[0017] Figure 4 It is a top view of the armrest for a weight scale of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the armrest for a weight scale of the present invention comprises: a connecting rod 2, two brackets 1 arranged side by side, and a handrail rod 3. The ends on the same side of the tops of the two brackets 1 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 2 via a rotating shaft 6; a fastener 4 is provided in the middle of the connecting rod 2 for fixing the connecting rod 2 on the column 51 of the vertical weight scale; a socket is provided at a position close to the rotating shaft 6 on the inner side of the top of the two brackets 1 for accommodating and detachably fixing the handrail rod 3. Preferably, the fastener 4 is a bolt or a buckle. Since the two brackets 1 are rotatably connected to the connecting rod 2, when the armrest for a weight scale of the present invention is not in use, the handrail rod 3 can be removed, and the two bracket rods 1 can be folded inwardly together with the connecting rod 2 to save storage space.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the ends of the tops of the two brackets 1 on the same side are provided with a through hole 17 for accommodating the rotating shaft 6, and the ends of the connecting rod 2 are also provided with through holes corresponding to the through holes 17. A vertical insertion hole 12 is provided on the inner side of the top of the two brackets 1 near the rotating shaft 6. The insertion hole 12 is separated from the through hole 17 by a certain distance. When the handrail 3 is inserted into the insertion hole 12, the handrail 3 is separated from the connecting rod 2, and there is a certain amount of room for movement when the patient holds the handrail.
[0021] The bracket 1 includes an upper cross bar 13 and a lower cross bar 16 parallel to each other, and a first vertical bar 14 and a second vertical bar 15 parallel to each other. A through hole 17 for accommodating the rotating shaft 6 is provided at one end of the upper cross bar 13, and an insertion hole 12 is provided on the inner side of the upper cross bar 13 near the through hole 17 for accommodating and fixing the handrail vertical bar 31; the top end of the first vertical bar 14 is provided on the lower side of the upper cross bar 13 at a position aligned with the insertion hole 12, and the top end of the second vertical bar 15 is provided at the other end of the cross bar 13.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the handrail rod 3 is an inverted U-shape, including a handrail crossbar 32 and two handrail vertical rods 31. The handrail vertical rod 31 can be inserted downward into the socket 12 and fixed by a pin. The top view of the handrail crossbar 32 and the upper crossbar 13 of the two brackets 1 is a U-shaped opening, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The base 5 of the vertical scale is located within the U-shaped opening. The height of the handrail 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the downward insertion of the handrail vertical rod 31 to accommodate patients of different heights. The upper crossbar 13 and connecting rod 2 of the bracket 1 also form a U-shape.
[0023] By installing the armrest for a standing scale of the present invention on the standing scale, elderly people with limited mobility or patients with limited mobility can place their hands on the armrest cross bar 31 or the upper cross bar 13 at the top of the two support rods 1 to maintain body balance when getting on or off the chassis 5 of the scale, thereby preventing falls caused by the shaking of the chassis 5; and the armrest bar 3 of the present invention can be adjusted up and down to meet the usage requirements of users of different heights.
