Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wheelchair for disabled people.
  • a wheelchair for disabled people comprising a support frame provided with a first axle having mounted thereto a pair of wheels which are rotated about a first axis of rotation: at least one further wheel being mounted to the support frame so as to rotate about a second axis of rotation; and a seat being slidably coupled with the support frame by means of a telescopic coupling device which allows for rectilinear movements along the vertical direction with respect to the support frame so as to adjust the height of the seat with respect to the ground.
  • the seat is locked in a certain position along said vertical direction by means of a plurality of clamping bolts passing through and secured to the telescopic coupling device.
  • US 20090218784 discloses a wheelchair with an adjustable seat.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair for disabled people, which is free from the drawbacks described above and which is simple and economical to be implemented.
  • numeral reference 1 designates generally a wheelchair for disabled people, comprising a support frame 2 which, in turn, comprises a first substantially T-shaped tubular member 3 which is configured so as to define a horizontal axle 4 and a central bar 5 protruding from a middle point of the axle 4, the first tubular member 3 supporting two wheels 6 which are rotatably mounted to the free ends of the axle 4 so as to rotate about a longitudinal axis 7 of said axle 4.
  • the frame 2 further comprises a second tubular member 8 protruding downwardly from the bar 5 and supporting, at a lower free end thereof, a pair of footrests 9 arranged on opposite sides of said member 8 for supporting the feet of a disabled individual.
  • the member 8 is rotatably coupled with a free end of the bar 5 so as to rotate, with respect to the member 3, about an axis of rotation 10 which is substantially horizontal and parallel to the axis 7, said member 8 being locked in a certain position with respect to the axis 10 by means of a locking pin (not shown) which is mounted through the bar 5 and the member 8 parallely to said axis 10.
  • the frame 2 further comprises a third tubular member 11 extending transversely to the member 8 and having two swivel wheels 12 connected to its ends and mounted so as to rotate about respective longitudinal axes 13 which are substantially horizontal.
  • the member 11 is rotatably connected to a free end of the member 8 so as to rotate, with respect to said member 8, about an axis of rotation 14 which is substantially horizontal and parallel to the axis 10, said member 11 being locked in a certain position with respect to the axis 14 depending on the position of the member 8 with respect to the axis 10.
  • the wheelchair 1 comprises a seat 15 which, in turn, comprises a guide 16 ( Figure 4 ) pivotally hinged to the bar 5 so as to rotate, with respect to the frame 2 and under the action of a crank mechanism 17, about an axis of pivoting 18 which is parallel to the axis 7.
  • the crank mechanism 17 comprises a tubular swing bar 19 which is fitted on the axle 4 coaxially with the axis 7, and which is rotatably coupled with the axle 4 so as to rotate about the axis 7 with respect to the axle 4, said crank mechanism 17 having an arm 20 formed at a middle point of the swing bar 19, and further having a pair of arms defining two cranks 21 which are located on opposite sides of the bar 5 and aligned with each other in a direction 22 which is parallel to said axis 7.
  • Each crank 21 has connected thereto a respective connecting rod 23 extending between two axes 24, 25 which are parallel both to each other and to the axis 7, the axis 24 being the axis of rotation of the connecting rod 23 with respect to the crank 21, and the axis 25 being the axis of rotation of the connecting rod 23 with respect to a straight guide rail 26 ( Figure 4 ) defining a portion of the guide 16.
  • the guide 16 also comprises a pair of additional straight guide rails 27 which are attached to the ends of a support pin 28 pivotally hinged to the bar 5 so as to rotate about an axis 18 with respect to the bar 5.
  • the seat 15 has a rest 29 which is slidably connected to each rail 26, 27 with the interposition of a respective sliding shoe 30 attached to a lower face of said rest 29, said rest 29 being locked in a position along the rails 26, 27 by means of a locking device 31 comprising two fastening pins 32 each slidably coupled with a respective rail 26 so as to be moved between a raised, locked position in which each pin 32 is engaged with a corresponding hole (not shown) formed in the lower face of the rest 29, and a lowered, released position.
  • a locking device 31 comprising two fastening pins 32 each slidably coupled with a respective rail 26 so as to be moved between a raised, locked position in which each pin 32 is engaged with a corresponding hole (not shown) formed in the lower face of the rest 29, and a lowered, released position.
  • the pins 32 are moved and usually kept in their raised, locked positions by means of respective springs (not shown) which are interposed between the pins 32 and the respective rails 26, and the pins 32 are moved to their lowered, released position against the action of these springs (not shown) through an actuator (not shown) operated by the disabled individual.
  • the device 33 comprises a support plate 34 attached to the lower face of the rest 29, a crank 35 pivotally hinged to the plate 34 so as to rotate, with respect to plate 34, about an axis of pivoting 36, and a substantially Y-shaped drive member 37 (in this case, a steel wire only partially illustrated in Figure 5 ) whose one end is attached to the plate 34 and the other two ends are attached to the pins 32.
  • the seat 15 also comprises a tubular member 38 which is pivotally hinged to the rest 29 so as to rotate, with respect to the rest 29, about an axis of pivoting 39 which is parallel to the axis 7, said tubular member 38 being slidably engaged by a backrest 40.
  • the seat 15 is moved between a raised position ( Figure 2 ) and a lowered position ( Figure 3 ) by means of the crank mechanism 17, whose position with respect to the axis 7 is selectively adjusted by a damper cylinder 41, of a known type, which is pivotally hinged to the arm 20 so as to rotate, with respect to the swing bar 19, about an axis of pivoting 42 which is parallel to the axis 7, said damper cylinder 41 having a thrust rod 43 pivotally hinged to the bar 5 so as to rotate, with respect to the bar 5, about an axis of pivoting 44 which is parallel to said axis 37.
  • a damper cylinder 41 of a known type, which is pivotally hinged to the arm 20 so as to rotate, with respect to the swing bar 19, about an axis of pivoting 42 which is parallel to the axis 7, said damper cylinder 41 having a thrust rod 43 pivotally hinged to the bar 5 so as to rotate, with respect to the bar 5, about an axis of pivoting 44 which is parallel to said
  • the cylinder 41 cooperates with a drive lever 45 movable between a position in which the cylinder 41 and therefore the crank 17 are locked in a certain position, and a position in which the cylinder 41 and therefore the crank 17 are released.
  • the crank mechanism 17 and the damper cylinder 41 allow The disabled individual sitting in the wheelchair 1 to easily move the seat 15 between its raised position and lowered position with the use of the drive lever 45. Particularly, the seat 15 is moved from its raised position to its lowered position by the disabled individual pushing on the rest 29, and the seat 15 is moved from its lowered position to its raised position by the cylinder 41 pushing on said rest 29.
  • the tubular member 8 is mounted so as to rotate about an axis of rotation which is parallel to and separate from said longitudinal axis 7 of the axle 4.
  • crank mechanism 17 is eliminated, and the guide 16 is connected to the frame 2 with the interposition of an articulated parallelogram.
