ABSTRACT:
A folding walker includes a pair of side frames each of which includes front and rear legs spaced from each other and held together by upper and lower connecting members. At least one lateral cross bar connects the front legs of the side frames, and the connections between the cross bar and the side frames is pivotable to permit the side frames to be pivoted from open positions in which the side frames are substantially perpendicular to the lateral brace and collapsed positions in which the side frames are substantially parallel to the cross bar. Latches hold the side frames in the open positions or in an intermediate position, between the open and collapsed positions, in which the side frames are at an acute angle to the cross bar so that the side frames and the cross bar form a generally triangular configuration to facilitate use of the walker on stairs.
