Description
- The invention relates to a wheelchair with a fixed non foldable frame, which forms attachment for front wheels and rear wheels, and which includes a seat.
- It is known, e.g. from
US 2001 /008335 A1 andUS 6 273 445 B1 , to manufacture wheelchairs, which around the rear wheels have two parallel frame pipes in a closed frame construction where the lower pipe is used for adjusting the wheel axle in the longitudinal direction. - The hitherto known constructions are often characterized in that the height of the rear wheels can be regulated by adjustment of, or on, a bracket, which is mounted between the highest and lowest pipe in the closed frame construction, which has the drawback that the frame construction gets a large height and thereby takes up much space when the frame without rear wheel is to be transported in and out of for example a car.
- In several known constructions, it is often possible to shorten the pipes for mounting seat and back bracket for adjustment of the seat depth to a given wheelchair user, but these frame constructions are open with a joint pipe for mounting of seat and driving wheel bracket, which reduces the possibilities of adjustment for seat and wheels and lowers the stiffness of the construction.
- It is moreover a drawback of the hitherto known constructions that front-wheel suspension, which is build into the frame of the wheelchair, are difficult to position correctly after the adjustment of the wheelchair to a specific user.
- It is also a drawback that the hitherto known integrated front-wheel suspensions easily break if the wheelchair hits an obstacle, whereafter the wheelchair can not be used before it has been repaired, which can obviously be a significant nuisance for the user.
- It is therefore an object of the invention to show a wheelchair without the above-mentioned drawbacks.
- The object of the invention is achieved by a wheelchair according to
claim 1. - In this way, it becomes possible to adjust the seat cover, and independent of the position of the rear wheel suspension, and it becomes possible to adjust the rear wheel suspensions freely in the longitudinal direction, and the seat height can be freely adjusted by adjustment of the rear wheel suspension in the area below the frame.
- Further appropriate embodiments of the wheelchair are stated in
claims 2 to 11. - The invention will now be explained more fully with reference to the drawings, on which:
-
Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a wheelchair manufactured according to the invention. -
Fig. 2 shows a section of the wheelchair's frame in connection to the rear wheels. -
Fig. 3 shows another section of the wheelchair's frame in connection to the rear wheels. -
Fig. 4 shows a third section of the wheelchair's frame in connection to the rear wheels. -
Fig. 5 shows a fourth section of a wheelchair's frame in connection to the rear wheels. -
Fig. 6 shows, in a projection, a section of a front wheel suspension. -
Fig. 7 shows, in another projection, a section of a front wheel suspension. -
Fig. 8 shows, in a third projection, a section of a front wheel suspension. -
Fig. 9 shows a sectional view of a front wheel suspension. - In
fig. 1 is with 1 shown a wheelchair with a fixed nonfoldable frame 26, which forms attachment forfront wheel 11 andrear wheel 10, and which includes a seat. -
Fig. 2 and fig. 3 show a section of a wheelchair's 1frame 26 near arear wheel 10, where theframe 26 in connection to theattachment 2 to therear wheels 10 includes two preferably verticalparallel pipes end bracket 6, and which in the direction of thefront wheels 11 are connected by acoupling piece 7, and wherein theupper pipe 4 between theend bracket 6 and thecoupling piece 7 forms an attachment for theseat 27 and where thelower pipe 5 between theend bracket 6 and thecoupling piece 7 forms an attachment for adjustablerear wheel suspension 9, and where thedistance 12 between thepipes pipe - In the shown preferred embodiment in
fig. 2 and 3 of a wheelchair manufactured according to the invention, thecoupling piece 7 is welded to thepipes - It is furthermore seen that the
rear wheel suspension 9 is fastened to thepipe 5 by anadjustable bracket 8. - The
bracket 8 is fastened to thepipe 5 by friction created by fastening devices such as screws and thebracket 8 can be moved freely on thepipe 5 between thecoupling piece 7 and theend bracket 6, which provides an optimum possibility of adjustment of the rear wheel suspension's horizontal placement. - As it will appear from for example
figure 2 , a height adjustablerear wheel suspension 9 goes out from thebracket 8, which can easily be adjusted by activation of fastening devices such as one or more screws or bolts, which provides an optimum possibility for adjusting the vertical placement of therear wheel 10 in relation to theframe 26. - As it will appear from for example
fig. 2 andfig. 5 , theend bracket 6 is fastened to thepipes - It is hereby achieved that the
pipes end bracket 6 can simply be fastened whereby theframe 26 remains closed, also at therear wheels 10. Infig. 4 and fig. 5 is seen that the pipe forms attachment for aback bracket 14. - It is furthermore seen in
fig. 5 that therear wheel suspension 9 ends in ahollow shaft 15 to which arear wheel 10 can be mounted. -
Fig. 6, fig. 7 andfig. 8 show, depicted in different projections, afront wheel suspension 3, where theframe 26 forms attachment for thefront wheels 11 since thefront wheel suspension 3 is integrated in theframe 26, which includes a preferablycylindrical axle 16 for fastening of afront wheel 11, where theaxle 16 goes out from thefront wheel suspension 3 through anopening hole 28, which is preferably oval and in which the axle's 16 placement in one plane can be adjusted steplessly. - In
fig. 7 , theoval opening hole 28 is seen, which encloses thecylindrical axle 16, which can be moved in thearea 17 between the axle's 16 exterior dimension and the inner dimension of theopening hole 28. - The
axle 16, which forms attachment for thefront wheel 11 via awheel bracket 25, can be adjusted in the oval opening hole's 28 longitudinal axis. - The
oval opening hole 28 limits the maximum angle of theaxle 16 whereby it is ensured that theaxle 16 can not be turned to an angle, which will make the wheelchair unstable. - The
wheel suspension 3 is on two opposite side surfaces shielded by cover plates 3.1,3.2. - In a preferred embodiment, the
axle 16 can be adjusted steplessly in theopening hole 28 and fastened by friction from activation offastening devices 19 such as screws or bolts, which can squeeze together theaxle 16 between items, of which the end plate 3.2 consists one of the items. - The suspension hereby becomes protected against fracture from the friction in the fastening of the adjustment mechanism.
- It is a part of the invention that the
front wheel suspension 3 can be provided with visual indicators for adjustment of theaxle 16, which in an optimum position is adjusted such that its longitudinal axis is vertical. - In
fig. 9 is seen a sectional picture of a preferred embodiment of thewheel suspension 3, where the axle has anend 21, which for example via a thread is connected with thewheel bracket 25, and which in theopposite end 22 is fastened by screwing together to abolt 23 and where theaxle 16 is also enclosed byball bearings 24. - The
wheel suspension 3 is, as it will appear from for examplefig. 8 , integrated in theframe 26 such that the wheel suspension's 3 exterior housing comprises a part of theframe 26.
