Estimating the term…
A mobility device configurable in a first walk configuration and a second stair-climb configuration, including a frame with movable front leg portions, a leg-actuation system connected to the front leg portions and a safety-control device mounted to the frame. The safety-control device includes a configuration selector, and a lever connected to the leg-actuation system and configured to actuate the cable actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from a first position to a second position. The lever remains locked in a first lever position such that the lever cannot be moved unless the configuration selector is in a depressed position, thereby preventing inadvertent movement of the leg portion.
A mobility device configurable in a first configuration for assisting a user to traverse a flat surface, and configurable in a second configuration for assisting a user to climb stairs, the mobility device comprising:
A safety-control device for a mobility device that includes a pair of movable front legs, the mobility device configurable in a first configuration such that the movable front legs are in a first leg position, and configurable in a second configuration such that the movable front legs are in a second leg position, the safety-control device comprising a configuration selector, a housing, a lever movable between a first lever position and a second lever position, the lever configured to actuate the leg-actuation system so as to cause the first and second movable leg portions to move from the first leg position to the second leg position when the lever is moved from the first lever position to the second lever position;
A mobility device configurable in a first configuration for assisting a user to traverse a flat surface, and configurable in a second configuration for assisting a user to climb stairs, the mobility device comprising:
A mobility device configurable in a first configuration for assisting a user to traverse a flat surface, and configurable in a second configuration for assisting a user to climb stairs, the mobility device comprising:
