CA 2605609

An improved electronic braking system for walkers that incorporates one or more electrically-operated brakes controlled by an electronic controller is disclosed. The controller is responsive to touch-sensitive switches for easy operation, and is adjustable and responsive to operator patterns of use to provide individualized control of the brake operation. The controller may also be responsive to environmental conditions such as the slope of the ground over which the walker is moving, to its rate of motion, or to the distance between the walker frame and the user, and may be adjusted to accommodate for the weight of the user or to set limits to the speed at which it can move.

La présente invention concerne un système de freinage électronique amélioré pour les déambulateurs, muni d'un ou de plusieurs freins électroniques contrôlés par un régulateur électronique. Les interrupteurs du régulateur sont réceptifs au toucher pour faciliter les manouvres. Le régulateur est ajustable et respecte les modèles d'utilisation familiers aux utilisateurs, offrant ainsi un contrôle personnalisé des manouvres de freinage. En outre, le régulateur peut répondre aux conditions environnementales, telles que la pente du sol sur lequel se déplace le déambulateur, le rythme des mouvements ou encore la distance entre le déambulateur et son utilisateur. On peut également l'adapter selon le poids de l'utilisateur et régler la vitesse de déplacement.
