Definitions

  • This invention relates to a wheelchair and a garment for a wheelchair user.
  • the invention provides a wheelchair according to claim 1.
  • the wheelchair has a frame having a rearward facing aperture, and a seat member held in a substantially horizontal position in a normal configuration.
  • the seat member is hinged to the frame and pivotable downwardly into a toileting configuration, in which the wheelchair is movable rearwardly to locate the aperture around a toilet for use of the actual toilet seat by an occupant.
  • a hinge joining the seat member to the frame can be located at a front edge of the seat. In this way, the front edge will remain in place in the toileting configuration, so that the user's thighs can continue to rest on it.
  • a substantially horizontal frame part extends through at least one circular aperture in the seat member.
  • At least one latch can be provided for retaining the seat member in the substantially horizontal position and releasing it therefrom.
  • the latch(es) can secure the seat member to a substantially horizontal rear frame part and/ or to one or both of two opposed substantially vertical rear frame parts.
  • the or each latch is urged into a seat-holding position by a spring; a button or handle may be provided for disengaging the or each latch.
  • the seat member may be provided with a seat element fastener for attaching a garment flap described below.
  • the garment which may comprise trousers or a skirt, comprises a flap in a seat of the garment, defined by two slits, one on each side, as well as a rear portion of a waist hem of the garment, a fastener being provided for connecting the flap to the seat member of the wheelchair. As the seat member falls, it pulls down the flap, so that the user does not have to remove or lower the garment.
  • the fastener can comprise a hook, a button, a rigid or flexible eye, a strap or a hook-and-loop material such as Velcro ®.
  • a strap, cord or web which may be elastic, extends from a location on the flap at or near the waist hem; alternatively the fastener may simply be located on a part of the flap that contacts the seat member.
  • Zips or other slit fasteners can be provided for fastening the slits in normal use of the garment. If so, the user releases the slit fasteners prior to lowering the seat member.
  • Figure 1 shows a wheelchair in a normal configuration.
  • the wheelchair is generally conventional in form except for a seat member 2.
  • the wheelchair comprises two front vertical frame elements 4 and two rear vertical frame elements 6, the seat member 2 extending between all four vertical frame members.
  • Another potential distinction between the wheelchair of Figure 1 and a conventional wheelchair is that the wheelchair of Figure 1 has no transverse frame elements extending between the two rear vertical frame elements 6 below the seat member 2, even if the wheelchair can be folded.
  • the seat member 2 conveniently comprises a rigid planar member and optionally an attached cushion.
  • the seat member is journalled on a transverse shaft 8 extending between the two front vertical frame elements 4 and through a cylindrical passage at the front of the seat member 2.
  • FIG 3 shows an example of how how the seat member 2 can be carried by the rear vertical frame elements 6.
  • Latching handles 10 extend through passages that extend through the rear vertical frame elements 6 as well as supports 12.
  • the inner ends of the latching handles 10 terminate in latches 14, which have lower surfaces that slope upwardly in the inner direction.
  • Each latching handle 10 carries a compression spring 16 within the respective passage.
  • the inner end of the spring 16 abuts a projection on the latching handle 10, whilst the outer end is captive within the passage.
  • the outer ends of the latching handles 10 are formed as downwardly-extending handle parts 18.
  • a fastener in this example an eye 20, is located at the rear of the seat member 2.
  • the wheelchair can be used in the same manner as a conventional wheelchair.
  • Figure 4 shows an example of a pair of trousers according to the invention.
  • Two zips 26 are provided, one at each side, running from the waistband 28 of the trousers to a point below the front pocket entrances.
  • a flap 30 is defined by the zips 26 and the rear half of the waistband 28.
  • a cord 32 extends from the rear midpoint of the waistband 28 and terminates in a hook 34.
  • a wheelchair user dons the trousers, and inserts the hook 34 into the eye 20 as he or she sits in the wheelchair. Prior to toileting, the user unfastens the zips 26. When the seat member 2 is released in the manner described above, as it swings down, the eye 20 and the cord 32 pull the flap 30 down. In this way, the user can use the toilet without the otherwise awkward operation of lowering his or her trousers.
  • a skirt according to the invention is provided with a flap similar to the flap 26 of the trousers described above.
