In the wheelchair, the wheelchair can be moved as a walking stick by grasping the grips, and rotating the large wheels and the freely moving wheels in the state where the collapsible chair is collapsed so that the elbow rests approach each other.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a wheelchair which can double as a walking stick. Background technique [0002] Although wheelchairs are used by people with walking disabilities, they are not necessarily limited to those who are unable to walk. They can also be used by people with minor disabilities who are able to walk but are prone to walking fatigue due to their disabilities. People with slight disabilities do not often move in a wheelchair, but occasionally push the wheelchair to move. When used in this state, the existing wheelchair has the disadvantage of not being able to move freely. [0003] The existing wheelchair is manufactured so that a person sits on the chair and is pushed from the back so that it can move freely. To be usable in this state, handles extending backward are fixed to the upper ends of the vertical pillars fixed on both sides of the backrest. So you can grasp the handle and move freely. [0004] The wheelchair with this structure has th...
