3.1 Introduzione e campi di applicazioni : La presente invenzione concerne un sistema parapioggia/ sole agganciabile a carrozzelle per disabili, sia manuale che elettriche. Esso si aggancia dietro sedile e rimane chiuso compatto. Per l’uso, ! distende a rotazione , anche con l’ausilio di opportuno levismo.si blocca fine corsa Le coperture sono innovative, del tipo a calotte sferiche ..Opportune finestre consentono l’accesso di ulteriore presa d’aria . I campi applicazione sono : per carrozzelle disabili, sia manuali, che elettriche . 3.1 Introduction and fields of applications: The present invention relates to a rain / sun protection system that can be hooked to wheelchairs for the disabled, both manual and electric. It hooks behind the seat and remains compactly closed. For use,! it spreads in rotation, also with the aid of an appropriate lever. it stops at the end of the stroke. The covers are innovative, of the spherical cup type .. Appropriate windows allow access for additional air intake. The fields of application are: for disabled wheelchairs, both manual and electric.

3,2 .Stato Atuale dell'arte : Le attuali carrozzelle per disabili, non dispongono di coperture . Per ripararsi da pioggia/sole, occorre usare il classico ombrello per accompagnatore (dietro che spinge) , un altro per il disabile ( seduto ) . 3.2. Current state of the art: The current wheelchairs for the disabled do not have covers. To shelter from rain / sun, it is necessary to use the classic umbrella for a companion (behind that pushes), another for the disabled (seated).

3,3 Inconvenienti Attuali : Nel caso di carrozzella manuale, il disabile deve spingere la carrozzella usando entrambe mani, forzando le relative ruote supplementari . Ciò’ rende quasi impossibile a mantenere anche un classico ombrello. Lo stesso vale per un possibile accompagnatore : egli deve spingere e nello stesso tempo deve mantenere il classico ombrello per ripararsi , ed il disabile che sta sulla carrozzella si deve pure ripa -rare . Nel caso di carrozzelle elettriche , il disabile ha mani libere , ma deve comunque usare un ombrello per ripararsi, ma la copertura non e’ ottimale, causa raffiche pioggia oblique e vorticose . 3.3 Current drawbacks: In the case of a manual wheelchair, the disabled person must push the wheelchair using both hands, forcing the relative additional wheels. This makes it almost impossible to keep even a classic umbrella. The same is true for a possible companion: he must push and at the same time he must keep the classic umbrella to take shelter, and the disabled person who is in the wheelchair must also repair himself. In the case of electric wheelchairs, the disabled person has hands free, but must still use an umbrella to shelter, but the coverage is not optimal, due to oblique and swirling rain gusts.

3.4 Vantaggi del trovato : Il trovato elimina i suddetti inconvenienti: nel caso delle carrozzella manuale, il trovato assicura sia una copertura spaziale a forma di calotta sferica all’ accompagnatore , che spinge, sia una al disabile s seduto , (copertura secondaria a forma di coppia calotte sferiche) .Ciò’ comporta massima liberta alle mani, sia una protezione ottimale, piu’ conforme al volume utile. Lo stesso vale per carrozzella elettrica, ove la copertura secondaria e’ un di piu’ ,per un maggior volume utile . 3.4 Advantages of the invention: The invention eliminates the aforementioned drawbacks: in the case of manual wheelchairs, the invention ensures both a spatial cover in the shape of a spherical cap for the carer, who pushes, and one for the disabled person sitting, (secondary cover in the shape of a spherical cup pair) .This results in maximum freedom for the hands, as well as optimal protection, more consistent with the useful volume. The same applies to electric wheelchair, where the secondary cover is one more, for a greater useful volume.

3.8 Funzionamento : Si aggancia il trovato alla carrozzella dei disabili utilizzando i relativo il sistema d’aggancio 4 ,05 .secondo il tipo di carrozzella Per quella manuale, si ha. : si regola la distanza coppia dispostivi d’aggncio 4a, in modo da agganciarli ai pioli per spingere, dietro sedile carrozzella ..Si bloccano entrambi con dispositivi 4a2, 4a4 Per carrozzella elettrica si ha: si appoggia asse rotazione 3a in posizione orizzontale sul telaio sedile carrozzella , avendo cura di agganciare le ganasce 6a3 tra asse rota --zione ed assi verticali spalliera . Si fissa con coppia dispositivi 6a4 ad assi verticale. Per aprire la cappotta, si sblocca fermo alla carrozzella , si trascina il primo telaio quattro 2b ( quello interno) si fa ruotare verso alto ed avanti . Si blocca con fermo 2f alla carroz --zella. Il dispositivo elastico 2e rende l’assieme flessibile . Nel caso che il disabile deve effettuare l’operazione da solo , egli può ‘usare il sistema sistema sollevamento telescopico 5 a leva: si distende asse 5b , tramite impugnatura a fine corsa fa leva 5b1 , e spinge facendo ruotare verso basso . La cappotta si apre parzialmente, .distendendo primi due telai, (calotta sferica secondaria ) Poi usando altra mano (esempio sinistra ) , afferra il telaio pilota ( quarto interno) e continua la corsa di apertura fino alla fine ..Se si desidera una ulteriore boccata d’aria (essa entra da sotto ) apre le fessure 1d,2d, bloccando le relative chiusure a strappo 1d1,2d1 . 3.9 Chiusura : Il trovatoe’suscettibile di numerose modifiche e variazioni, rientranti nel concetto inventivo, Inoltre sono sostituibili con altri tecnicamente equivalenti. 3.8 Operation: The device is hooked to the wheelchair for the disabled using the relative coupling system 4, 05. According to the type of wheelchair. For the manual one, we have. : the distance of the pair of coupling devices 4a is adjusted, so as to hook them to the pegs to push, behind the wheelchair seat .. Both are locked with devices 4a2, 4a4 For electric wheelchair it is: the rotation axis 3a rests in a horizontal position on the frame wheelchair seat, taking care to hook the jaws 6a3 between the rotation axis and the vertical backrest axes. It can be fixed with a pair of 6a4 devices with vertical axes. To open the hood, it is released firmly to the wheelchair, the first frame four 2b (the internal one) is dragged and rotated upwards and forwards. It locks with lock 2f to the carriage. The elastic device 2e makes the assembly flexible. In the event that the disabled person has to carry out the operation alone, he can 'use the lever telescopic lifting system 5: axis 5b extends, lever 5b1 by means of the handle at the end of the stroke, and pushes by rotating it downwards. The canopy opens partially, spreading the first two frames, (secondary spherical canopy) Then using another hand (left example), grab the pilot frame (internal quarter) and continue the opening stroke to the end. a breath of air (it enters from below) opens the slits 1d, 2d, blocking the relative hook and loop fasteners 1d1,2d1. 3.9 Closure: The invention is subject to numerous modifications and variations, falling within the inventive concept. Furthermore, they can be replaced with other technically equivalent ones.
