Seated walker

Abstract

A rehabilitation mechanism or seated walker includes a supporting base having a seat member, a frame member is mounted on the supporting base and includes two protrusions each having a pivot shaft, two foot supports each include an upper portion pivotally engaged onto the pivot shaft and pivotal relative to the supporting base, and an extension slidably attached to each foot support, and the extensions each include a foot pedal for being stepped by the user to rotate the foot support relative to the supporting base and to move the extension away from the foot support. The foot supports each include two flaps having an aperture for engaging with the pivot shaft and for pivotally attaching the foot support to the pivot shaft.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A seated walker comprising:
 a supporting base including a seat member provided thereon for supporting a user thereon, and including a frame member mounted on said supporting base, and said frame member including two protrusions extended therefrom and including a pivot shaft extended from each of said protrusions,   two foot supports each including an upper portion pivotally engaged onto said pivot shaft and pivotal relative to said pivot shaft and said supporting base, and   an extension slidably attached to each of said foot support, and said extension including a foot pedal for being stepped to rotate said foot support relative to said supporting base and to move said extension away from said foot support.   
     
     
         2 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said foot supports each include two flaps extended from said upper portion of said foot support and having an aperture formed in said flaps for engaging with said pivot shaft and for pivotally attaching said upper portion of said foot support to said pivot shaft. 
     
     
         3 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said foot supports each includes a space formed between said flaps, and two hand grips each include a block engaged in said space that is formed between said flaps of said foot support, and said blocks each include an orifice formed therein for receiving and engaging with said pivot shaft and for allowing said hand grips to be rotated relative to said protrusions of said frame member respectively. 
     
     
         4 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said foot supports each include a lock member attached to said pivot shaft and engaged with said block for locking said hand grip to said foot support. 
     
     
         5 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said blocks of said hand grips each include a first hole and at least one second hole formed therein, and said lock members each include a latch pin extended therefrom and engageable with either said first or said at least one second hole of said block for adjustably securing said hand grip to said foot support at different angular position. 
     
     
         6 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said supporting base includes a spring biasing member attached to each of said foot supports for applying a spring biasing force to resist a pivotal movement of said foot support relative to said supporting base. 
     
     
         7 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said foot supports each include a spring biasing member coupled between said foot support and said extension for applying a spring biasing force to resist a sliding movement of said extension relative to said foot support. 
     
     
         8 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said supporting base includes a handle member for being held by a user. 
     
     
         9 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said handle member includes an intermediate portion attached to said supporting base with a flexible member. 
     
     
         10 . The seated walker as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein said handle member includes two arms, and two hand grip elements attached to said arms respectively.
