Adjustable walker with sitting assembly

摘要

A walker having four substantially straight elongate members each having upper and lower ends and a spacer assembly for keeping two elongate members at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other. The other two elongate members are each mounted to a handle member defining two spaced apart U-shaped assemblies. A removable seat assembly adjustably positioned at predetermined heights so that a user can walk while seated to relieve his body from the weight stress. Optionally, a reinforcement base assembly is used to provide greater structural support for the walker. The walker can include arm rests and an adjustable frame to cooperate with users of different dimensions. The walker can also be collapsed for storage or transportation purposes using hingedly mounted elongate members and a pivoting U-shape base assembly.

主权项

1. A walker comprising:
A) a structural frame having first, second, third and fourth elongate members each having an upper end and a lower end, said frame further includes a first handle member connecting the first ends of said first and second elongate members and a second handle member connecting the first ends of said third and fourth elongate members, defining first and second U-shape assemblies, respectively, said frame further including spacer assembly mounted to said first and second U-shape assemblies keeping the latter at a spaced apart relationship with respect to each other and defining an unobstructed inner space between said first and second U-shape assemblies; B) a seat assembly and cooperatively mounted to said spacer assembly having an ergonomically designed seat member positioned within said inner space at a predetermined distance from a substantially horizontal surface a user to sit on said seat member while walking over said surface thereby relieving, partially or totally his or her weight load; C) four wheel assemblies, each mounted to each of said lower ends allowing said walker to move on said surface; and D) said frame includes a height adjustment assembly for keeping said seat assembly at a selectively predetermined distance from said surfaces.
