Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、障害者、高齢者のための車椅子用の折り畳み式天蓋に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の車椅子には、雨避けあるいは日除けのための安価な天蓋がなく、使用者は強い日差しや雨を防ぐために、帽子か傘あるいは合羽などを用いることが多く、不便かつ危険であった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
天蓋を使用しない時は、取り外した天蓋を最もコンパクトに折り畳むことができ、天蓋を使用する時には、天蓋が広がった状態で車椅子に固定することができること、ならびに多様な寸法を持つ車椅子に対して、天蓋を安価に提供できることが課題であった。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
車椅子の左右のフレームに、取り付け金具で着脱できるように保持された左右一対の支柱を設け、それぞれの支柱の上端部に天蓋フレームを枢着し、左右の支柱の上部の対応する位置と、左右の支柱の下部に設けた褶動部材との間を、中央で互いに連結したXリンクで連結し、支柱下部の褶動部材と天蓋フレームの間を支持棒で連結し、天蓋フレームの前部に、死点を超えてロックできる折れリンクを設けて左右の天蓋フレームを連結する。
【0005】
Xリンクおよび折れリンクを広げると、左右の支柱は平行状態のまま拡がり、連動して天蓋フレームが支柱に対してほぼ直角に回転して拡がる。この状態で折れリンクをロックし、車椅子の取り付け金具に支柱を取り付け、防水布を天蓋フレームにかぶせ、防水布の左右下端を車椅子の取り付け金具に固定することによって、天蓋が風などで外れることなく、車椅子に安定して固定される。
【0006】
天蓋を使用しない時には、取り付け金具から支柱および防水布を取り外し、折れリンクおよびXリンクを折り畳むことによって、天蓋フレームが連動して支柱と平行になるように折り畳まれ、天蓋全体をコンパクトに折り畳むことができる。
【0007】
【実施例】
以下、本発明の具体的な実施例について、図面に沿って詳述する。
図1は、本発明の天蓋の使用状態における斜視図である。
図2は、本発明の天蓋の折り畳み状態における斜視図である。
【0008】
車椅子1の、背当てフレーム2には取付け金具3が取り付けられ、これに支持金具4が組み付けられる。この支持金具4の両端に設けられた支柱受け部5に、天蓋の左右の支柱6が差し込まれて固定される。支柱受け部5には、支柱6のストッパーを兼ねた、防水布7の下端部8を固定するためのフック9が設けられる。また、支持金具4には、車椅子のフレームに合わせて取り付け幅を調整できるように、長穴を設けることができる。
【0009】
左右の支柱6の上部には、左右の天蓋フレーム10の後端部のブラケット11を枢着するブラケット12および、中央で互いに連結したXリンク13の上部を枢着するブラケット14を設け、左右の天蓋フレーム10の前部に、死点を超えてロックできる折れリンク15を枢着するブラケット16を設ける。また、左右の天蓋フレーム10の中間部には、天蓋を支持する支持棒17の上部を枢着するブラケット18が設けられる。
【0010】
左右の支柱6の下部には、上下に褶動する褶動部材19がはめ込まれ、この褶動部材19にXリンク13の下部を枢着するブラケット20および、天蓋を支持する支持棒17の下部を枢着するブラケット21が設けられる。
【0011】
左右の支柱6のブラケット12に、天蓋フレーム10のブラケット11を枢着し、左右の支柱6のブラケット14と、褶動部材19との間を、Xリンク13で連結し、褶動部材19のブラケット21と天蓋フレーム10のブラケット18の間を支持棒17で連結し、折れリンク15で左右の天蓋フレーム10のブラケット16同士を連結する。
【0012】
防水布7は両側前端部を袋状にして、天蓋フレーム10の前端部に引っ掛けて天蓋フレーム10を覆うようにしてかぶせ、防水布全体に適当な張力を持たせるとともに、下端部8を支柱受け部5に設けたフック9に固定する。防水布7はまた、折り畳んだ時に天蓋フレーム10から外れないように、要所を紐などで天蓋フレーム10に縛ることができる。
【0013】
【発明の効果】
上記のように構成することにより、脱着が簡単で、取り外して折り畳む時は1本の棒状にコンパクトに折り畳むことができ、しかもほとんどの車椅子に適合して取り付けることができる、雨避けあるいは日除けの機能を備えた、簡単な構造で安全、快適な天蓋付き車椅子を安価に提供することができる。
また必要に応じて、防水布に透明のフイルムを併用すれば、かなりの風雨に際しても車椅子を十分使用できる効果がある。
