Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to a transforming seat with a lifting mechanism and a vehicle with a transforming seat.
- a number of chairs for vehicles and more specifically for wheelchairs have been developed to lift the user from a sitting position to an eye level position of a standing person.
- Wheelchairs with an automatic standing aid which can lift and tilt the user into a standing position and also lower the user back into a sitting position are often referred to as stand-up wheelchairs, examples of such devices are described in US5346280A and US6773032B2.
- One disadvantage of the stand-up wheelchairs is a significant user’s weight transfer in to the lower limbs when the wheelchair is in standing position, the use of such device is complicated for paraplegics and the users who do not have legs.
- Another disadvantage of the known chairs with lifting and tilting aid is the lack of stability of the user, when the user is in standing position partially supported from the back.
- One more disadvantage of the stand-up wheelchairs is a complicated management of the centre of gravity, in some cases, management of the centre of gravity is significant, particularly in balancing personal vehicles, wheelchairs stand-up function generally require an additional mechanism to keep the centre of gravity stable in vertical axis.
- the wheelchairs with an automatic lifting function which can lift the user in a sitting position up and lower down are often referred to as lifting wheelchairs, examples of such devices are described in US20190192362A1, EP3082706B1 and US5209322A.
- One disadvantage of the lifting wheelchairs is an unnaturally looking high sitting position when the wheelchair is in a lifted position.
- Another disadvantage of the lifting wheelchair is a significant space requirement in a lifted position.
- An object of the present invention is a vehicle with a transforming seat which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art devices described above, and which is configured to transform from a sitting position, where the rider is sitting on a relatively flat seat surface like sitting on a chair, to a riding position, where the rider is sitting on a saddle type seat like sitting on a horse or on a bicycle.
- the vehicle of the present invention comprises: - a transforming seat configured to support the rider; a base platform configured to support the load including the transforming seat; a locomotion device coupled to the base platform and arranged to propel the vehicle.
- the transforming seat comprises: - a saddle type seat configured to support the rider's pelvis; thigh rests configured to support the rider's thighs; a leg rests mechanism configured to support the rider's feet; a lifting mechanism configured to support the saddle type seat and perform seat transforming as well as lifting and lowering operations.
- the transforming seat of the present invention is configured to transform from a first sitting position, where the saddle type seat and thigh rests form a relatively flat and relatively horizontal surface and leg rests are positioned in front of the seat, while the rider's knees and hip joints are bent at approximately 90 degrees, to a second riding position, where the saddle type seat is lifted relatively vertically remaining in a relatively horizontal state, while the thigh rests are inclined downwards in a relation to the saddle type seat, and the leg rests are shifted upwards and backwards and swivelled about an axis approximately perpendicular to the sagittal plane in order to provide the rider with a natural riding posture.
- the support of the rider's pelvis remains constant, and since there is no tilt of the saddle type seat, no knee supports or additional rider’s body or lower legs immobilization is required. Additionally, when the rider is in a riding position the stability of the rider is increased compared to sitting on a flat seat because of the spatial support of pelvis and thighs.
- the thigh rests of the transforming seat are pivotally connected to the saddle type seat in such a manner that allows the thigh rests to pivot from the first relatively horizontal position, where the saddle type seat and the thigh rests form a relatively flat surface, to the second position, where the thigh rests are inclined downwards in a relation to the saddle type seat.
- Pivoting of the thigh rests can be carried out by actuators or by the system of levers and links, which is operatively connected between said thigh rests and the lifting mechanism.
- Angle between the saddle type seat and the thigh rests may be adjustable in order to suit the desired angles of the rider's thighs.
- the lifting mechanism of the present invention coupled between a base platform and the saddle type seat, is configured to lift the rider sitting on the saddle type seat to the eye level of a standing person, maintaining parallel and linear, relatively vertical nature of the motion of the saddle type seat, keeping the rider's torso generally upright during lifting and lowering operations and also maintaining relatively linear vertical movement of the rider's centre of gravity.
- the lifting mechanism is designed as a double parallelogram lifting mechanism, including: a support frame coupled to the base platform, a lower riser, a floating frame, an upper riser and a lifting platform, wherein the lower riser is provided as parallelogram linkage, having at least one main link and at least one support link pivotally connected between the support frame and the floating frame, and an upper riser provided as parallelogram linkage, having at least one main link and at least one support link pivotally connected between the floating frame and the lifting platform, which is configured to carry a payload and to which the saddle type seat is coupled.
- the double riser lifting mechanism further includes a synchronization mechanism that is constructed and arranged to maintain angles of the adjacent upper and lower risers, during the lifting and lowering operations of the lifting mechanism.
- the synchronization mechanism is preferably mounted in the floating frame.

- the leg rests are pivotally connected to the floating frame of the lifting mechanism, where pivot axis is approximately perpendicular to the sagittal plane, and swivel angle of the leg rests is controlled by linkage pivotally connected between said leg rests and a lever, which is rigidly connected to the toothed lever of the synchronization mechanism forming a bellcrank.
- Position and pivoting angle of the leg rests may be adjustable in order to suit the desired angles of the rider's lower legs.
