Description

  The present invention relates to a rain guard that is attached to a wheelchair for use.

  As rain guards for wheelchair users, poncho-like ones that either wear raincoats and ride in wheelchairs or wear a vinyl covering the entire chair from their heads were used.

  In recent years, rain guards for wheelchairs, which are vinyl sheets stretched on an arched frame and open and close in a bellows fashion, are commercially available.

JP 2003-230603 A

  For wheelchair users, wearing raincoats is laborious. In addition, the poncho-like vinyl worn by the wheelchair is not good because it is swept away by the wind or entangled with the wheels.

  Patent Document 1 discloses an invention relating to a bellows type rain protection cover in which a transparent sheet stretched around a U-shaped frame attached to a column of a wheelchair rotates and opens and closes over the head. Currently commercially available wheelchair rain protection seats are based on the technology of the invention in that they are attached to a column and rotate the bellows.

  However, the rain protection cover of Patent Document 1 and the rain protection sheet currently on the market have the following three problems. First, since it is not possible to fold the wheelchair with the rain guard installed, it was necessary to remove the rain guard each time it was necessary to fold the wheelchair on the go, and secondly, it was removed from the wheelchair. The rain protection main body can be stored in a form that assembles the frame in the front-rear direction, but the arch shape of the frame itself cannot be collapsed, so it can not be folded down further, and a large storage space is required for storage Thirdly, it was difficult to remove the base even when the rain guard was not used, because a tool was required for mounting the base to mount the rain guard main body. That was getting in the way.

  In view of the above problems, in the present invention, the mounting of the base is simple, the wheelchair can be folded together with the main body mounted on the wheelchair, and the main body can be stored compactly when removed. It is an object to provide a repellent.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a rain guard according to claim 1 includes a main body portion and a base portion, and the main body portion includes a plurality of frames bridged laterally above a seating portion, and the frame. A plurality of transparent sheets stretched, and a pair of attachments for pivotally connecting the end portions of the plurality of frames and for detachably attaching the main body portion to the base portion. This frame can be bent by a hinge-type joint disposed in the center in the longitudinal direction. With the frame having the joints, the rain protection body can be folded and stored not only in the front-rear direction but also in the left-right direction.

  The rain guard according to claim 2 is the rain guard according to claim 1, wherein the base portion has a band, and the tool is not used by wrapping the band around the armrest strut of the wheelchair. The base portion can be detachably attached to the elbow rest strut of the wheelchair. Since the base can be attached to the column without using a tool, it is not necessary to leave the base attached to the column when the rain guard is not used.

  By adopting a frame with joints, the rain guard body can be folded in the left-right direction, so that it is possible to fold the wheelchair sideways while wearing the rain guard. As a result, when it is necessary to fold the wheelchair on the road on a rainy day, it is possible to avoid the detour work of removing the rain guard from the wheelchair. In addition, since the arch shape can be stored while the main body is removed, the rain guard main body can be stored in a space similar to an umbrella.

  Since the base can be attached to the support by wrapping the band without using a tool, it became possible to easily remove the base from the support when the rain guard was not used. As a result, when the rain guard is not used, the base attached to the support column does not interfere with the user or the assistant.

It is a schematic side view which shows the state which mounted | wore the wheelchair with the rain guard and expand | deployed. It is a schematic side view which shows the state which folded the rain protection device backward. It is a schematic perspective view which shows the state which mounted | wore the wheelchair with the rain guard and expand | deployed. It is a schematic perspective view which shows the state folded, after folding a rain guard in the back direction, with the wheelchair. It is a perspective view of the attachment part and base part of a rain guard main-body part. It is a photograph which shows the state folded up sideways with a wheelchair, after folding a rain guard backward.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a rain guard for wheelchair according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The rain guard of the present embodiment (hereinafter referred to as “main rain guard”) is the rain guard of claim 2.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the rain guard includes a main body portion 1 and a base portion 2. In the main body 1, a transparent vinyl sheet is stretched on an arch-shaped frame 11. In the present embodiment, four frames are pivotally mounted on the fixture 13 so as to expand or close in a bellows manner. FIG. 1 shows an open state, and FIG. 2 shows a closed state.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the base portion 2 includes a base 2, a presser 22, and a claw 23, and when the main body is mounted, the mounting portion 13 is inserted between the base 2 and the presser 22, It is the structure which is temporarily fixed with. Thereby, the main body 1 is detachably attached to the base 2.

  The first feature of the present invention is that, as shown in FIG. 3, a hinge-type joint 111 is disposed at the center in the longitudinal direction of the frame 11 and can be bent at the zenith portion. With this configuration, the wheelchair 3 can be folded in the lateral direction while the rain protection main body 1 is mounted on the wheelchair 3 (FIG. 4). FIG. 6 is a photograph showing a state in which the wheelchair is folded with the rain guard attached.

  The second feature of the present invention is that it is not necessary to use a tool when attaching the base portion 2 to the elbow support column 31 of the wheelchair. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, a band 24 is attached to the base plate 21 of the base portion 2, and when the base portion 2 is attached to the wheelchair 3, the band 24 is wound around the elbow support column 31 and tightened. That's fine. When removing, the band 24 is loosened.

  As mentioned above, although the features and excellent points of the present invention have been described in the above embodiment, the present invention widely uses the words used in the claims of the utility model registration within the scope of the principle of the present invention. It can be extended to a practical meaning. For example, the specific shape and number of the frames 11 can be changed as appropriate. Moreover, about the base part 2, on the condition that it has the band 24, it can be set as the structure different from the claw pressing method employ | adopted by this embodiment. It is understood that these different implementations from the present embodiment are also included in the technical scope of the present invention as long as they are not different from the description of the utility model registration request.
