Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable to improve the amenity under a cold environment in such as winter, night, etc., by equipping a heating seat to enable a seating part of a seat to be electrically warmed. SOLUTION: A seating part 1 is constituted of a heating seat 2 and a battery to supply electric energy to the heating seat 2 to warm a user's body. The heating seat 2 has a heat accumulating material and warms a user's body and make itself hard to be cooled. Further, the heating seat 2 is made attachable/ detachable by a connector, and the heating seat 2 is detached and used as connected to a home electric source to enable to be used separately when the wheelchair is not used. By detaching the heating seat 2 and preliminarily heating, the consumed power of the battery when the heating seat 2 is mounted and used on the wheelchair is reduced and the heating seat 2 can be used form longer time. Like that, user's body can be warmed when the wheelchair is used even under a cold environment in such as winter, night, etc.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

[0001] The present invention relates to a wheelchair.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, wheelchairs described in JIS T9201 are known.

FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b) show a front view and a side view of a conventional wheelchair, respectively.
0, a drive system 11, wheels 12, and a frame 13.

[0004]

In such a wheelchair, there is a demand for improved comfort in a cold environment such as winter or night.

An object of the present invention is to improve comfort in a cold environment such as winter or night.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides an electric heating seat in which a seating portion of a seat can be electrically heated. As a result, a wheelchair with improved comfort in a cold environment such as winter or night can be obtained.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The invention according to claim 1 of the present invention is provided with an electric heating seat and a battery for supplying electric energy to the electric heating seat, and has an action of warming the user's body. .

[0008] The invention according to claim 2 is that the heat storage material is provided in the electric heating seat, and has an effect that the body is heated and the electric heating seat is hard to cool.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the electric heating seat is detachable, and has an effect that only the electric heating seat can be used alone when the wheelchair is not used.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is an overall perspective view of a wheelchair according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. It has the action of warming the body.

FIG. 2 shows a cross section of the seating portion 1 of the wheelchair shown in FIG. Have

FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of a seating portion 1 of a wheelchair.
By having the electric heating seat 2 shown in FIG. 2, it has an action of warming the body of the user, and has a structure detachable with the connector 5. Therefore, when the wheelchair is not used, the electric heating seat 2 can be used alone by removing the electric heating seat 2 and connecting it to a household power supply or the like. Also, by removing the electric heating seat 2 from the wheelchair and warming it in advance, it is possible to reduce the power consumption of the battery 3 when used while being mounted on the wheelchair, and it is possible to use it for a long time.

In the above description, an example in which the electrothermal seat 2 is mounted on the seating portion 1 has been described.
The leg receiving portion 7 can be mounted similarly.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, there is obtained an advantageous effect that the body can be warmed even when using a wheelchair in a cold environment such as winter or night.
