Walking aid combined with hidden movable table

This invention is related to the field of medical assistive devices, especially a walking aid device with a hidden movable table that has both walking aid and bed table functions, to effectively solve the problem of multiple items occupying too much space.

Walkers and bedside tables are common assistive devices used in medical institutions or home environments to assist people with limited mobility. They are very convenient assistive products. Walkers can be used to help users walk and move. They come in many styles and can achieve different assistive functions, such as crutches, walkers or wheelchairs. Walkers have many advantages in providing user support and mobility independence, but they also have some disadvantages. For example, some walkers may be larger and heavier, so they require more extra space when stored and are not very convenient to carry or transport.

A bedside table is a kind of table that can be attached to the bed, providing a platform for users to eat, read or perform various applications. Although bedside tables have many advantages in providing convenience and comfort to users, they also have some disadvantages in storage. For example, bedside tables usually require a certain amount of space to store, and because bedside tables are usually large and heavy, they also require some specific storage locations when stored, and they also need to be moved manually or with the help of other auxiliary tools, which may cause a certain burden or inconvenience to medical staff or users themselves. In addition, bedside tables are usually designed to be compatible with specific types of beds, so they may not be able to adapt to other types of beds, which limits the use of bedside tables.

Therefore, when a user needs to use both of the above-mentioned assistive devices, the storage space requirement will be a difficulty that needs to be overcome urgently. For example, when a walking aid and a bed table are placed in the room at the same time, it may lead to insufficient space, making the room appear crowded and difficult to move. In addition, in practice, it is common that the user's residence or ward space does not have enough space to place the two items at the same time without interference.

Please refer to Figures 1 to 5, which are schematic diagrams of the structure of the walking aid device of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, schematic diagrams of the application state of the walking aid device when providing walking aid function, schematic diagrams of the application state of the walking aid device to be adjusted to the state of the bed table for use, schematic diagrams of the application state of the walking aid device when used as a bed table, and schematic diagrams of the folded storage state of the walking aid device. The present invention proposes a walking aid device 1 combined with a hidden movable table, comprising two first sets 10, two second sets 11, two support frames 12, a grip frame 13, a flexible table 14, and two movable arms 15.

The first sets 10 respectively have a fixed portion 101 and a rotating portion 102, the rotating portion 102 is pivoted to one side of the fixed portion 101, and the fixed portion 101 has a through hole 1011, the rotating portion 102 has a first slot 1021, wherein the rotating portion 102 can be fixed after being rotated relative to the fixed portion 101 in a step-difference or stepless manner. The second sets 11 respectively have a housing 111 and a rotating member 112, and the rotating member 112 is pivoted in the housing 111, wherein one end of the housing 111 is provided with a second slot 1111, the rotating member 112 has a third slot 1121, and the second slot 1111 and the third slot 1121 are arranged opposite to each other. The supporting frames 12 pass through the through hole 1011 of the fixing part 101 and are inserted and fixed at one end in the second slot 1111 of the casing 111, and the other end is respectively provided with a clamping hole 121. The grip frame 13 has two extension arms 131 of equal length and a holding arm 132 fixedly connected to one end of the extension arms 131. One end of the extension arms 131 is respectively inserted in the third slot 1121 so that the grip frame 13 can be rotated, and the other end is vertically connected to the holding arm 132. The two extension arms 131 are parallel to each other, and the extension arms 131 and the holding arm 132 are located in the same horizontal plane, so that the grip frame 13 presents a U-shaped appearance. Among them, the holding arm 132 is a hollow structure and is provided with a slot 1321. The flexible table top 14 is rolled up in the holding arm 132 of the hollow structure, and one side of the flexible table top 14 has a hand pull 141 and two plug rods 142 exposed in the slot 1321 of the holding arm 132, and the other side is fixed to the inside of the holding arm 132. The flexible table top 14 extends to the position of the clamping hole 121 of the supporting frame 12 after the hand pull 141 is pulled by external force, and the plug rods 142 are respectively inserted into the clamping hole 121 to maintain the unfolded state of the flexible table top 14. Preferably, a rebound mechanism can be set in the holding arm 132 to make the flexible table top 14 automatically roll back into the holding arm 132, and of course, it can also be implemented by manual rolling. The insertion rods 142 may also use a telescopic rod structure, which is more conducive to pulling out the flexible table top 14. The movable arms 15 are respectively inserted into the first slots 1021 of the pair of rotating parts 102.

Thus, through the structural and assembly features of the above-mentioned components, when used as a walking aid, the movable arms 15 and one side of the support frames 12 can be used as fulcrums against the ground, and the grip frame 13 can be held by the user to walk. When used as a bed table, the clamping state of the movable arms 15 and the support frames 12 can be adjusted, and then the support frames 12 can be placed against the bed and the flexible table 14 can be pulled out through the hand pull 141, so that the insertion rods 142 can be inserted into the clamping holes 121 and then fixed as a table. In this way, the walking aid 1 can provide users with the functions of both a walking aid and a bed table, so that users with such needs no longer need to prepare multiple assistive devices, effectively solving the inconvenience of insufficient storage space for assistive devices in the past.
