Abstract

Problem
Patients physically impaired by disability or injury may be unable to transport household items. This challenge particularly affects those dependent on manually operated mobility aids such as crutches or walkers. Given a ruptured cruciate ligament, fractured metatarsal, or similar condition, even carrying a cup of coffee from kitchen to parlor may prove a major obstacle. In these and other cases, abandoning the handheld aid would aggravate the risk of additional irritation or re-injury.
Solution
The problem is solved by means of a mobile tray table (10) comprising
a tray (11) and a collapsible framework (39, 40) supporting the tray (11), a lower base frame (39) and an upper base frame (40) forming the framework (39, 40), the tray (11) being attached to the upper base frame (40),
a scissors mechanism (16-31) interconnecting the base frames (39, 40), and a deployable undercarriage (32-34) suspended by the scissors mechanism (16-31) betwixt the base frames (39, 40) such that the undercarriage (32-34) protrudes through the lower base frame (39) while the framework (39, 40) is collapsed and retracts through the lower base frame (39) when the framework (39, 40) is expanded.

    Description of embodiments
  • Figure 1 illustrates a mobile tray table 10 whose framework 39, 40 is formed by a lower base frame 39 and an upper base frame 40 comprising bilateral linear motion bearings 12-15 each based on a linear slide 12, 14 guided by a sliding rail 13, 15. The tray table 10 is equipped with a camera (not depicted) and configured to establish a wireless local-area network for accessing the camera by means of a remote smartphone or tablet computer. On demand by the remote operator, a linear actuator 37, 38 serves to collapse the framework 39, 40 and deploy a remotely controlled undercarriage 32-34 (concealed in Figure 1 ). To this end, the linear actuator 37, 38 comprises a segmented spindle 37 and an electrical gear drive 38 for driving the spindle 37.
  • Figure 2 elucidates the collapsed framework 39, 40 in further detail. In this operational state, the undercarriage 32-34 protrudes through the lower base frame 39. A lower scissor linkage 16-24 and upper scissor linkage 16, 22, 25-31 connect the undercarriage 32-34 to the lower base frame 39 and upper base frame 40, respectively, thus forming a scissors mechanism 16-31 that interconnects the base frames 39, 40. Such mechanism, known in the art of kinematics as a pantograph, is described in SCHWAMB, Peter, et al. Elements of Mechanism. 2nd edition. New York: John Wiley , 1915. ISBN 1140218530. p.120-123.
  • A rear crossbeam 35 and a front crossbeam 36 paraxially interconnect the lower scissor linkage 16-24 and upper scissor linkage 16, 22, 25-31, the undercarriage 32-34 and aforementioned linear actuator 37, 38 being mounted between the crossbeams 35, 36. Specifically, the lower scissor linkage 16-24 comprises a first scissor link 16-19 and a second scissor link 20-23 mutually pivoted by a linkage fulcrum 24. Similarly, the upper scissor linkage 16, 22, 25-31 comprises a first scissor link 22, 25-27 and a second scissor link 16, 28-30 pivoted by a linkage fulcrum 31. The linkage fulcra 24, 31 effectively divide each scissor link into a passive lever arm 18, 20, 26, 29 and an active lever arm 19, 21, 27, 30, as will be explained hereinafter.
  • As to the lower scissor linkage 16-24, the first scissor link's active lever arm 19 ends in a sliding hinge joint 17 connecting the first scissor link 16-19 to the lower base frame 39. Opposite its linkage fulcrum 24, the first scissor link's passive lever arm 18 ends in a hinge joint 16 connecting the first scissor link 16-19 to the rear crossbeam 35. Conversely, the second scissor link's active lever arm 21 ends in a sliding hinge joint 22 connecting the second scissor link 20-23 to the front crossbeam 36 while, opposite its linkage fulcrum 24, the second scissor link's passive lever arm 20 ends in a hinge joint 23 connecting the second scissor link 20-23 to the lower base frame 39.
  • As to the upper scissor linkage 16, 22, 25-31, the first scissor link's active lever arm 27 also ends in the sliding hinge joint 22, which thus also connects the first scissor link 22, 25-27 to the front crossbeam 36. Opposite its linkage fulcrum 31, the first scissor link's passive lever arm 26 ends in a hinge joint 25 connecting the first scissor link 22, 25-27 to the upper base frame 40. Conversely, the second scissor link's active lever arm 30 ends in a sliding hinge joint 28 connecting the second scissor link 16, 28-30 to the upper base frame 40 while, opposite its linkage fulcrum 31, the second scissor link's passive lever arm 29 also ends in the hinge joint 16, which thus also connects the second scissor link 16, 28-30 to the rear crossbeam 35. Hence, the central joints 16, 22 are effectively shared among the lower scissor linkage 16-24 and upper scissor linkage 16, 22, 25-31 while each scissor linkage is connected to the corresponding base frame 39, 40 by dedicated peripheral joints 17, 23, 25, and 28.
  • The undercarriage 32-34 comprises bilateral rear axles 32 facing toward the rear crossbeam 35 and front axles 33 facing toward the front crossbeam 36, the rear axles 32 and front axles 33 being aligned paraxially. On each side of the undercarriage 32-34, the axles 32, 33 are interconnected by belts or chains 34.
  • The corresponding view of Figure 3 shows the framework 39, 40 in its expanded state. Here, the undercarriage 32-34 has retracted through the lower base frame 39, the scissors mechanism 16-31 thus suspending it betwixt the base frames 39, 40. With the tray table 10 now resting steadily upon its lower base frame 39, a detachable tray 11 attached to the upper base frame 40 may be safely extracted from the latter, accommodating a convenient dining height of approximately 75 cm above ground level. A plissé or other pleat clamped between the base frames 39, 40 covers the scissors mechanism 16-31, thus mitigating any risk of crushing or squeezing when the tray table 10 eventually returns to its collapsed state.
  • In an advanced embodiment, the tray table 10 may be equipped with a gyrostabilizer to compensate for the motion necessarily caused by the undercarriage 32-34. Such stabilizer would include an angular reference device such as an optical gyroscope and a servomechanism acting on the tray 11. Similar stabilizers have been employed in other continuous tracked vehicles such as for gun stabilization in tanks, as is outlined in SANDERS, Gold V. Why Our Tanks Can Score Hits on the Run. Pop. sci.. September 1944, vol.145, no.3, p.82-85.
