Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems of a conventional wheelchair which imposes a burden on the waist of a user to cause poor posture, is unsuited for walking training and, once the user starts to use the wheelchair, tends to deprive walking capacity of a user and causes his/her inconvenience in moving to a bed and a toilet. <P>SOLUTION: This wheelchair reduces the burden on the waist by forming a seat part into a balance chair type, allows the user to have a good posture and facilitates the moving to the bed and the toilet. This constitution allows a user to easily train the walking, greatly expands the user's field of activities and restores the health. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、座席部分をバランスチェア方式とし歩行訓練もできる車椅子に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、高齢者や療養者には通常座席の車椅子や歩行補助車が使用されており、他方で事務用にバランスチェアが考案されていた。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これにはつぎのような欠点があった。
(イ)通常座席の車椅子は体重を主として腰部で支えるため腰の負担が大きく姿勢も悪くなるなどの問題があった。
(ロ)ベッドなどからの移乗が難しく歩行訓練にも適さなかった。
本発明は、これらの欠点を除くためになされたものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、体重を腰と膝で支え姿勢も良くなるバランスチェアの長所を取り入れ、腰部座席を折り畳み式とすることで歩行訓練もできるように考案した車椅子であり、ベッドやトイレからの移乗も車椅子の進行方向と身体の向きが同じなので容易に行うことができる。
【0005】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態について図1〜図5に基づいて説明する。
(イ)図1のようにフレーム1 にバランスチェア方式の座席2(後輪一体型)を取り付ける。
(ロ)前輪3 と駆動輪4 を取り付ける。
(ハ)図2のように腰部座席は前方に折り畳み可能とし、後輪は地面より少し浮かす。
本発明は以上のような構造で、これを使用するときは後部から座席にまたがるように腰をかけ膝を曲げて図4のように着座する。体重を膝と腰の両方で支えるため負担が少なく姿勢もよくなって健康が増進する。またベッド等からの移乗も身体の方向を変える必要がないため容易であり、腰部座席を前方に折り畳むことにより図5のように歩行補助車としても使用できる。また後部に荷重し前輪を浮かす(図2の破線)ことで障害物を容易に乗り越えることができる。
【0006】
【発明の効果】
足腰が弱り始めた高齢者や療養者がこの車椅子を使用することで正しい姿勢を維持し腰の負担が軽減されるとともに、ベッドやトイレへの移動が容易になる。また歩行訓練を実行することで行動範囲が飛躍的に拡大し健康回復が期待できる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a wheelchair in which a seat portion has a balance chair system and can be used for walking training.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the past, wheelchairs and walking aids with ordinary seats have been used for the elderly and recuperators, while balance chairs have been devised for office use.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
This had the following disadvantages.
(A) In a wheelchair with a normal seat, the weight is mainly supported by the waist, so that the burden on the waist is large and the posture is deteriorated.
(B) It was difficult to transfer from a bed, etc., making it unsuitable for walking training.
The present invention has been made to eliminate these disadvantages.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is a wheelchair designed to enable walking training by incorporating the advantages of a balance chair that supports the weight with the waist and knees and improves the posture, and makes the waist seat foldable. Since the direction of movement of the wheelchair is the same as the direction of the body, it can be easily performed.
[0005]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
(A) As shown in FIG. 1, a seat 2 (integrated with rear wheels) of a balance chair type is attached to a frame 1.
(B) Install the front wheel 3 and the drive wheel 4.
(C) As shown in FIG. 2, the lumbar seat can be folded forward, and the rear wheels float slightly above the ground.
The present invention has the above-mentioned structure. When this is used, the user sits down as shown in FIG. Since the weight is supported by both the knee and the waist, the burden is reduced and the posture is improved, improving health. Also, transfer from a bed or the like is easy because it is not necessary to change the direction of the body, and the lumbar seat can be folded forward to be used as a walking assist vehicle as shown in FIG. In addition, an obstacle can be easily overcome by applying a load to the rear part and floating the front wheel (broken line in FIG. 2).
[0006]
【The invention's effect】
By using this wheelchair, elderly people and recuperators whose legs and legs have started to weaken can maintain a correct posture, reduce the burden on the waist, and easily move to a bed or a toilet. In addition, by performing walking training, the range of action is dramatically expanded, and health recovery can be expected.

FIG. 2 is a side view of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a side view in use (seated).
FIG. 5 is a side view at the time of use (walking).
