Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] In accordance with the conditions that can be seen when walking in an elderly person with weakened legs and feet, three conditions are applicable: normal walking A, leaning walk B, and half-sitting small rest C. It is related to a walking assistance vehicle that can be used properly. [Structure] The hand push handle 5 rotates back and forth around a support shaft 8. The seat is tilted forward, and the stopper rod 10 moves up and down in conjunction with the vertical movement of the seat 13.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a walking assistance vehicle that is used when an elderly person who has weak legs and feet walks to assist walking.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a miniature baby carriage has been used as a walking assistance vehicle that assists walking. With regard to the position adjustment of the hand push handle 5, there were some that could change the height position by adjusting the length of the hand push rod 1, but there was no one that could change the position horizontally by rotating the hand push handle 5 back and forth. .

In addition, after the wheels are stopped by the brakes, many people sit on the seat 13 provided on the article storage box 12, but the one provided with the stopper rod 10 that interlocks with the movement of the seat 13 I can't find it.

Besides, the seat 13 is substantially horizontal.

[0005]

[Problems that the device is trying to solve]

 There are the following problems for elderly people with weak legs. When tired of hand-walking and leaning against the hand-handle 5, the conventional walking assistance vehicle becomes unstable, and the front wheel 14 rises around the rear wheel 15 as a fulcrum and there is a risk of falling.

Similarly, when the person sits down on the seat 13 for resting and the weight of his / her body is applied to the front end portion of the seat 13, there is a risk that the rear wheel 15 will rise around the front wheel 14 as a fulcrum and fall. there were.

[0007] Usually, an elderly person is more difficult to stand up than to sit down, so it is desirable to make sitting and leaving motion easier.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The structure of this invention will be explained. When the hand-pushing handle 5 leans against the tire and leans, the hand-pushing handle 5 is tilted forward.

When the person sits down, the stopper bar 10 projects downward to prevent the fall, and stops the ground.

Means such as tilting the seat 13 on which the person sits are used.

[0011]

[Action]

 According to the operation of the present invention, when the user is tired from walking and leans against the handwheel handle 5, the handwheel handle 5 is tilted forward to move the body weight application point between the axles of the front wheel 14 and the rear wheel 15. Therefore, the walking assistance vehicle is stable and will not fall.

When taking a break, the person sits down on the seat 13 which is the upper surface of the article storage box 12. A space is created between the seat 13 and the article storage box 12, and the seat 13 is pushed down by the weight of the body as the person sits down. At this time, the stopper bar 10 that is pushed by the seat 13 and interlocks also moves downward, and the tip of the stopper bar 10 stops the ground, stabilizing the walking assistance vehicle and preventing it from falling. The stopper rod 10 returns to its original upper position by the repulsive force of the coil spring 11 wound around the stopper rod 10 when the waist is lifted and the weight of the body is not applied.

Further, since the seat floor 13 is inclined, the seating point can be widely installed at any height position, and the seating surface can be selected at a waist height suitable for oneself. When you stand up, you can easily leave your seat.

[0014]

[Embodiment] The present invention can be carried out as follows. (A) On the hand-push handle 5, a plurality of rods or soft strips are laid parallel to the upper lateral rod 6 so that the user can lean on the leaning member B while walking and can put his elbows.

[0015]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. In the hand-pushing handle 5 of the first aspect, since it can be rotated back and forth by a predetermined angle, it is convenient to tilt the hand-pushing handle 5 at hand and use it when walking a little faster. Further, when tired of normal walking, the hand-pushing handle 5 can be tilted to the front and the user can walk while leaning against the hand-pushing handle 5. Since both normal walking A and leaning walking B are possible, this is suitable for assisting the walking of elderly people who are easily tired.

In the stopper rod 10 according to the second aspect, when the weight of the body is applied to the seat 13, the stopper rod 10 lowers downward and strongly presses the ground to firmly support the weight of the body, so that the person can sit down with peace of mind. be able to.

In the inclination of the seat 13 of the third aspect, since the height of the seat 13 can be arbitrarily selected along the inclination, it is possible to take a small rest in a semi-sitting posture without bending the knee too much. Therefore, sitting and leaving can be facilitated, and a sitting position suitable for the elderly can be provided.

In addition, by tilting the seat 13, there is an image that the baby stroller walks while being widely used, and gives a very different appearance impression from the stroller type that had a strange feeling. It has a refreshing feeling and also has the effect of promoting walking outdoors.
