| 20100313923 | MULTI-CONFIGURATION WALKING APPARATUS - A multifunctional mobility device which enables or assists a person to walk without assistance from another person. The device provides a practical solution to address the various levels of mobility assistance between the minimal support of a cane and the maximum support of a four-legged walker. The multiple functions of the device are enabled by changing width and height, and include a one-legged, two-handed walker; a two-legged, two-handed walker; a hemi-walker; a stair-climbing aide; a standard or bariatric cane; and a device providing assistance from the sitting to standing position. The device may employ a jointed handle of sufficient width to accommodate both hands, and two legs connected to the handle that move inward or outward in unison, using the jointed handle and a compound, articulating mechanism connecting the two legs. | 12-16-2010 |
