DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is directed to the elderly or elderly who are increasing as the population ages, and to homes or hospitals for people with weak feet and those who cannot walk on their own feet. It is a device for walking in a nursing home, or going out on its own, but it can be changed to a wheelchair to help when walking becomes difficult, and a handle for nursing care is also provided, for self-management The present invention relates to a foldable walking device having a odometer and a sphygmomanometer.

[Prior Art] Currently, there is a wheelbarrow as a walking tool that can be seen, and it is possible to sit on a chair if tired. There was no one sitting on a chair other than the chair-type walking equipment that I devised.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As Japan's aging society progresses, a long-term care insurance system is being discussed, but it is clear that there will be a shortage of caregivers even if insurance is established. In order to maintain their health, they have to do as much as possible on their own, and the current nursing care equipment alone is not enough, and there is no equipment for people with weak legs to walk on their own.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been devised so that an elderly with weak feet can walk while sitting on a chair in order to minimize the burden on the feet. It also has a wheelchair function and is a folding walking device equipped with a odometer and a sphygmomanometer for health management.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a plan view, a side view, and an elevation view of a folding walking device showing an embodiment of the present invention.

[Embodiment] The folding walking device of the present invention is supported by two rear wheels of 60 cm and two front wheels of 15 cm to support a seating chair. As a measure for enhancing safety, a front wheel is provided. The two can be widened by opening to the outside, the chair can be moved up and down with a cylinder, it can be a walking device and a wheelchair, and it can be folded by removing the back. It also has a odometer and a sphygmomanometer to assist in health management, and when folded, the chair splits into two from the middle.

[0007] Only the pillars (cylinders) in Fig. 1 are made of iron, but the other bones are made of aluminum, stainless steel, or FRP other than iron. Etc. are used, and cloth or leather is used for the surface cover. In addition, a portion that becomes a tire uses FRP or rubber, and there are two types of rubber, one with air and the other with only rubber without air.

[0008] By raising and lowering the cylinder, the upper chair portion operates integrally, the back is removed, the center of the backrest mounting rod is raised, the seat chair is folded in two, the seat chair is separated from the center and folded upward. The folding can be performed by operating the seat-chair folding mechanism. When folding, lift the platform. The rear wheels of the folding walking device are fixed, can be rotated separately from each other, and the front wheels are freely adjustable.

Although the invention made by the present invention has been specifically described based on the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be variously modified without departing from the gist thereof. Needless to say.

[Effects of the Invention] The effects obtained by typical aspects of the invention disclosed in the present invention will be briefly described as follows. That is, according to the present invention, for those who have difficulty walking on their own due to weak feet,
