I1 has indeed according to a first feature a platform supported by a chassis sustanté by three wheels. This platform is automobile thanks to an electric motor and dirigible thanks to a handlebar also serving as support and balancing for the user.
Elle est également conçue pour recevoir l'adjonction éventuelle d'un déambulateur verrouillable rapidement. Ainsi elle est utilisable comme moyen de transport en appartement, maison de retraite, centre hospitalier etc... It is also designed to accommodate the possible addition of a lockable walker quickly. Thus it is used as a means of transport in apartment, retirement home, hospital center etc ...
Une partie de cette plate-forme peut être escamotée pour permettre un espace de marche entre les poignées du guidon ou du déambulateur sur lesquelles le patient peut s'appuyer. Part of this platform can be retracted to allow a walking space between the handles of the handlebar or the walker on which the patient can rest.
Il bénéficie alors d'un support stable et totalement permanent dont le déplacement est géré. manuellement, en fonction de des capacités de marche, soit du guidon soit du déambulateur. En cas de fatigue le patient rabat le plancher et peut se faire transporter par l'appareil. It then enjoys a stable and totally permanent support whose movement is managed. manually, depending on walking ability, either the handlebar or the walker. In case of fatigue the patient folds the floor and can be transported by the device.
Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation le chassis peut comporter son propre déambulateur fixe. La motorisation peut être géré,,, par deux vitesses ou avec variateur de vitesse. Un inverseur peut permettre une marche arrière. Une articulation éventuelle peut permettre de plier l'ensemble pour en faciliter le transport. According to particular embodiments, the chassis may include its own fixed rollator. The motor can be managed ,,, by two speeds or with speed variator. An inverter can allow a reverse. A possible articulation can be used to fold the assembly for easy transport.
Les hauteurs des différents éléments d'appui sont réglables par système télescopique. The heights of the various support elements are adjustable by telescopic system.

En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte un chassis (1) en tube métallique de section rectangulaire de environ 70 mm 30mm en forme de U arrondi à l'avant et dont les bras s'écartent légèrement vers l'arrière dans un plan horizontal. Les extrémités arrières de ces bras sont ajourés en bas pour permettre la fixation de deux roulettes (2) non
With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a frame (1) made of metal tube of rectangular section of about 70 mm 30mm U-shaped rounded at the front and whose arms deviate slightly towards the rear in a horizontal plane . The rear ends of these arms are perforated at the bottom to allow the attachment of two wheels (2) no
qui sustenteront un plateau à quelques centimètres du sol (3). Ce plateau horizontal, métallique, rigide occupe les 3/4 arrières de la surface comprise entre les bras du chassis. I1 est composé de deux parties : une partie fixe (3) solidaire du chassis (1) qui encadre en avant et sur le côté une partie postéro-centrale (4) en forme de trapèze. Cette deuxième partie amovible peut s'escamoter par glissement ou pivotage autour d'un de ses côtés.
who will susten a tray a few centimeters from the ground (3). This horizontal, metallic, rigid plate occupies 3/4 rear of the surface between the arms of the chassis. I1 is composed of two parts: a fixed part (3) integral with the frame (1) which frames in front and on the side a postero-central part (4) in trapezoidal shape. This second removable part can retract by sliding or swiveling around one of its sides.
Un fer plat (5) de environ 60mm 6mm en forme d'arc de cercle convexe en haut, relie transversalement les deux bras du chassis au niveau antérieur du plateau (3). Cet arceau supporte au dessus de sa partie médiane une coh@.:> verticale en deux parties télescopiques (6) et (7). Le rôle de cette colonne est de maintenir solidement 1) En avant et en bas : un dispositif roue (8) motrice directionnelle,guidon (9) 2) En haut et en arrière, sur la partie télescopique mobile, un dispositif de verrouillage (12) pour stabiliser un éventuel déambulateur sur le chariot dont les pieds seront posés sur la partie fixe du plateau (3) (en butée contre les bords internes du chassis (1). Le courant arrivant au moteur électrique est fourni par une batterie (4) qui constitue avec le moteur un ensemble démontable et verrouillable aisément afin de permettre maintenance et nettoyage du chariot. La batterie est placée sur la partie antérieure fixe du plancher (3). Le moteur a un système de transmission à la roue par galet, et est auto-freiné dès coupure du courant (bloquant ainsi tout déplacement de l'ensemble). La commande du moteur est gérée par deux boutons poussoirs de commande placés selon les besoins, soit sur les poignées du déambulateur, soit sur celles du guidon. Par sécurité le patient devra appuyer simultanément avec ses deux pouces sur les deux boutons poussoirs pour déclencher la mise en marche. A flat iron (5) of approximately 60mm 6mm in the shape of a convex circular arc at the top, transversely connects the two arms of the frame to the previous level of the plate (3). This arch supports above its middle part a vertical coh @ .:> two telescopic parts (6) and (7). The role of this column is to hold firmly 1) Forwards and downwards: a device wheel (8) directional drive, handlebars (9) 2) Up and back, on the mobile telescopic part, a locking device (12) ) to stabilize a possible walker on the carriage whose feet will be placed on the fixed part of the plate (3) (abutting against the internal edges of the frame (1) The current arriving at the electric motor is provided by a battery (4) which together with the engine is easily removable and lockable to allow maintenance and cleaning of the truck The battery is placed on the fixed front part of the floor (3) The engine has a wheel-to-wheel transmission system and is self-braking when the current is cut off (thus blocking any movement of the assembly) The motor control is managed by two push buttons placed according to the needs, either on the handles of the déambu on the handlebars. For safety, the patient must simultaneously press both thumbs on both pushbuttons to trigger the start.
