Abstract
An apparatus including a walker and a guider attached to the walker. The guider has three sides. The first side of the three sides attaches to a front of the walker. The second side of the three sides attaches to a first side of the walker. The third side of the three sides attaches to a second side of the walker.
Claims18
An apparatus, comprising:
- a guider attached to a walker,
- wherein, the guider has three sides,
- wherein:
- the three sides include a first side, a second side, and a third side,
- wherein:
- the first side is attached to the second side and the first side attached to the third side, and the first side:
- faces the front of the walker without any portion of the first side touching the walker,
- does not attach to any intermediate device that attaches to two front legs of the walker, and
- does not attach to any other intermediate device that attaches to a front bar of the walker,
- the second side is attached to a first side bar of the walker,
- wherein the second side has a curved top section that wraps around the first side bar of the walker;
- the third side is attached to a second side bar of the walker,
- wherein the third side has another curved top section that wraps around the second side bar of the walker,
- wherein the second side includes a first layer and a second layer,
- wherein the first layer has a first slot that extends in a vertical length, and the second layer has a second slot that also extends in a vertical length, and
- wherein the first layer is attached to the second layer via one or more connectors that connect the first layer and the second layer via the first and the second slots and that enable the first layer or the second layer to move;
- wherein the third side includes a third layer and a fourth layer;
- wherein the third layer has a third slot that extends in a vertical length that is perpendicular to the second side bar, and the fourth layer has a fourth slot that also extends in a vertical length that is perpendicular to the second side bar, and
- wherein the third layer is attached to the fourth layer via one or more other connectors passing through the third slot and the fourth slot that connect the third layer to the fourth layer.
16 more elements
A method, comprising:
- pushing a walker system in a first direction,
- wherein the walker system includes a walker and a guider,
- wherein the guider has a first side, a second side, and a third side,
- wherein:
- the first side of the guider:
- faces the front of the walker without any portion of the first side touching the walker,
- does not attach to any intermediate device that attaches to two front legs of the walker
- does not attach to any other intermediate device that attaches to a front bar of the walker, and
- is located behind the two front legs of the walker,
- the second side of the guider is attached to a first side bar of the walker,
- wherein the second side has a curved top section that wraps around the first side bar of the walker;
- the third side of the guider is attached to a second side bar of the walker,
- wherein the third side has another curved top section that wraps around the second side bar of the walker,
- wherein the second side includes a first layer and a second layer,
- wherein the first layer has a first slot that extends in a vertical length, and
- the second layer has a second slot that also extends in a vertical length, and
- wherein the first layer is attached to the second layer via one or more connectors passing through the first slot and the second slot that enable the first layer or the second layer to move;
- wherein the third side includes a third layer and a fourth layer,
- wherein the third layer has a third slot that extends in a vertical length that is perpendicular to the first side bar, and
- wherein the third layer is attached to the fourth layer via one or more additional connectors passing through the third slot;
- and
- wherein, when the walker system is pushed in the first direction:
- the first side prevents a person's feet, of the person using the walker, from moving in a direction that is different than the first direction,
- the second side keeps the person's feet to move within a perimeter of the walker, and
- the third side keeps the person's feet to stay within the perimeter of the walker;
- and
- pushing the walker system in a second direction,
- wherein, when the walker system is pushed in the second direction:
- the first side prevents a person's feet, of the person using the walker system, from moving in a direction that is different than the second direction.
