A rollator designed to provide low-radius rotational mobility while a user is engaged in motion with a foldable and height adjustable frame allowing a user to have a natural full gait. The foldable frame has an angled upright U-shaped main frame section and a base U-shaped frame section mounted to the angled upright U-shaped frame and a U-shaped intermediate frame section mounted to the angled U-shaped upright frame section and the base U-shaped frame section. A moveable seat assembly is slideably mounted to the U-shaped support assembly to assume desire positions. A pair of rear wheels are mounted to the frame and a pair of front wheels are mounted to yoke mechanisms which are mounted on the frame. A brake assembly including brake levers are mounted to the frame, the brake assembly being operatively connected to the pair of rear wheels to brake the rear wheels with each of the brake levers being adapted to transfer braking force from the user hand grip lever to the rear wheels.
A rollator designed to maintain stable and erect body posture of a user and allow a full gait of the user, comprising a foldable height adjustable frame assembly constructed with a U-shaped upright frame section, a U-shaped base frame section mounted to said upright frame section, an intermediate frame section mounted to said upright frame section and said base frame section, said lower base frame section being provided with folding means allowing it to be folded toward said upright frame section, a plurality of rear wheels mounted to said frame assembly, a plurality of pivotable front wheels mounted to said frame assembly, a brake assembly connected to said upright section and operatively connected to said rear wheels for braking said rear wheels and a pivotable seat assembly mounted to said frame assembly for retraction of said seat assembly forward along said intermediate frame section opening up an sided frame area for the user to stand upright and walk.
A rollator designed to provide low-radius rotational mobility while a user is engaged in motion, comprising a foldable frame assembly allowing a user to have a natural full gait, said foldable frame assembly comprising an angled upright frame section, a U-shaped base frame section having a plurality of legs connected to said angled upright frame section and an intermediate frame section mounted to said angled upright frame section and said base frame section, a retractable seat assembly is mounted to said intermediate support assembly, a pair of rear wheels are mounted to said frame assembly, a pair of pivotal yoke mechanisms are mounted to front of said frame assembly, front wheel mounted in each said yoke mechanism, a brake assembly is mounted to said frame assembly and is operatively connected to said pair of rear wheels to provide equal braking force to each of said rear wheels, a handle assembly mounted to said angled upright frame section, said handle assembly including a handle bar and a hand grip lever, each of said brake levers being adapted to transfer force from said user to a force transfer mechanism to evenly transmit force to brake said rear wheels.
A rollator designed to provide low-radius rotational mobility while a user is engaged in motion, comprising a foldable frame allowing a user to have a natural full gait, said foldable frame comprising an angled upright height adjustable U-shaped main frame section, a base U-shaped frame section mounted to said angled upright U-shaped frame and a U-shaped intermediate frame section mounted to said angled U-shaped upright frame section and said U-shaped base frame section, a seat assembly moveably mounted to said U-shaped support assembly, a pair of rear wheels mounted on axles which are mounted to said frame and a pair of pivotal yoke assemblies mounted to said frame, front wheels rotatably mounted to said yoke assemblies, a brake assembly mounted to said frame, said brake assembly being connected to said pair of rear wheels to brake said rear wheels, said brake support assembly including a handle bar assembly mounted to said angled upright main frame section, a hand grip lever mounted on said handle bar assembly, and at least one transverse brake bar mounted on said handle bar assembly, each of said brake levers and brake bars being adapted to transfer force from said user to evenly brake said rear wheels.
