AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patented device solves problems associated with previous devices such as fixed-height walks for people who are too tall to use them comfortably when walking upstairs without getting stuck down stalls due to gravity issues caused by taller individuals' legs being heavier than average person. It also provides a comfortable solution where multiple wheelchair movements allow usability during various stages of our activity. Additionally it has arms attached to its back allowing for easy movement around inside furniture like tables. Overall this innovation improves safety and convenience for elderly peoples living outdoors.

Problems solved by technology

In this patented problem addressed by the technical solution described in the patents, there are two main challenging aspects: Firstly, users have difficulty reaching for their own handholdings when they want them up during long walks without having to constantly shift hands from one part to another; secondly, conventional walkers cannot provide enough strength to handle heavier loads such as bags filled with weights at once.

Frame 110 can have one or more front legs 112, rear supports 114, a backrest 116, and one or more support bars 118 that can extend between the front legs 112 and can add structural rigidity to the walker 100. The seat 130 can have side rails 132 that can support a seating platform 134. The seat 130 is shown in a stowed position in FIG. 1. Side rails 132 can have grooves 136 that can engage with and slide along seat support pegs 120 on the frame 110. Side rails 132 can have a clip end region 138 that can engage with clips to retain the seat 130 in the stowed position as shown in FIG. 1, or the seating position, described more fully below. The frame can have stowage clips 122 that can retain the seat in the stowed position so that it is out of the way as a user walks with the walker. The frame can have seating clips 124 tha
