Knee walker

摘要

Knee walker assemblies and methods of manufacturing a knee walker assembly are provided herein. One concept of the present disclosure is directed to a knee walker assembly that includes a frame, a support platform and a handle mounted to the frame, at least one rear wheel mounted proximate the rear end of the frame, and at least two front wheels swivel mounted proximate the front end of the frame. A locking mechanism is operatively engaged with the at least two front wheels. The locking mechanism is configured to substantially simultaneously lock both of the at least two front wheels in a rigid-type mounting configuration.

主权项

1. A knee walker assembly comprising:
a frame with opposing front and rear ends; a support platform mounted to the frame; a handle mounted to the frame; a rear wheel mounted to the frame proximate the rear end thereof; a front wheel swivel mounted to the frame proximate the front end thereof such that the front wheel is operable to revolve around a rolling axis and rotate about a non-rolling axis; a locking disc mounted for common rotation with the front wheel about the non-rolling axis; and a retractable locking pin assembly mounted to the frame, the retractable locking pin assembly being configured to selectively engage the locking disc to thereby lock the front wheel such that the front wheel is restricted from rotating about the non-rolling axis without being restricted from revolving around the rolling axis.
