CA 2399787
The present invention provides a curb-climbing wheelchair having pivotal arm assemblies. The pivotal arm assemblies include at least one front caster and have the ability to rotate or pivot. The pivot arms rotate or pivot in response to moments generated by accelerating or decelerating the wheelchair thereby raising or lowering the front caster(s) through the rotational movement of the pivot arms. By raising or lowering the front caster(s) in such a manner, curb-like obstacles can be traversed in a low-impact manner.
L'invention concerne une chaise roulante pouvant rouler sur des obstacles courbes dotée d'assemblages de bras pivotant. Les assemblages de bras pivotant comprennent au moins une roulette avant et peuvent tourner ou pivoter. Les bras pivotants tournent ou pivotent par réaction à des moments générés en accélérant ou en décélérant la chaise roulante élevant ou abaissant ainsi les roulettes avant grâce au mouvement rotatif des bras pivotants. En élevant ou en abaissant les roulettes de cette manière, des obstacles de type courbe peuvent être surmontés sans provoquer de fort impact.
