Abstract
An ergonomically enhanced wheeled mobility walker with a laterally attached platform including a cup holder as well as a tabletop releasably attached to a leg of the walker and which can be transitioned from a vertical resting position anterior to the walker to a horizontal working position lateral to the walker preferably engaging or proximal to the platform.
Claims3
A wheeled mobility walker to assist ambulation, comprising:
- a first and second side lateral support element joined to one another by an at least one transversing element in a substantially planarly parallel opposing relation;
- each lateral support element defining an upper support element connecting a front and back leg;
- each front leg defining a lower leg terminus section attached by connecting means to a wheel assembly, wherein the improvement comprises;
- a platform laterally joined to the first lateral support element wherein the tabletop defines a cup recess appropriate to assist retainment of a drinking cup and further defines a pouch recess appropriate to assist retainment of a sized stiff collar integral with a pouch-like element for holding personal items and further defines a device recess appropriate to assist retainment of electronic devices;
- and
- a tabletop defining a recess appropriate to assist retainment of a dining plate and joined to the front leg of the first side frame via a locking mechanism with an arm extending to a tip at least partially defining an articulable joint for adjusting the tabletop orientation and position wherein the tabletop is transitionable from a resting position substantially vertically orientated anterior to the transversing element to a working position substantially horizontally orientated lateral to the first lateral support element wherein the tabletop rests upon the platform while in the working position;
- and
- a spring clip joined substantially anteriorly to the platform appropriate to assist retainment of a personal aid.
