Publication number: 20250099308Abstract: To facilitate unfolding of a wheelchair outside a vehicle by a simple one-handed operation even in a seated state on a driver's seat of the vehicle, a wheelchair includes an upper support arm and a lower support arm, each of which couples a left side frame and a right side frame and is folded in an up-down direction in a central portion thereof in a left-right direction. A tensioning member having a flexibility is coupled to the upper support arm and the lower support arm; and a grip section is attached to the tensioning member. The upper support arm and the lower support arm, when each of which is in a folded state, are urged in an unfolding direction by a predetermined tensile force input to the tensioning member.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Takashi IWASE, Noboru KATO

Publication number: 20250099309Abstract: A folding wheelchair which prevents unexpected unfolding includes an upper support arm and a lower support arm coupling a left side frame and a right side frame foldable in an up-down direction in central portions thereof in a left-right direction. An engaged section is provided in at least one of the upper support arm and the lower support arm. An engagement section engages the engaged section to prevent relative displacement in the up-down direction of the central portions of the upper support arm and the lower support arm in the left-right direction. An operation section switches operation of the engagement section from an engagement state with the engaged section to an unengaged state.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2024Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: MAZDA MOTOR CORPORATIONInventors: Takashi IWASE, Isao TODA, Sho Chang LEE
