WALKING FRAME AND FOOT THEREFOR

摘要

A foot (200) for attachment to a leg (180) of a trolley frame (100) designed to assist a user of reduced mobility move about a (floor120). The foot (200) has a first state in which the foot presents a contact surface (224) having a frictional resistance that facilitates slidable contact between the foot (200) and the floor (120) when attached to the leg (18)0 and when in use, and a second state in which the foot presents an enhanced contact surface (252) having an increased frictional resistance between the foot and the floor to resist said slidable contact. The foot (200) is transferrable between the first and the second states in dependence on a downwardly directed force (190) being exerted by the user on the foot through the leg of the trolley frame to allow the trolley frame (100) to be slid or to resist sliding depending upon the state of the foot.
