PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an indoor-outdoor dual purpose wheelchair which is easily disassembled and combined for outdoor use and indoor use while mounting a patient.SOLUTION: By disassembling a wheelchair used outdoors, only width of the wheelchair and a total length remain to simply be defined by a seat part, so that it is used in a narrow corridor indoors and in a room. Moreover, the wheelchair directly enters a toilet and a shower room and, by removing a seat cushion, allows the patient to stop in a position to attain his/her purposes. By gripping and rotating a hand-operated knob 5, self-propelling forward and backward can be performed. Since casters 6 used also as front wheels of a wheelchair used outdoors are used at the same time, turning right and turning left are performed by operating the knob. A footrest 14 dedicated for a self-propelled wagon where feet are rested is provided, and an existing brake is used.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】患者を乗せたままで屋外用と室内用に容易に分解と合体できる屋内外兼用車椅子を提供する。【解決手段】屋外用車椅子を分解することで、車椅子の幅や全長のサイズを座席部分だけにシンプルにして屋内の狭い廊下でも、室内でも使用できる。更にトイレやシャワー室にも直接入室ができ、座席のクッションを取り除くことで、そのまま定位置に停車して目的の用が達せられる。手回しノブ5を握って回すことで前進と後進の自走もできる。屋外用車椅子の前輪兼用キャスター6を併用するので、ノブ操作で右折や左折もできる。足の置ける自走ワゴン専用の足掛け14も設けてブレーキは既存のものを利用する。【選択図】図10
