frame connected to the front and back wheels of wheelchair is a fixed (not articulated) block. Therefore, such a wheelchair is very bulky when not used.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair that is especially light and is adapted to change the distance between front and back wheels in such way to change the center of gravity of wheelchair along a horizontal axis, allowing wheelchair to have multiple operating positions rapidly and simply.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair that, in addition to achieving the aforementioned purpose, can change the position of seat with respect to frame, in such way to change the center of gravity of seat, and consequently of wheelchair, both along horizontal and vertical axis.
  • Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair that allows the user, who is sitting on it, to adjust position rapidly and autonomously while remaining comfortably seated on wheelchair.
  • articulated frame comprising:
  • the user can change the geometry of frame as desired, in such way that wheelchair can have different cycling features according to operating position of the front half-frame.
  • wheelchair of invention is provided with articulated frame (T) comprising a first rear half-frame (1) and a second front half-frame (2), respectively connected to a pair of back pushing wheels (3) and a pair of front swiveling wheels (4).
  • the first rear half-frame (1) is pivoted to said second front half-frame (2).
  • the second front half-frame (2) also supports a pair of footrests (5) (only shown in Fig. 5 and omitted in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4 for better understanding of attached drawings) where the disabled user can rest his or her feet when sitting on wheelchair.
  • the footrest (5) can vertically translate in the direction of arrows (E) and rotate in the direction of the arrow (F).
  • the peculiarity of the wheelchair of the invention is that it is provided with said articulated frame (T), which allows the pair of half-frames (1, 2) to have different positions, changing inclination of front half-frame (2) with respect to sliding plane (P) of wheelchair. So, the wheelchair can have different operating positions.
  • the front half-frame (2) has a substantially tubular shape and a longitudinal axis (Z).
  • An angle ( ⁇ ) is subtended between longitudinal axis (Z) of said front half-frame (2) and direction (X) parallel to sliding plane (P) of wheelchair and passing through pivoting point of two half-frames.
  • said angle ( ⁇ ) is 90°, the center of gravity of wheelchair has maximum height with respect to sliding plane (P) and the distance between front and back wheels of wheelchair is minimum, as shown in figs. 1 and 3 .
  • angle ( ⁇ ) decreases, the height of center of gravity of wheelchair decreases and distance between wheels increases.
  • Figures 2 and 4 show the position of wheelchair when said angle ( ⁇ ) is 75°. Therefore the height of center of gravity of wheelchair from sliding plane (P) is lower than height of center of gravity of wheelchair in Figures 1 and 2 , whereas distance between wheels of wheelchair in Figs. 2 and 4 is longer than distance between wheels of wheelchair in Fig. 1 and 3 .
  • the wheelchair of invention also comprises a preferably shock-absorbing seat (S) composed of seat (6) and vertically sliding back (7).
  • Back is hinged to seat and adapted to rotate with respect to seat in the direction of arrow (A).
  • Said seat (S) is supported by rear half-frame (1) with means (8, 9, 10, 11) that allow it to move both along a substantially horizontal plane and a substantially vertical plane.
  • said means (8, 9, 10, 11) comprise horizontal displacement means (8, 9) that allow for displacement of seat (S) along a substantially horizontal direction (direction of arrows B) and vertical displacement means (10, 11) that allow for displacement of seat (S) along a substantially vertical direction (direction of arrows D).
  • Said horizontal displacement means (8, 9) consist in a pair of guide tracks (8) fixed to rear frame where a pair of sliding blocks (9) slides, being fixed in lower position to seat (6) of seat (S).
  • seat (S) can make forward or backward travels with respect to articulated frame (T) of wheelchair, and then stop in desired position, being locked in place with locking means of sliding movement of seat- which are not shown in attached figures for graphic simplification purposes - provided in wheelchair of invention.
  • Said vertical displacement means (10, 11) consist in hinge (10) and piston (11), preferably of shock-absorbing type, connecting seat (S) and rear half-frame (1). More precisely, hinge (10) makes seat (S) oscillate with respect to a point of rear half-frame (1) and alternate travels of piston (11) make seat (S) oscillate upwards or downwards. Specifically, said hinge (10) and piston (11) connect rear half-frame (1) to pair of guide tracks (8) above which seat (S) slides. In view of the above, said wheelchair allows the user to change position of both articulated frame (T) and seat (S).
  • the wheelchair of invention is provided with advantages unknown in the prior art, given the fact that the adjustments that can be made by the disabled user when sitting on wheelchair make it possible to change position during the day according to the specific situation.
  • the rear half-frame (1) has a T-shaped tubular configuration comprising a central longitudinal arm (14) and a back transversal arm (12).
  • the transversal arm (12) is provided with two ends (13) where the two back wheels (3) are rotatably fixed, whereas the longitudinal arm (14) is disposed centrally with respect to seat (S) and supports it with vertical displacement means (10, 11).
  • the longitudinal arm (14) has front end (15) provided with articulation and locking device (16) between rear half-frame (1) and front half-frame (2). So, front half-frame (2) can rotate with respect to rear half-frame (1) in direction of arrow (C), as shown in Fig. 5 .
  • Said front half-frame (2) consists in a single central leg (20) with upper end (17) and lower end (18).
  • Upper end (17) of central leg is connected to articulation device (16); whereas, in correspondence of lower end (18), said central leg (20) supports the pair of footrests (5) and the pair of front wheels (4).
  • front wheels (4) are swiveling wheels (as in most of wheelchairs), further to a variation of angle ( ⁇ ) of front half-frame (2), wheels (4) must be easily replaced in correct position.
  • Figs. 3, 4 and 5 are diagrammatic views of swiveling wheels (4), which are supported by the front half-frame (2), with interposition of adjustment means (59) that allow said wheels (4) to change value by angle ( ⁇ ).
  • Said angle ( ⁇ ) is the angle between longitudinal axis (A) of front half-frame (2) and direction (Y) parallel to sliding plane (P) of wheelchair.
  • the articulation and locking device (16) between rear half-frame (1) and front half-frame (2) is shown in detail in Figures 6, 7 and 8 , and allows front half-frame (2) to have at least two operating positions, wherein angle ( ⁇ ), subtended between longitudinal axis of front half-frame (2) and direction (X) parallel to sliding plane of wheelchair has values lower than 90°.
  • the articulation and locking device (16) may consist in a hinge or clutch.
  • the articulation and locking device (16) comprises:
  • first element is a striker (19) shaped as plate and second element is an arched tubular body (22) provided with longitudinal seat or slot (23) adapted to receive striker (19).
  • said device (16) comprises:
  • Fig. 8 shows three holes (28) in striker (19) corresponding to three operating positions of front frame (2), for instance, three operating positions wherein angle ( ⁇ ) is comprised between 90° and 75°.
  • width of striker (19) can be higher and more locking holes (28) can be provided to obtain finer adjustment and higher variation of angle ( ⁇ ).
  • the button (27) is provided with actuated end (29) and operating end (30) adapted to be inserted into one of the series of holes (28) obtained on said striker (19).
  • the button (27) is actuated (27) to disengage the operating end (30) from one of the holes (28), make striker (19) oscillate and lock it in desired position as soon as operating end (30) is inserted again into another hole (28).
