[0050] In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the backrest frame assembly 40 further includes a support plate 45 (in FIG. 2) mounted on the tops of the two connecting members 41, and a synchronous connecting rod 44 (in FIG. 6) securely connected between the two fourth swinging levers 42.

[0051] In operation, referring to FIGS. 8 and 9, when the user is disposed at a sitting state, the medical rehabilitation chair is disposed at a normal state. A vertical angle is defined between the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1) and the backrest frame assembly 40 (or the backrest cushion 2), and between the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1) and the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3) of the leg support assembly 50. In addition, the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) of the leg support assembly 50 are folded inward and disposed under the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1).

[0052] As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when the user is disposed at a lying or reclining state, the telescopically arranged cylinder unit 21 of the telescopic damping driver 20 drives and rotates the main rotation rod 13 which drives and moves the two first swinging levers 16 which drive and push the two second fixed members 18. At the same time, the two first swinging levers 16 drive the two second swinging levers 19 to swing so that the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1) is moved backward. In such a manner, the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3) and the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) are rotated and swing upward until the two second fixed members 18 are in line with the two second swing members 53. Thus, the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3) and the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) are expanded.

[0053] As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, when the telescopically arranged cylinder unit 21 of the telescopic damping driver 20 further drives and rotates the main rotation rod 13, the two pivot ears 131 of the main rotation rod 13 successively push the two first swinging levers 16 upward, so that the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1), the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3), and the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) are lifted simultaneously. At the same time, the two first outer swinging levers 61 and the two second outer swinging levers 62 swing relative to the two lifting guide plates 11, and the two guide posts 65 of each of the two second outer swinging levers 62 are moved upward in the first elongate slot 5 and the second elongate slot 6 of one of the two lifting guide plates 11. When the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1) is lifted, each of the two connecting members 41 connected with one of the two seat frames 31 swings backward, so that the backrest frame assembly 40 (or the backrest cushion 2) is further inclined backward. Thus, the backrest frame assembly 40 (or the backrest cushion 2), the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1), the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3), and the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) are adjusted integrally to present a reclining or lying state.

[0054] On the contrary, when the telescopically arranged cylinder unit 21 of the telescopic damping driver 20 drives and rotates the main rotation rod 13 reversely, the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1) is lowered, so that the medical rehabilitation chair is returned to the normal state, and the user is disposed at the sitting state.

[0055] As shown in FIGS. 16-18, each of the two armrest boards 80 includes a hinge device 84 pivotally connected with one of the two side racks 101 of the main frame 10 so that each of the two armrest boards 80 is pivoted horizontally and outward. Thus, each of the two armrest boards 80 is opened. When each of the two armrest boards 80 is closed, the control board 91 of each of the two armrest board positioning devices 90 is stepped by the user, so that the positioning pin 93 is controlled and moved upward in the sliding tube 92 and inserted into the positioning hole 83 of the positioning member 82. Thus, the two armrest boards 80 are positioned to prevent the two armrest boards 80 from swinging sideward.

[0056] As shown in FIG. 19, when the swing pedal 110 of each of the two castor positioning devices 100 is treaded, the control crossbar 111 is rotated to move the fifth swinging lever 112 which moves the second driven lever 113 which moves the rocking bar 114 which moves the two third driven levers 115 which move the two fourth driven levers 116 which control and lock the castor devices 12 so that the castor devices 12 are locked and cannot be rotated. When the swing pedal 110 is treaded again, the castor devices 12 are unlocked and can be rotated freely. Finally, the linking bar 117 is connected between the two castor positioning devices 100 to simultaneously link and control rotation of four castor devices 12.

[0057] As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, when the footrest 71 is pulled outward by the user, the at least one slide rod 73 slides outward from the at least one hollow mounting sleeve 74 so that the footrest 71 protrudes outward from the main frame 10. In addition, the footrest 71 is moved smoothly by provision of the rollers 75. When the foot support assembly 70 is not in use, the footrest 71 is pushed inward and disposed under the main frame 10.

[0058] Accordingly, the medical rehabilitation chair has the following advantages.

[0059] 1. The medical rehabilitation chair includes a sitting mode, a lying mode, and a reclining mode. The reclining mode includes lifting and lowering operation.

[0060] When the user is disposed at the sitting state, the medical rehabilitation chair is disposed at a normal state. A vertical angle is defined between the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1) and the backrest frame assembly 40 (or the backrest cushion 2), and between the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1) and the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3) of the leg support assembly 50. In addition, the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) of the leg support assembly 50 are folded inward and disposed under the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1).

[0061] When the user is disposed at the lying state, the backrest frame assembly 40 (or the backrest cushion 2) is inclined backward, while the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3) and the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) of the leg support assembly 50 are expanded forward. In such a manner, the backrest frame assembly 40 (or the backrest cushion 2), the seat frame assembly 30 (or the seat cushion 1), the two first swing members 51 (or the first leg support cushion 3), and the two driven members 52 (or the second leg support cushion) are adjusted integrally to present a lying flat state.

[0062] Thus, the operation modes of the medical rehabilitation chair are adjusted quickly by an integral action of the telescopic damping driver 20, thereby facilitating the user manipulating the medical rehabilitation chair.

[0063] 2. Each of the two armrest boards 80 is pivoted horizontally and outward to facilitate the user leaving laterally from the medical rehabilitation chair. When the two armrest boards 80 are closed, the two armrest boards 80 are respectively positioned by the two armrest board positioning devices 90. Thus, the two armrest boards 80 are positioned to prevent the two armrest boards 80 from freely swinging sideward, thereby assuring safety of use of the two armrest boards 80.

[0064] 3. The placement board 81 is expanded upward and perpendicular to each of the two armrest boards 80 so that items or articles are placed on the placement board 81. Alternatively, the placement board 81 is folded downward and parallel with each of the two armrest boards 80 to save the space.

[0065] 4. When one of the two castor positioning devices 100 is treaded, the four castor devices 12 are locked and cannot be rotated. When one of the two castor positioning devices 100 is treaded again, the four castor devices 12 are unlocked and cannot be rotated. Thus, when any one of the two castor positioning devices 100 is treaded, the four castor devices 12 are locked or unlocked synchronously.

[0066] 5. The foot support assembly 70 is pulled outward from the main frame 10 to support the user's feet, thereby providing a comfortable sensation to the user.

[0067] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment(s) as mentioned above, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claim or claims will cover such modifications and variations that fall within the scope of the invention.
