Joseph Francis Schrader - New Hartford NY, US

International Classification:

A45B003/00
A47C001/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

A bicycle seat supported generally by a tubular V-shaped configuration with an offset seat post to allow for padded leg cradle supports, padded handles and adjusting handle grip bars. The bottom of the ergonomically designed offset walker frame has an adjustable rubber tip for height adjustment. The seat is on a fixed top post. The position can be adjusted up and down in height, forward and back and front to back. Using the handle grips the user can straddle the bicycle seat and rest the injured limb on the leg cradle supports without having to strap the injured limb to the walker frame. The walker frame has been ergonomically designed for balance. The tubular construction is comprised of a number of offsetting bends and spacers, which offset the leg cradle to the proper distance for comfort and balance. The padded handles are forward of the seat with rotating handle grip bars on the ends of the padded handles which gives the user more comfort and better control when using the walker frame making it possible to maintain better balance. The hands and wrists keep the frame in a vertical position and maintain control over the stabilization foot for better balance.

International Classification:

A61H 3/00

US Classification:

29719511, 2971834, 135 66

Abstract:

An ergonomically designed ambulatory walking device comprised of a bicycle seat supported by an offset seat post that can be used for both right and left injuries. Different handlebar configurations can move the user's hands any number of different positions laterally to the right or left, higher and lower in relationship to the seat and closer and farther from the pelvis. Different frame sizes and height and seat to hand spread make it possible to fine tune a person's balance by selecting standardized parts. The dispensing method allows for verification of doctor's orders and the procedure for selecting parts by a trained individual allows for proper body positioning of the user. The new and simplified frame design, along with its various components and stabilizers, help persons needing more assistance. The method for adjusting and dispensing these devices uses computer software and the Internet or a fax machine, making it possible to deliver the correct walker to an individual virtually anywhere in the world.

Appl. No.:

8/288783

Inventors:

Joseph F. Schrader - New Hartford NY

International Classification:

A61H 302

US Classification:

135 72

Abstract:

A planar seat support of generally V-shaped configuration is pivoted at an apex end to a side of an upstanding support post and includes a narrow width handle section to the front and above a planar seat, which is pivotably mounted to the upper edge of an opposite side seat support section of the seat support. The seat is mounted for limited pivoting with respect to the seat support to facilitate strapping of the walker to the thigh and leg of an afflicted limb of the user with the user in sitting position. A second handle section is integral with the post and extends upwardly therefrom to the side of the seat support, and the first and second handle sections terminate in oppositely directed tubular handles. Grasping of the handle carried by the support post after strapping of the walker to the user's thigh and leg permits the user to easily raise himself to an upright standing position while remaining seated on the seat. The seat support locks in the position with the seat generally horizontal and overlying the upstanding post.
