Abstract
A mobility device includes at least a first front leg and at least a first rear leg connected to the first front leg. The first rear leg includes an upper member having a first end a second end and a lower member having a first end and a second end. The first end of the upper member is pivotally connected to the first end of the lower member, and the lower member is preferably pivotal between an extended use position and a folded storage position.
Claims10
A walker assembly structured to facilitate an individual's mobility, said walker assembly comprising:
- a frame having an operative orientation and a stored orientation, said stored orientation at least partially defined by said frame having a compact configuration of substantially reduced dimension;
- said frame including a front leg assembly and a rear leg assembly movably interconnected and disposable relative to one another between said operative and stored orientations;
- at least one wheel assembly comprising a pair of wheels connected to said frame,
- at least one of said front and rear leg assemblies having two legs each structured to have a variable length when disposed between said operative and stored orientations,
- each of said two legs including an upper portion and a lower portion disposable into a coaxially aligned relation when in said operative orientation and into a non-coaxially aligned relation when in said stored orientation, said stored orientation comprising each of said lower portions folded laterally inward toward one another to at least partially define a reduced longitudinal dimension of each of said two legs and said frame, and
- said lower portion of each of said legs operatively coupled to a different one of said pair of wheels.
A walker assembly structured to facilitate an individual's mobility, said walker assembly comprising:
- a frame having an operative orientation and a stored orientation;
- said frame including a front leg assembly and a rear leg assembly movably interconnected and disposable relative to one another between said operative and stored orientations;
- at least one wheel assembly correspondingly connected to at least one of said front and rear leg assemblies,
- at least one of said front or rear leg assemblies having two legs, each structured to have a variable length when disposed between said operative and stored orientations,
- said stored orientation at least partially defined by said frame having a compact configuration of substantially reduced transverse and longitudinal dimensions,
- each of said two legs including an upper portion and a lower portion disposable into a coaxially aligned relation when in said operative orientation and into a folded storage position when in said stored orientation, said folded storage position at least partially defining a reduced longitudinal dimension of each of said two legs and said reduced longitudinal dimension of said frame, and
- said folded storage position at least partially defined by each of said lower portions being disposed out of said coaxially aligned relation with corresponding ones of said upper portions and each of said lower portions folded laterally inward toward one another.
