ABSTRACT:
A foldable walker that includes a single latch operator connected with each of left and right latches for the walker's left and right side frames, the left and right latches functioning to latch the left and right side frames open in the use position. Use of the single operator by only one of the user's hands allows both the left and right latches to unlatch the side frames from their open or use position, thereby allowing both those side frames to pivot closed into a collapsed or storage position against the front frame. In preferred form, the left and right latches also function to latch the left and right side frames closed in the storage position. In that preferred form, use of the single operator again by only one of the user's hands allows both the left and right latches to unlatch the side frames from their storage position, thereby allowing both the left and right side frames to pivot back open into the use position relative to the front frame.
