Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foldable frame with two side frames, which are interconnected by means of a seat, in particular for rolling mobility aids, wheelchairs, walkers or the like.
  • the invention relates to a folding mechanism in which a split, fixed seat, designed by suitable design foldable.
  • the foldable frame according to the invention can be designed for example in the form of a folding wheelchair or walker, it can also be used as a toilet wheelchair or in other ways.
  • the constructions known from the prior art have either scissor connections, by means of which the two side frames are connected so that they can be approximated or spaced from one another. These scissor mechanisms can be locked in the sitting position and / or the folded position.
  • the known constructions each have flexible seats, which are folded when folding the foldable frame. In the position of use, these constructions are not preferable for aesthetic reasons, since there is no flat seat. With prolonged use, the towels stretch so that the seat sags on. Overall, a construction results, which often makes a not very stable impression and in particular optical requirements usually not enough.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a foldable frame of the type mentioned, which offers a solid seat with a simple design and simple, cost manufacturability and high optical requirements.
  • a foldable frame is provided with two side frames, which are interconnected by means of a seat.
  • the seat is designed as a rigid seat, which is formed by two rigid, plate-like seat elements, which are hinged together.
  • the two plate-like seating elements are symmetrical in each case to the hinge axis.
  • the respective other ends of the seat elements are hingedly connected to the respective side frame. In a collapsing of the foldable frame by approaching the two side frames thus the two seat elements are pivoted to each other and to the respective side frame.
  • a coupling mechanism is further provided, which connects the side frame and the seat elements together.
  • An essential aspect of the embodiment according to the invention is also that, in the unfolded sitting position, at least part of the linkage is received in recesses on the underside of the seat elements.
  • the coupling gear is thus not visible in the operational, unfolded state for the user, so that there is a stable and visually the highest requirements sufficient overall construction.
  • the coupling mechanism is preferably arranged only on a side region of the seat elements and the seat frame. This means, for example, that when a user sits on the foldable frame, the linkage is located either on the front or on the rear side of the seat elements.
  • a free space is created, which allows, for example, to design the foldable frame according to the invention as a toilet chair or in a similar manner.
  • the coupling gear thus allows, for example, in the center The area of the seat to provide a hygiene cutout.
  • the foldable frame can be used for example as a shower seat.
  • the coupling mechanism each comprise a four-bar linkage which couples the seat elements together. Furthermore, in each case a coupling rod is provided, which connects the four-bar linkage articulated to a lower portion of the respective side frame. This ensures that results in a parallelogram-like construction, which provides in particular for a synchronous Faltablauf both side frames.
  • the four-bar linkage preferably comprises two struts which are hingedly connected to one another at each end and whose other ends are each pivotally connected to the respective one of the seat elements.
  • Such a construction is simple and inexpensive to produce and allows the coupling gear, as mentioned, to receive in the preferred manner slot-like recess on the underside of the seat elements in the sitting position.
  • the coupling rod is preferably connected in the embodiment described above with one of its ends to the articulated connection of the struts, while the other end of the coupling rod is articulated to a lower region of the respective side frame.
  • the articulated connection of the two seat elements is preferably designed so that a dead center is formed.
  • the articulated connection is preferably arranged on the underside of the two seat elements (based on the unfolded seat state.)
  • the two seat elements are supported above one another above the hinge-like connection, so that the system stabilizes itself in the unfolded state ready for sitting.
  • the two seat elements can be locked against each other at their connection area by means of an additional locking mechanism. On This way it is prevented that foldable frame according to the invention unintentionally folds when lifting itself. In such a lock could also be provided to dispense with the dead center control described above.
  • the articulated connection between the side frame and the seat element is preferably carried out via a U-shaped or cranked bearing element. This makes it possible to accommodate the joint region of the connection between the seat elements and the side frames, in particular in the folded position to save space.
  • the folding system according to the invention in conjunction with a fixed seat, which may be provided, for example, as mentioned, with a hygiene cutout, it is possible to form the foldable frame according to the invention as a folding wheelchair, which can also be used as a toilet wheelchair. It is because the coupling mechanism with the coupling rods located on one side of the seat, a running over a toilet possible.
  • Another advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that the solid construction of the seat ensures a high degree of comfort and reduces the pressure ulcer risk.
  • the foldable frame according to the invention comprises two side frames 1, 2, which are U-shaped in side view. It is understood that the side frames 1, 2 may be provided on their undersides with wheels or wheels, as is the case with folding wheelchairs or the like.
  • the side frames 1 and 2 are shown only schematically to illustrate the structure of the foldable frame according to the invention.
  • the two side frames 1 and 2 are connected by means of seating elements 3 and 4.
  • the seat elements 3 and 4 are each plate-shaped and rigid and connected at its central region via an articulated connection 5 (joint of the seat elements). This is especially in Fig. 4 clarified.
  • the hinge 5 is seated on the underside of the seat elements 3 and 4, so that there is a dead center configuration, which the seat elements 3 and 4 in the unfolded position (s. Fig. 1 ) against each other.
  • a coupling gear This comprises a four-bar linkage, which is formed by a first strut 12 and a second strut 13. The two struts 12 and 13 are connected to one another at a joint 14. The free ends of the struts 12 and 13 are each articulated (15, 16) connected to the seat element 3, 4.
  • the first strut 12 is formed as a short strut, while the second strut 13 is formed as a longer strut and is hinged to the other of the two seat elements, as the Fig. 4 shows.
  • a coupling rod 9 or 10 is articulated articulated, which is connected via a coupling rod joint 11 with the side frame 1, 2.
  • the Fig. 8 and 9 each show a perspective view of an embodiment of the foldable frame according to the invention.
  • the representation is analogous to the embodiment of Fig. 1 .
  • Wheels 18 attached to the lower ends of the side frames 1 and 2, which are steerable about a vertical axis, so that the foldable frame is used as a walker or walker.
  • pad elements 19 are placed on the seat elements 3 and 4, which improve the seating comfort.
