Foldable walker apparatus

The apparatus as claimed in claim 44, wherein each connection bracket has a first connector fastened to a respective one of the support members at a location spaced-apart from the distal end of said respective one of the support members and has a second connector fastened to a respective one of the rods.

20-24. (canceled)

The walker as claimed in claim 44, wherein the elongate rods function in part as pivot rods and wherein the walker further includes a folding mechanism for laterally folding the walker, the folding mechanism extending between and pivotally connecting to respective ones of the elongate rods.

The walker as claimed in claim 44, further including a folding mechanism for laterally folding the walker, the folding mechanism extending between and pivotally connecting to respective ones of the elongate rods.

The walker as claimed in claim 4, wherein the walker is laterally foldable, and wherein the basket includes a flexible basket member extending about, extending between and being supported by the end members, the end members being moveable towards each other and the basket member thereby folding to collapse the basket when folding the walker.

The walker as claimed in claim 44, wherein the walker is laterally foldable and wherein each end member has a rigid peripheral portion, and wherein the basket further includes a flexible basket member extending substantially about, extending between and being supported by the rigid peripheral portions of the end members, the end members being moveable towards each other and the basket member thereby folding to collapse the basket when folding the walker.

The walker as claimed in claim 44, wherein the seat includes a first part and a second part pivotally connecting to the first part, each of the parts of the seat connecting to a respective one of the apexes of the support members.

The walker as claimed in claim 44, wherein the support members are upwardly convex and continuously curved and wherein the curvature of the support members forward of the seat is equal to the curvature of the support members rearward of the seat, the support members thereby supporting the seat.

The walker as claimed in claim 44 wherein each of the connection brackets is shaped through a grooved housing, and wherein the walker further includes grooved projections shaped to be received by the grooved housings, the brackets connecting to a first one of the end members and the support members, and the projections connecting to a second one of the end members and the support members.

The walker as claimed in claim 44, further including a pair of extended projections shaped to be received by respective ones of the connection brackets, each connection bracket connecting to a first one of a respective one of the end members and a respective one of the support members, and each projection connecting to a second one of a respective one of the end members and a respective one of the support members.

The walker as claimed in claim 44, further including a folding mechanism extending between the support members, the folding mechanism being positioned between the proximal and distal ends of the support members.

The walker as claimed in claim 44, the connection brackets enabling the basket to be slidably securable with and removable from the walker.

The walker as claimed in claim 44 wherein the connection brackets extend in a substantially radial direction relative to the support members.

The walker as claimed in claim in claim 44, wherein the connection brackets are angled relative to the rods.
