To do this, take out the basket and pull up on the crossbar, which exposes two release mechanisms on each side of the frame. Press these release mechanisms while pushing the sides of the frame together until the walking aid expands to a smaller size.
The locking assembly attaches to a top, substantially horizontal support arm 218 joining two vertically oriented tubular legs in the rear and front 220 and 228, respectively. Telescoping tubular leg extension 226 and 228 are respectively releasably attached to the ends of the front and rear tubular legs. Telescoping extensions are able to be turned between an unlocked and locked position to alter the height of the rolling aid.
Once the extension leg segments are placed in the correct place, a nonsliding handle is positioned at the lever's end. The actuating lever is attached to the housing by way of an extension portion that extends out from the frame. It also has an recessed piece that is sized to accommodate the extension piece. The extension piece and recessed portion provide an axis around which the actuating handle can be moved.
When the telescoping legs segments are in the correct position, the locking mechanism engages a snap button and biasing spring. This arrangement allows the user to easily engage and detach the folding mechanism for easy storage and transportation of the walking aid.
The Locking Mechanism
The present invention relates to a locking mechanism to be used with a foldable rollator or walker. The invention addresses a need to have a lock assembly designed for use with such walkers and rollators that is easy to configure between unfolded and folded positions by persons who may have limited dexterity.
In general, the device consists of a pair spaced side frames that have the cross brace that connects them. It also includes two handles. Two hand brakes are mounted to the handles and each includes a plunger that is pin-actuated which is able to engage with the plunger of a cross bar. When the user presses on the hand brakes, the pin actuating spout opens which causes the side frame to turn into a folded position.
This type of device comes with a problem in that the actuating handle has to be held in one hand, while trying to press the pin-actuating plunger. This could be a challenge for people who have weak or limited dexterity in their hand. The present invention addresses this issue by providing an assembly for locking that is operatively coupled with the lever that actuates.
