LEG SUPPORT FOR INVALIDS' FOLDING CHAIRS Filed Aug. 25, 1950 2 SHEETS-SHEET 2 Patented Apr. 7, 1 953 SQPATENT OFFICE LEGVSUPPORQT "Foe INVALIDS FOLDING 01mins V j Herman MartinThompson, Lemay, Mo. Application August 25, 1950, Serial No. 181,370
The invention relates to invalids chairs, particularly of the wheeled type adapted to be folded readily for transportation in an automobile or otherwise and the invention consists in a leg support to extend outwardly from the seat when in use and to be folded with the 1 chair when the chair is'folded.
When a person using a wheeled chair has his leg in a cast or otherwise immobile, it is a common practice to insert one end of a crutch,
or a similarly rigid board, under the patients buttocks so that the crutch or board sticks straight out from the seat to afford a support for the leg. Obviously this is uncomfortable for the patient, particularly after extended use, and does not afford any adjustment as to the angle between the leg and the body. Ifthe patient is notambulatory, and hence does not have other use of the crutch, it means that he must take the'crutch with him and handle it, in addition to the chair, when transporting the chair.
The main object of the present invention is "to provide a leg support on an invalids chair which may be adjusted to different angles with the chair seat and which may be folded with the chair when the chair is folded.
Another object is to embody the chair support in a complete unit which may be readily applied to existing chairs without changing the structure or machining the chairs;
Another object is to render theleg support readily shiftable from the right hand side of the chair to the left hand side of the chair.
These and other objects as will appear from the following description are attained by the structure illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side 'view of a wheeled chair now in general use equipped with the leg support referred to above.
Figure 2 is atop view of the structure shown '-in Figure 1 with the leg support shown in full lines at the right hand side of I the chair and shown in broken lines at the left hand side or otherwise secured to tube I9. A cross piece -of the chair. I Figure 3 is a front view of the structures shown inFigures 1 and 2.
Figure 4 is a side view of the structure with the chair and leg support folded for transporting the chair.
Figure 5 is a front view of the folded chair 'andleg support as shown in Figure 4.
- Figures 6, '7, and 8 are detail views as will beexplained below. i The chair comprises-two side framesp'each a 11 Claims. (CL 30) including arear upright I, a front upright2, a
bottom horizontal 3, an arm 4, and a support 5 for the footrest or treadle 6. Each side frame mounts a wheel 1. Seat bars 8 extend between uprights I and 2 and are slidable vertically thereon. Horizontals 3 and seat bars 8 are connected by a pair of cross bars 9, pivoted to each other at I0, and hold the side frames parallel by accommodating their movement to and from each other. The seat II and back I2 arejof flexible material. Pilot wheels or casters I3 are mounted on the lower ends of uprights 2. All of the above described structureis well-known in the art and forms a part of the presentinvention only in combination with the leg support.
The leg support comprises a substantiallyrigid cradle I4 shown as an elongated U tube. This cradle is attached at one end to theuprights 2 and is supported intermediate its ends from one of the chairs foot treadles 6.
of tubes I5 and I6 and the interconnecting links I1, as indicated by the position of sleeve 20 in Figures 2 and 3, and when so positioned renders elements I5, I6, and IT into a substantially rigid unit from end to end. When both sleeves are moved toward the outer ends of tubes I5, I6 (Figure, 6), the transverse member may be doubled upon itself as indicated in Figures l and 5. I
The outer ends of tubes I5, I 6 terminate in ears I53 and IE3, respectively, and are provided with clips 2I connected by" screws withwingnuts 22'for ready attachment to the chair uprights'2. The ends of the legs of cradle I4 are welded 23 extends between and is pivoted to the cradle legs intermediate the ends of the cradle, "and a brace element 24 extends transversely of piece 23 and is telescopingly received in the brace element 25 provided at its end with a pivotal connection 26 terminating in a stud 21 for projectiongthrough the chair footrest treadle 6 whereit is secured by'a spring 28 and a nut 29. Brace elements 24 and 25 are separable and may be secured in adjusted positions by a pin 30 placed in selected aligned apertures in the two parts of the brace.
From the above description, it will be seen that the leg support comprising cradle l4, transverse members [5, I6, I1, I9, 20, and brace 24, 25 forms a complete unit, readily applicable to existing chairs by clamping clips 2| about the chair uprights and inserting connection 26 through one of the chair treadles. The cradle may then be adjusted to anyone of the positions indicated in Figure 1 by extending or retracting the brace elements 24, 25. The cradle may be shifted from the position shown in full lines in Figure 2 to the position shown in broken lines by removing wing nuts 22 and brace nut 29, withdrawing stud 21 from one treadle 6 and inserting it. in the other treadle and reversing the transverse member end for end, thus adapting the support for" the left leg instead of the right leg.
When. the chair is to be folded, .it isonlynecessary to slide the sleeve which is over links I1, usually sleeve 20, to the outer end. of. the transverse member and remove pin 30 from the brace.
Cradle l4 may then be swung upwardly and rearwardly over seat ll (Figure 1) and the transverse member may be folded. on its. links I"! to turn the cradle in a vertical: plane as the chair side frames are moved towards each other (Figures 4, 5). and leg support is readily and quickly effected for placing the chair in an automobile, streetcar,
or in a closet, and is. just as readily and quickly opened. out when it is to be used again.
If it is desired that the leg supportbe. a part of the original equipment of the chair, suitable simple brackets could be provided on uprights 2 for attachment of the ends of the transverse member.
The leg support is shown as formed of tubular exclusive use ofthose'modificationscoming within the scope of the claims is contemplated.
