Definitions

  • the wheelchair is a movable device on wheels, used by people who cannot walk independently due to illness, injury or disability.
  • the audacious disabled generally make use of lightweight wheelchairs, often with a sports specific equipment. Many users make changes to their wheelchair just to make it suitable to their particular needs.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair for disabled person which has all the characteristics of a traditional ultra light wheelchair Fig.1,4, of the standard self propelled type, but which, at the same time, also converts itself into a playful object, Fig. 2,3,5.
  • Fig. 1,4 of the standard self propelled type
  • Fig. 2,3,5 a wheelchair for disabled people, of self propelled type, provided with an adjustable reclining back which allows the user, when it is sitting back to front, to rest his ankles.
  • a seat (8) placed on a frame (6) consisting of two parallel elements L shaped rotated clockwise by about ninety degrees, on which are fixed a pair of rotating wheels (5) in the front part and a pair of self propelled wheels (4) in the rear part, equipped with handrails (12) for self propelling; some support tubes (10), connected to the side edges of the backrest (1); a backrest (1), hinged to the frame (6) by two connecting elements (9), placed at the sides of the seat (8), connected at one extremity, by top hinges (2) around the midpoint of the support tubes (10) of the backrest (1) and at opposite extremity by lower hinges (3) connected to the frame (6) allowing rotation, and then the positioning, of the backrest (1) towards both the above part of the seat (8) and the under part of the seat (8); some connecting elements (9) which connect the backrest (1) and the seat (8), provided with fixing system (11) fixing the backrest (1) to the frame (7) when it is positioned below the seat (8), eliminating the possibility to rotate downward.
  • the backrest (1) When the backrest (1) is placed towards the bottom part of the seat (8) and fixed to the frame (6), by means of the locking system (11), the user can sit back to front and hold up the ankle on the backrest (1 ) with the heels positioned under the seat (8) allowing the user to be able to grip the handrails (12) of the self propelled wheels (4) for self propelling, allowing in any case to run, although sitting back to front 1 Fig. 2.3.
  • this chair is positioned on a column structural support for conventional chairs, fixed to a piston of gas spring type, placed on the base with wheels.
  • This chair is not suitable for use by a disabled person: in fact, a disabled person cannot remain steady on a chair like this, as there are no lateral supports which contain the legs spreading apart laterally. We have to remember that we are talking about people with disabilities with no control of the legs, which remain unrestricted and tending to spread apart laterally.
  • the invention introduced in this patent is composed of a seat (8) placed on a frame (6) consisting of two parallel L shaped elements rotated clockwise by about ninety degrees, on which are fixed a pair of rotating wheels (5) in the front part and a pair of self propelled wheels (4) in the rear part; in fact the frame (6) consisting of two parallel L shaped elements rotated clockwise by about ninety degrees which constitute the frame (7), forces the legs to be enclosed laterally and then avoiding to spread apart laterally Fig. 1.
  • the invention presented in this patent is different not only because it enables the user, when he is sitting back to front, to grab the handrail (12) of the self propelled wheels (4) and move himself and enables to easily keep balanced on the only two self propelled wheels (4): in effect, it differs as it is a wheelchair for disabled people which also offers the advantage of transportability: in fact, the backrest (1), hinged to the frame (6) by connecting elements (9), can rotate moving towards both part, above the seat (8), ensuring a size reduction of the wheelchair that make it transportable, and toward the under side of the seat (8) allowing the user to employ the wheelchair also sitting on the contrary, with the ankles on the backrest (1) and the heels positioned under the seat (8), Fig. 7.
  • Fig. 1 Side view of the wheelchair in standard mode with the user seated in, with the hands on the handrail (12) of the self propelled wheels (4).
  • Fig. 2 Side view of the wheelchair with the seat back (1) tilted backwards and the user sitting back to front, with the ankles resting on it.
  • Fig. 3 Side view of the wheelchair with the backrest (1) reclined backwards and the user sitting back-to-front, with the ankles resting on it, thanks to the fact that the center of gravity of his body falls in the area of the axis passing through the two self propelled wheels (4) is able to easily stay in balance on two self propelled wheels (4) with rotating wheels (5) raised (13) from the ground and the hands on the handrail (12) of the self propelled wheels (4).
  • Fig. 4 Perspective view of the wheelchair in standard mode.
  • Fig. 5 Perspective view of the wheelchair with the seat back (1) reclined backwards and so situated below the seat (8) and enlargement of the particular fastening system (11) which fixes the backrest (1) to the frame (6) when it is positioned below the seat (8), eliminating the possibility to rotate downward.
  • Fig. 6 Side view of the wheelchair with the kinematics of rotation of the backrest (1) situated below the seat (8).
  • Fig. 7 Side view of the wheelchair with the kinematics of rotation of the backrest (1) situated above the seat (8).
  • Fig. 8 exploded perspective view of the wheelchair including all the essential elements for assembly.
