ABSTRACT:
A new and improved collapsable, combination chair/walker for aiding elderly and/or disabled people in independent movement includes an upstanding foldable, or collapsable frame including a front rail, a pair of opposite side rails and a back, and the frame supports a removable seat at an intermediate level for a person to sit within the frame. An open space is provided forwardly of the seat for accomodating the legs of an occupant in both a standing/walking position and/or a seated position. The open space is defined between the front rail and a forward edge of the seat and a flexible detachable safety strap extends into the open space between the seat and front rail for preventing an occupant from sliding out of the seat onto the floor or falling to the floor from a walking or standing position. Rollers or casters are provided for easy movement of the chair/walker and brakes are provided on at least some of the rollers to immobilize the chair/walker when desired. The front rail is movable between a closed and locked position for normal operation of the chair/walker and an open position for permitting a person easy ingress to the interior of the frame and easy egress from the chair/walker when desired. When the seat is detached from the frame and the back and front rail are opened, opposite sides of the frame structure are then permitted to be moved toward one another for collapsing the chair/walker for storage and/or shipment. When the frame is folded up or collapsed, as described, the chair/walker is small and compact in size ready for transport in an automobile and is ready for shipment or storage.
