It is a back perspective view showing the example of the form of the running stopper of a wheelchair.

  Hereinafter, the example of the dirt wiping tool for wheelchair main wheels concerning the present invention is explained in detail based on an accompanying drawing (Drawing 1-Drawing 8). The dirt wiping tool for a wheelchair main wheel of the present invention causes the wiping member 20 to come into contact with the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11 of the wheelchair 10 as a surface along the traveling direction of the main wheel 11, and the main wheel 11 is soiled. Is held in a state where it can be wiped off.

  A wiping member storage box 30 is attached to the wheelchair 10 and includes a front end surface holding portion 31 and a front end surface holding portion 31 that are in contact with the front end surface 21 of the wiping member 20 and the lower surface 22 of the front tip portion, and a lower surface holding portion 32 of the front tip portion. The lower surface opening 35 is provided by providing the side walls 33 and 34 that regulate the movement of the wiping member 20 in the width direction of the main wheel 11. The wiping member storage box 30 is attached and fixed to the wheelchair 10 on the side wall portion 33 side, and the side wall portion 34 side is located outside.

  According to the wiping member storage box 30, the wiping member 20 can be stored easily and appropriately. That is, with a simple and inexpensive configuration, the wiping member 20 can properly contact the outer peripheral surface 12 (the tire outer peripheral surface) of the main wheel 11 of the wheelchair 10 to effectively remove dirt, and the wiping member 20 can be removed. It can be easily put in and out and used easily.

  More specifically, whether the user of the wheelchair 10 rotates the main wheel 11 himself or when the wheelchair 10 is driven by an assistant, the main wheel 11 is rotated forward, which is a forward rotation. When the main wheel 11 is rotated, the wiping member 20 is pushed forward. At that time, the wiping member 20 holds the lower surface of the front end surface holding portion 31 and the front end portion of the wiping member storage box 30. It is properly received by the portion 32 and does not fall off, and does not bite between the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11 and the wiping member storage box 30. At the same time, the wiping member 20 is pressed by the front end surface holding portion 31 receiving a force dragged forward by the rotation of the main wheel 11, and the wiping member 20 is pressed against the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11 to be appropriate. Will be in pressure contact. According to this, the wiping member 20 suitably cleans the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11 by wiping with an appropriate pressure.

  Further, the wiping member storage box 30 may include a rear end surface holding portion 36 that contacts the rear end surface 26 and the lower surface 27 of the rear tip portion of the wiping member 20 and a lower surface holding portion 37 of the rear tip portion. According to this, even if the wiping member 20 is pushed backward by the rotation operation of the main wheel 11 that rotates the main wheel 11 in the reverse direction, it does not fall off and the outer peripheral surface of the main wheel 11 12 and the wiping member storage box 30, and as described above, the wiping member 20 is suitably cleaned by wiping the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11 with an appropriate pressure. Become.

  In this embodiment, the wiping member 20 is a towel and is wound into a bar-like towel. The stick-like hand towel is a form formed by rolling a cloth such as a hand towel as it is or depending on the case, into a plurality of folds. According to this, it is the appropriate wiping member 20 which has moderate hardness and elasticity, and has the softness which can contact the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11 moderately.

  Further, the wiping member 20 is not limited to a towel, but is not limited to a disposable non-woven fabric or a cloth material, and is made of paper or plastic material, a sponge-like material, or wet with water. Of course, it is not limited to a thing (wet towel etc.), Of course, known techniques, such as a dry state and a thing wet with liquids other than water (cleaning liquid etc.), can be used selectively as appropriate.

1-4, the wiping member storage box 30 is attached to the side plate 15 of the wheelchair provided below the handrail portion 14 of the wheelchair 10 with bolts and nuts.
According to this, since the wiping member storage box 30 can be easily mounted at an appropriate position of the wheelchair 10 and is close to the handrail portion 14, the user of the wheelchair 10 can easily put in and out the wiping member 20. Can do.

5 to 8, the wiping member storage box 30 is mounted on the vertical frame 16 of the wheelchair by the U-shaped bolt 17.
This also makes it possible to easily attach the wiping member storage box 30 to an appropriate position of the wheelchair 10. Further, since the wiping member storage box 30 is mounted on the rear side of the wheelchair 10, an assistant who cares for the user of the wheelchair 10 can easily put in and out the wiping member 20 together with the operation of the wheelchair 10. it can.

  In this embodiment, an upper surface lid 38 is provided so that the upper surface of the wiping member storage box 30 can be opened and closed. The top cover 38 can be locked in a closed state by a top cover stopper 39. The top cover 38 can press the wiping member 20 stored in the wiping member storage box 30. For this reason, the wiping member 20 can be appropriately pressed against the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11, and cleaning by wiping can be appropriately performed.

  Each member of the wiping member storage box 30 (front end surface holding portion 31, front lower end holding portion 32, side wall portions 33, 34, rear end holding portion 36, rear lower end holding portion 37) The form is not particularly limited as long as the wiping member 20 can be appropriately retained. For example, each member is not limited to a plate-like material that forms a normal box, and may be formed of a lattice-like or fence-like member, a mesh-like member, or a perforated plate. Good. According to a member such as a lattice or a member having unevenness, the wiping member 20 can be held more appropriately so as not to slip.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, the upper surface cover 38 of the wiping member storage box 30 may be attached to the outer side wall portion 34 with a hinge, and the inner side may be opened and closed. According to this, since the inside opens, there is an advantage that a wheelchair user can easily operate. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 9, the upper surface lid 38 may be mounted so as to be inclined toward the outer hinge. The inclined portion can be configured compactly, and the upper surface lid 38 can easily press the wiping member 20, so that the wiping member 20 can be appropriately pressed against the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11. According to this, the wiping effect by the wiping member 20 can be improved.

Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, a main wheel stopper 40 is provided so as to prevent the rotation of the main wheel 11 by abutting against the spokes 13 of the main wheel 11.
According to this, the assistant who cares the user of the wheelchair 10 can easily perform the parking operation of the wheelchair together with the driving operation of the wheelchair 10.

  Furthermore, you may provide the brush 50 (refer FIG. 7) in the back side of the storage box 30 for wiping members. According to this, before wiping off the outer peripheral surface 12 of the main wheel 11 by the wiping member 20, the outer peripheral surface 12 can be brushed, and dirt can be effectively removed.

  As described above, the present invention has been described in various ways with preferred embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and many modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. That is.
