Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen leichten Stuhl, insbeson dere Rollstuhl, der sich in ein flaches, handliches Gebilde auf einfachste Art zusammenklappen und wieder entklappen lässt.The present invention relates to a light chair, in particular the wheelchair, which is the simplest in a flat, handy structure Art collapses and unfolds again.
Die am Markt bekannten Rollstühle sind aus mannigfachen Gründen schwer, unhandlich und wegen ihrer notwendigen Räder und Hand schwingräder nur teilweise in ihren Dimensionen für einen notwendigen Transport - z. B. in Personenwagen - reduzierbar.The wheelchairs known on the market are for a variety of reasons heavy, bulky and because of their necessary wheels and hand swing wheels only partially in their dimensions for a necessary Transport - e.g. B. in passenger cars - reducible.
Es besteht dabei meist nur die Möglichkeit, das Gefährt zu verkleinern, indem man die beiden Seitenteile mit Rädern und den Armlehnenteilen mittels der flexiblen Sitz- und Rücklehnenteile aufeinander zubewegt. Der Stuhl wird dadurch in der Vertikalen um nur auf etwa Zweidrittel flacher.There is usually only the possibility to make the vehicle smaller, by the two side parts with wheels and the armrest parts moved towards each other by means of the flexible seat and backrest parts. The As a result, the chair becomes flatter by only about two thirds.
Der rollfähige Stuhl der Erfindung ist in erster Linie für ältere und weniger mobile Menschen, sowie für solche, die vorübergehend gehbehindert oder entkräftet sind, gedacht.

Not for people who constantly roll need chair.
Auch aus diesem Grunde ist es von grosser Wichtigkeit, den rollbaren Stuhl so leicht, so funktionell einfach und so wirtschaftlich wie möglich zu konstruieren und herzustellen. For this reason, too, it is very important that the rollable Chair as light, as functionally simple and as economical as possible design and manufacture.
Die Aufgabe wird durch einen zusammenklappbaren und wieder entklapp baren Stuhl nach Anspruch 1 gelöst, wobei vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen sind.The task is collapsible and unfolded again baren chair solved according to claim 1, wherein advantageous embodiments can be found in the subclaims.
Durch die vorliegende Erfindung wird ein leichter Rollstuhl, der aus schliesslich von einer Hilfsperson bewegt werden kann, verwirklicht, der durch einige wenige, einfache Handgriffe in seinem Volumen auf etwa ein Fünftel seiner Gebrauchsgröße reduziert werden kann, ohne daß irgend welche Teile entnommen werden müssen oder sonstige Vorkehrungen getroffen werden müssen. Dies ermöglicht den Hilfspersonen - einschliess lich den weiblichen - das Gefährt bei Nichtgebrauch ohne Mühen im Haus zu deponieren oder im Auto raumsparend zu verstauen.The present invention turns a lightweight wheelchair out of can finally be moved by an auxiliary person who realizes in a few simple steps in its volume to about one Fifth of its size can be reduced without any which parts must be removed or other precautions must be taken. This enables the helpers - including Lich the female - the vehicle when not in use without effort in the house to deposit or stow away in the car to save space.
Die Hauptkonstruktionselemente des Stuhls sind dabei einzeln in sich starr. Weiterhin bilden alle Hauptkonstruktionselemente, wenn sie die be nutzbare Stuhlform angenommen haben, ein starres, stabiles Konstruk tionsgesamtgebilde. Durch die Arretierung der Teile untereinander wird die Endstabilität des entfalteten Stuhls erreicht. Weiterhin drehen sich die Hauptkonstruktionsteile beim Zusammenklappen auch teilweise um Schar nier- oder Drehelemente, die jeweils in anderen Hauptkonstruktionsele menten integriert sind.The main construction elements of the chair are individually in themselves rigid. Furthermore, all main construction elements form when they be usable chair shape have adopted a rigid, stable construction overall structure. By locking the parts together, the Final stability of the unfolded chair reached. Furthermore, the Main construction parts also partially around the share when folded kidney or rotating elements, each in a different main construction elements are integrated.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend ohne Beschränkung des allgemeinen Er findungsgedankens anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnungen exemplarisch beschrieben, auf die im übrigen hin sichtlich der Offenbarung aller im Text nicht näher erläuterten erfindungs gemäßen Einzelheiten ausdrücklich verwiesen wird. The invention is hereinafter without limitation of the general Er inventive idea based on exemplary embodiments with reference exemplarily described on the drawings, to the rest obviously the disclosure of all fiction not explained in detail in the text is explicitly referred to in accordance with the details.
Die Fig. 1-5 zeigen die Abwicklungsfolge des Zusammenklappen des Stuhls. Figs. 1-5 show the processing result of the folding of the chair.
