FIG. 3 shows a skate for a disabled person according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, a heating means for applying heat to the first skate blade portion or the second skate blade portion is further provided.

For example, the heating means may include a battery 1 installed in the base portion 30, a battery 1 installed in the first skate blade portion or the second skate blade portion 50 and electrically connected to the battery 1, And a Peltier element (3) for emitting heat to the skate blade (50).

The battery 1 is preferably installed in a hollow space formed in the lower portion of the seat portion.

The Peltier element 1 serves to heat the first skate blade part or the second skate blade part 50. [

The Peltier element 3 is a thermoelectric element in which one side is cooled and the other side is heated by supplying electricity, and is applied to various industrial fields. The cooling surface of the Peltier element 3 is a heat absorbing portion, and the heating surface is a heat dissipating portion.

When power is supplied from the battery 1, heat is radiated from the heat dissipating portion of the Peltier element 3, and heat is radiated to heat the blade 55. Therefore, the water film is easily formed on the surface of the ice sheet contacting with the blade 55, which facilitates sliding.

4 to 6 show a skate for a disabled person according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figs. 4 to 6, the illustrated skate has further steering means.

In the embodiment of FIG. 1, since the first and second skate blade portions 40 and 50 are fixed to the base portion, it is very difficult to change the direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the steering means is provided so that the protector can easily change the direction of the skate.

The steering means rotates the first skate blade portion 40 within the angle range set in the left or right direction by the rotation of the handle portion 70. [ That is, the second skate blade part 50 is held in a fixed state and the first skate blade part 40 is rotatable by the operation of the protector so that the direction can be switched.

To this end, the base portion of the present invention comprises a fixed plate 31, a rotating plate 35, and a rotating shaft 37 for rotatably coupling the rotating plate to the fixed plate.

The fixing plate 31 is formed in a rectangular plate shape to support the seating portion 10. And the support leg 15 is fixed to the upper surface of the fixing plate 31. [ And the second skate blade portion 50 is engaged with the lower surface side of the lower surface of the fixing plate 31. [

The rotary plate 35 is provided on the lower front side of the fixing plate 31. The rotary plate (35) is spaced apart from the fixed plate (31) by a certain distance. The rotary plate 35 is formed in a rectangular plate shape smaller than the fixed plate 31. A first skate blade part 40 provided on the lower surface of the rotary plate 35 is provided.

The lower portion of the rotary shaft 37 is fixedly coupled to the rotary plate 35. And the upper portion of the rotating shaft 37 is rotatably coupled to the fixed plate 31. Therefore, in a state where the fixing plate 31 is fixed, the rotation plate 35 can rotate in the left or right direction about the rotation axis 37. [

The steering means includes a steering shaft 80 connected to the handle 70 and extending to the lower side of the fixed plate 31 and a support bracket 80 mounted on the back surface of the backrest 13 for supporting the steering shaft 80 in a rotatable manner. And a connection unit for transmitting rotation force of the steering shaft 80 to the rotation plate 35 to rotate the rotation plate 35. [

The handle 70 is composed of a U-shaped bent frame 71 and a gripping part 75 coupled to both ends of the frame 71.

The steering shaft 80 is coupled to the lower portion of the frame 71 and extends downwardly. The steering shaft 80 is rotatably supported by supporting brackets 81 and 83 provided on the back surface of the backrest 13. [ The support brackets 81 and 83 may be installed on the back surface of the backrest 13 in such a manner that two or more of the support brackets 81 and 83 are vertically spaced apart from each other. When the backrest portion 13 is inclined, the lengths of the support brackets 80 and 83 may be different from each other. The supporting brackets 81 and 83 are provided with a bearing unit, and the steering shaft 80 is coupled to the bearing unit.

The lower end of the steering shaft 80 penetrates the fixing plate 31 up and down. The lower end of the steering shaft 80 is connected to the rotary plate 35 by a connecting unit. The connection unit transmits rotation force of the steering shaft (80) to the rotation plate (35) to rotate the rotation plate (35).

The connecting unit includes a first fixing bar 90 coupled to one side of the outer side of the steering shaft 80 and extending in a direction away from the steering shaft 80, a first fixing bar 90 about the steering shaft 80, A second fixing bar 91 formed to be symmetrical with respect to the steering shaft 80 and coupled to the other side of the outer side of the steering shaft 80 and extending in a direction away from the steering shaft 80, A second link bar 94 hinged to the left upper surface of the rotary plate 35 and a second link bar 94 hinged to the second fixing bar 91 and hinged to the right upper surface of the rotary plate 35, And a link bar 95.

