Tiltable wheelchair
A tiltable wheelchair comprises a tilt seat guide assembly supported in relation to a base frame and a first roller supported in relation to the tilt seat guide assembly for supporting a seat frame for movement in relation to the base frame. The first roller is movable along the tilt seat guide assembly in fore and aft directions to enable tilt of the seat frame in relation to the base frame. A link arm may be connected between the base frame and seat frame to urge the seat frame upward and rearward to tilt the seat frame as the first roller moves in a forward direction. A second roller may be provided to cooperate with a guide rail, which is supported in relation to the tilt seat guide assembly, so as to track the movement of the first roller and prevent lateral translation of the seat frame in relation to the base frame. A locking device may be provided for holding the seat frame in a desired position.
Patient Transport Apparatus Having Caster Assembly Biasing Mechanisms
A patient transport apparatus including a support structure movable between a chair configuration for traversing floor surfaces and a stowed configuration for storage. A seat section is pivotably coupled to the support structure. A caster assembly includes a pin coupled to the support structure and defining a swivel axis, a caster frame arranged to pivot about the swivel axis between a plurality of caster orientations, a wheel coupled to the caster frame and arranged for engagement with the floor in the chair configuration, and a biasing mechanism interposed between the caster frame and the pin. The biasing mechanism urges the caster frame toward a stowed caster orientation in response to disengagement between the wheel and floor surfaces occurring as the support structure moves from the chair configuration to the stowed configuration.
Mobile stander with enhanced adjustability and storage
A stander device with improvements to facilitate and/or make more convenient the adjustment and/or repositioning of various elements of the stander device for sizing and comfort of a patient/user, as well as making the folding, storage, and transportation thereof more convenient.
FOLDABLE MOBILITY AID
A foldable mobility aid has a base, a foldable frame, a first spring-plunger assembly, and a chair. The foldable frame has a first frame-body, a second frame-body, and a guiding assembly. Each of the first and the second frame-body-bodies has a pivoting end pivotally connected to the base and a free end being swingable. The guiding assembly has a rail disposed at the first frame-body and a guiding unit disposed at the second frame-body and movable along the rail. The first spring plunger has a mount fixed to the first frame-body and a spring plunger fixed to the second frame-body. The chair has a seat pivotally connected to one of the first and the second frame-body-bodies. Wherein, a plunger body of the spring plunger is able to engage with an engaging hole of the mount to keep the foldable frame expanded.
PERSONAL MOBILITY VEHICLE
This application relates to a personal mobility vehicle. The vehicle comprises: a front leg unit, including a front vehicle body and a front wheel mounted thereon; a rear leg unit, including a rear vehicle body and a rear wheel mounted thereon; a seat unit pivotally connected to the front vehicle body and/or rear vehicle body; a backrest unit including a backrest pivotally connected to the seat unit; and a slider on the rear vehicle body, pivotally connected to the seat unit and/or backrest unit. As the slider moves, the front vehicle body and rear vehicle body move apart or toward each other, while the seat unit rotates. The vehicle facilitates folding and unfolding, improving the user experience.
Frame for a wheelchair
Disclosed is a folding wheelchair having a plurality of support members each having a first and a second end, a first separation distance measured between the respective first ends of a second support member and a fourth support member, a second separation distance measured between the respective second ends of the second support member and a fourth support member, a third separation distance measured between the respective first ends of the first support member and the third support member, wherein the wheelchair can be disposed in an open position and a folded position and, in the open position, the first separation distance is shorter than the second separation distance, the first separation distance is shorter than the third separation distance, and the second separation distance is shorter than the third separation distance. An intersection angle of the second and fifth support members is less than 55 degrees.
