Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention equips the lower part of the seat chair with a support column for the running wheel part, and rotates two wheels that are not connected to the wheel axle to perform running movement. The rotation of the wheels is achieved by rotating a manually rotatable wheel installed between the running wheel part and the seat chair, and connecting the rotatable wheels with a chain to rotate the lower running wheels for running movement. For direction conversion, a manually rotatable wheel connected to two running wheels with a chain is rotated counterclockwise left and right to set the traveling direction. It is possible to change the direction around two running wheels, and the area required for direction conversion is small. Also, the vehicle body volume can be reduced, and it can be used in places with a narrow passage width. In addition, it can be disassembled and stored, and can be loaded on vehicles such as passenger cars with a small loading space.

Background Art

[0002] Conventional wheelchairs are equipped with large wheels on the sides of the seat and auxiliary wheels to ensure the safety of the vehicle body. Therefore, the vehicle body volume is large and a wide running path is required. Also, due to the distance between the installation positions of the main wheels and the auxiliary wheels, a large area is required for direction conversion. In addition, there are difficulties when loading on vehicles such as passenger cars. Problems to be solved by the invention

[0003] The manual running seat chair of the present invention can run with the width of the cart equipped with auxiliary wheels and the seat chair. Also, since two running wheels are provided, by rotating the seat chair around the running wheels as the center point, the rotation area for direction conversion can be reduced. In addition, the manual running seat chair of the present invention can be disassembled and stored separately into the cart part, the running wheel part, and the seat chair part, and does not require a large storage space for loading on vehicles such as cars. Means for solving the problems

[0004] A space where the running wheels can rotate 360 degrees horizontally is provided in the central part of the cart with auxiliary wheels, and a track facility where the running wheel part and the seat chair can rotate 360 degrees horizontally is constructed on the cart with auxiliary wheels, and a detaching device is provided on the cart so that the running wheel part and the cart can be separated. The seat chair has an assembled structure, and a detaching device is constructed at the lower part of the seat chair and connected to the support column on which the running wheel part is constructed for use. Effects of the invention

[0005] The manual wheelchair of the present invention moves by the rotation of two wheels of a running wheel part having two running wheels in the center of a cart having auxiliary wheels, so that it can move within the width of the cart having auxiliary wheels and does not require a wide movement width or a large area for turning. It can move in places where conventional wheelchairs cannot be used, expanding the activity range. Also, the cart part, running wheel part, and seat part can be disassembled and do not require a large storage space, so it can be loaded on vehicles such as private cars. When in use, it can be assembled and used for riding and moving.