The first and second fixing bars 90 and 91 are positioned below the fixing plate 31. The first fixed bar 90 extends in the left direction on the steering shaft 80 and the second fixed bar 91 extends in the right direction on the steering shaft 80. The first fixing bar 90 and the second fixing bar 91 may be installed at intervals of 180 degrees.

One side of the first link bar 94 is hinged by the first fixing bar 90 and the hinge shaft 93. The other side of the first link bar 94 is hinged by the fixing plate 31 and the hinge shaft 97.

One side of the second link bar 95 is hinged by the second fixing bar 91 and the hinge shaft 93. The other side of the second link bar 95 is hinged by the fixing plate 31 and the hinge shaft 97.

When the guard 70 is rotated in the left or right direction by the above-described connecting unit, the steering shaft 80 is rotated in the left or right direction while being supported by the supporting brackets 81 and 83. [ When the steering shaft 80 rotates, the first and second fixing bars 90 and 91 rotate, and the rotary plate 35 rotates in the left or right direction. As the rotary plate 35 rotates, the first skate blade 40 installed on the rotary plate 35 rotates at a certain angle, and the protector can easily change the direction.

On the other hand, it is preferable to provide a return unit so that the rotation plate 35 can quickly return to the home position after the direction change.

The return unit pushes back one of the first and second fixing bars when the steering shaft 80 rotates, and the other pushes forward the pulling force to return the rotary plate 35.

This return unit is installed at the lower part of the fixing plate 31. [ In the illustrated example, the return unit includes first and second locking projections 100 and 105, and first and second coil sections 103 and 107.

The first and second locking projections 100 and 105 are formed to protrude downward on the lower surface of the fixing plate 31.

The first locking projection 100 is provided on the left side of the fixing plate 31 and the second locking projection 105 is provided on the right side of the fixing plate 31. The first locking projection 100 is located in front of the first fixing bar 90 and the second locking projection 105 is located in front of the second fixing bar 91. The rotation angles of the first and second fixing bars 90 and 91 are limited to a certain degree depending on the positions of the first and second locking projections 100 and 105.

One side of the first coil part 103 is coupled to the first locking projection 100, and the other side is coupled to the first fixing bar 90. One side of the second coil portion 107 is coupled to the second locking protrusion 105, and the other side is coupled to the second fixing bar 91. The first coil portion 103 and the second coil portion 107 may be springs.

Such a return unit can have a good return effect with a simple structure. That is, when the steering shaft 80 rotates, a change in the distance between the first fixing bar 90 and the first engaging projection 100 becomes a change in distance between the second fixing bar 91 and the second engaging projection 107 It is the opposite. That is, when the first fixing bar 90 is brought close to the first locking protrusion 100, the second fixing bar 91 moves away from the second locking protrusion 105. When the first fixing bar 90 is moved away from the first locking protrusion 105, The second fixing bar 91 is brought close to the second locking protrusion 105. As shown in Fig. The return unit uses this characteristic.

When the first fixing bar 90 is brought close to the first locking protrusion 100, the first coil part 103 moves the first fixing bar 90 in a direction away from the first locking protrusion 100, As shown in Fig. The second fixing bar 91 is moved away from the second locking protrusion 105 so that the second coil portion 107 is moved in the direction in which the second fixing bar 91 is brought close to the second locking protrusion 105, And has an elastic force to pull the plate forward. On the contrary, when the first fixing bar 90 moves away from the first locking projection 100, the first coil part 103 has an elastic force in a direction to pull the first fixing bar 90 forward. The second fixing bar 91 is brought close to the second locking protrusion 105 so that the second coil part 107 has an elastic force in a direction to push the second fixing bar 91 backward.

Since the pulling force is applied to one of the first and second fixing bars and the pushing force is applied to the other one of the first and second fixing bars irrespective of the rotational direction, a rotational moment to rotate the steering shaft in the same direction is generated, Return is possible.

On the other hand, excessive rotation of the steering shaft 80 can be prevented by the first and second engaging projections 100 and 105. When the steering shaft 80 rotates, any one of the first and second fixing bars 90 and 91 is caught by any one of the first and second locking projections 100 and 105, . ≪ / RTI >

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be clearly understood that the same is by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation. Accordingly, the true scope of protection of the present invention should be determined only by the appended claims.
