Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a seat appliance with a stowable or folding backrest, and more particularly to a wheelchair with a stowable or folding backrest.
  • Prior art wheelchairs are known which have a backrest which is foldable down to lie adjacent the seat in a stowed orientation for storage and transportation.
  • EP145606 discloses a folding wheelchair with a stowable backrest arrangement, wherein the wheelchair has side restraints provided with a linkage to the backrest such that as the backrest moves between a deployed and stowed configuration the side restraints correspondingly move between a restraint position and a stowed position.
  • a seated invalid appliance in accordance with claim 1, with a stowable backrest arrangement, wherein the appliance has side restraints and includes a linkage arrangement between the backrest and the side restraints such that as the backrest moves between a deployed and stowed configuration the side restraints correspondingly move between a restraint position and a stowed position, wherein the side restraints comprise curved side struts, and are provided with an elongate arcuate guide comprising an elongate arcuate slot for guiding movement of a guide member carried by the backrest arrangement; wherein the backrest arrangement and the side restraints are pivotally mounted at spaced locations to a common frame member of the seated invalid appliance, and further wherein the seated invalid appliance further comprises locking means for locking the backrest in the stowed position and the deployed position, wherein the locking means are configured to move into a locking position upon movement of the backrest into the stowed position to enable only deliberate
  • the backrest is upright or substantially upright when in the deployed configuration.
  • the side restraints are lowered compared to a raised restraint position.
  • the backrest is arranged to be pivotably movable between the deployed and stowed configurations.
  • the side restraints are arranged to be pivotably movable between the restraint position and the stowed position.
  • the position of coupling of the backrest arrangement and restraints moves as the backrest arrangement and restraints move to and from the stowed position.
  • the position of the first end of the side restraint may be lower (i.e. closer to the ground) when it is in the stowed position then when it is in the restraint position.
  • the guide member may protrude through the slot.
  • the guide member may be configured to travel along the slot towards or in the direction of the front of the appliance as the backrest is moved towards the stowed position.
  • the term 'front' is used in relation to the direction in which the user faces when seated in the deployed appliance.
  • the back rest may be in communication with the restraint at a variety of positions along the length of the restraint, by means of the guide member.
  • the guide member may be lower when the backrest is in the stowed position than it is when the back rest is in an upright (deployed) position.
  • the guide member may move away from the first end of the restraint as the back rest is moved to the stowed position.
  • the guide member may comprise an end stop, such as a flange or cap for example.
  • the guide member may pass through the slot with the end stop on the outer face of the restraint i.e. away from the interior of the appliance where the user sits in use.
  • the seated invalid appliance may be a wheelchair, an invalid chair or a sporting appliance for a disabled or mobility-impaired user.
  • the backrest In the restraint position, with the backrest arrangement in the deployed (upright) orientation, the backrest may be braced against rearward movement by engagement with the end of the slot.
  • the arrangement is preferably such that, in the stowed position, the backrest is laid over the seat position of the seat.
  • locking means is provided for locking the backrest in the stowed position and the deployed position.
  • the same locking means locks the backrest in the stowed position and the deployed position.
  • the locking means may comprise a locking pin which is normally biased to a locking position.
  • the side restraints may be c-shaped or arcuate in profile.
  • the side restraints may take a generally bow-shaped form.
  • the arcuate guide slot may be provided between the edges of the restraint, the slot following the arcuate profile of the restraint edges.
  • the seated invalid appliance may be a wheelchair, an invalid chair or a sporting appliance for a disabled or mobility-impaired user.
  • the invention provides a compact arrangement, which is lightweight and simple in construction. It is cheap to manufacture compared with more elaborate alternatives.
  • the side restraints and lie close to the body of the appliance in a convenient and easy to handle arrangement.
  • FIG. 7 there is shown a wheelchair appliance 1 in which the wheels 19 (usually secured to mountings 10) are shown de-mounted from the appliance for ease of explanation.
  • the appliance 1 has a backrest arrangement 8 comprising a pair of spaced tubular uprights 2,3 and webbing bands 4 extending between the uprights 2, 3 to provide a back support.
  • the uprights 2, 3 are pivotally mounted to respective side frame members 5 by means of a bracket 6 and pivot 7.
  • the bracket 6 is secured to the respective upright 2, 3 and pivots with the respective upright 2, 3.
  • Each upright 2,3 is provided at about mid-way up the backrest arrangement with an outwardly projecting follower 9 which is fixed positionally with respect to the respective upright 2,3 but guided to be movable in an arcuate guide slot 11 of a respective side restraint arm 12, one of which is provided at each side of the seated appliance 1.
  • Each side restraint arm 12 is pivotally mounted to the side frame members 5 at a forward position spaced from the pivotal mounting 7 of the backrest arrangement 8. Pivot formations 14 are shown in the drawings for mounting the side restraint arms 12.
  • the slide-ability of the followers 9 in the slots 11 provide a mechanical sliding linkage between the uprights 2,3 and the side restraint arms 12.
  • the frame members 2,3 are held in the upright position by means of respective spring biased locking pins 15 provided one for each upright 2,3.
  • the locking pins 15 engage in a securing aperture 16 provided in the bracket 6.
  • the side restraint arms 12 act as structural members bracing with the uprights 2,3 and the side frame members 5 to provide structural integrity to the frame.
  • the uprights 2,3 are prevented from pivoting forward to the stowed configuration by engagement of the locking pins 15 with the apertures 16.
  • Abutment members 22 on the bottom ends of the uprights 2,3 abut against the trailing edges of the side frame members 5 when in the upright position.
  • this arrangement enables the side restraint arms 12 to serve as side walls during use of the wheelchair, and act as restraints to prevent the user from falling out of the appliance.
  • the locking pins 15 are provided with a connecting line 17, which, when tugged, acts against the biasing springs to retract the locking pins 15 from engagement with the apertures 16.
  • the backrest arrangement can be pivoted forward to the stowed position in which the backrest arrangement overlays the seat position of the appliance.
  • the seat pad is not shown.
  • the seat pad is secured onto the cross-members 20,21.
  • the followers 9 are guided to pass along the arcuate guide slots in the side restraint arms 12.
  • the followers 9 act to urge downwardly the side restraint arms 12 which pivot downwardly about the pivot mountings 14.
  • the end of the respective securing pin 15 traces over the inward facing surface of the bracket 6.
  • the arrangement provides that the arrangement can be reconfigured quickly and easily between the stowed and deployed configurations, with movement of the backrest arrangement 8 automatically reconfiguring the side restraints 12.
  • the side restraint arms therefore provide more than one function:
