Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact and sufficiently-high walking aid vehicle on Road Traffic Act, enabling walking without bending a waist, and not requiring a large space for storage.SOLUTION: In a walking aid vehicle, the whole vehicle body is constituted in an X-shaped type as a method for expanding a vehicle width, and such a structure is adopted that the X-shape can be deformed into a longitudinally long shape or a laterally long shape by fulcruming an intersection point between X-shaped two line segments to thereby rotate the segments, and the vehicle width can be reduced by one touch operation to thereby dispense with a large space for storage. Easy walking is possible without bending a waist by keeping the height of handles. As advantages, reduction of damage of a traffic accident, prevention of rolling walking, safe feeling of another passenger, installation of an umbrella or a parasol thereon, or the like can be enumerated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

Description

本発明は、道路交通法上の歩行補助車に関するものである。    The present invention relates to a walking auxiliary vehicle according to the Road Traffic Law.

市販されている歩行補助車は、荷物箱にキャスターとハンドルを付けたようなもので、箱は椅子としても使える便利でコンパクトなものである。    Commercially available walking aids are like luggage boxes with casters and handles, and the boxes are convenient and compact that can be used as chairs.

市販の歩行補助車は、コンパクトで収容に場所を取らないが、高さが不足する。転倒防止のため、車幅が狭いと必然的に高さの制限を受けるからである。ハンドルが低いと中腰歩行になるが、これは想像以上に苦痛である。さらに、箱車を腰を屈めて押す姿は貧相でもある。このようなことから、その便利さを知りながら利用を控える人も多いのではないだろうか。
一方、車幅を広くすると収容場所の制限を受ける。例えば、自転車での買物に不安を覚えたアパート住まいのひとが、場所を取る歩行補助車を駐輪場に置くのは少し気がひける。
安全を害することなくハンドルの高さを保ち、かつ収容に場所を取らない歩行補助車が求められる。Commercial walking aids are compact and take up little space for storage, but they are not high enough. This is because the height is inevitably limited when the vehicle width is narrow to prevent the vehicle from toppling over. If the handle is low, you will be walking in the middle and lower back, which is more painful than you think. In addition, the figure that pushes the cart with his waist bent is also poor. Because of this, many people may refrain from using it while knowing its convenience.
On the other hand, if the width of the vehicle is widened, there will be restrictions on the accommodation location. For example, an apartment dweller who is worried about shopping on a bicycle is a little uncomfortable with placing a walking auxiliary vehicle on the bicycle parking lot.
There is a need for a walking assistance vehicle that maintains the height of the handle without sacrificing safety and does not take up space for accommodation.

車幅を広くする方法として、車軸を引っ張り伸ばしたり屈伸させたりすることが考えられるが、これらをワンタッチの操作でするには相当複雑な構造になりそうで、採用できない。そこで、車体全体をＸ字型に構成し、Ｘ字の２線分の交点を支点として線分を回転させ、縦長や横長のＸ字に変形する構造とする。車体後部を引っ張り広げる一動作で解決する。    As a method for widening the vehicle width, it is conceivable to stretch or bend the axle, but if these are operated by one-touch operation, the structure seems to be quite complicated and cannot be adopted. Therefore, the entire vehicle body is configured in an X shape, and the line segment is rotated with the intersection of the two X line segments as a fulcrum, and is deformed into a vertically or horizontally X shape. The problem is solved with a single movement that pulls the rear of the vehicle.

腰を曲げないで歩けるので楽で、見た目にも良い。さらに、図３のように歩行者を包む構成にしておけば次のような利点がある。▲１▼交通事故の被害の軽減、▲２▼横振れ歩行の防止、▲３▼他の通行者の安心感、▲４▼雨傘日傘の設置、▲５▼その他設備しだいで冬のスポーツ観戦。着替えや用便まで。    It is easy to walk without bending your waist, and it looks good. Furthermore, if it is set as the structure which wraps a pedestrian like FIG. 3, there exist the following advantages. (1) Mitigation of traffic accident damage, (2) Prevention of sideways walking, (3) Safety of other passers-by, (4) Installation of parasol parasols, (5) Winter sports watching depending on other equipment. Until changing clothes and service.

及びas well as

図３のように歩行者を包む形態が良い。収容時に長さ１１０センチメートル、幅５５センチメートルのものが、幅１００センチメートルまで連続的に変えられる。    The form which wraps a pedestrian like FIG. 3 is good. When accommodated, a length of 110 centimeters and a width of 55 centimeters can be continuously changed to a width of 100 centimeters.

技術的には、町工場で十分可能。需要の点では、特に高齢男子の新参入が予想される。    Technically, it is possible at a town factory. In terms of demand, new men are expected to enter the market.

Claims (1)

道路交通法上の歩行補助車であって、図２のように、平面図上で仮想される２本の交差線分の４端に車輪を有し、線分の交点に当たる場所は回転可能な形態で固定して２線分のなす角度を調節し、以て図１のように車幅（左右の車輪の間隔をいう。以下同じ。）を狭くして収容できる歩行補助車。    It is a walking auxiliary vehicle under the Road Traffic Law, and as shown in FIG. 2, it has wheels at the four ends of two intersecting lines that are virtually imagined on the plan view, and the place corresponding to the intersection of the lines can be rotated. A walking auxiliary vehicle that can be accommodated with a vehicle width (referred to as the distance between the left and right wheels; the same applies hereinafter) as shown in FIG.
