Claim 0:
1. A rollable user-support device configured to be rollable on a ground surface, the rollable user-support device comprising:
a rigid frame having a pair of first legs and a pair of second legs, each of the first legs having a first leg distal end and at least one first wheel attached thereto so as to be rollable and swivelable; each of the second legs having a rear leg distal end with at least one second wheel attached thereto so as to be rollable and swivelable;
a seat operably connected to the frame and positionable in a lower rearward seating position; in an elevated forward seating position and in a folded position;
a seat folding mechanism operable to manipulate the seat between the folded position and an unfolded position being elevated forward seating position, the seat in the folded position being oriented transversely to a plane defined thereby in the lower rearward seating position;
a seat manipulation mechanism operable to move the seat, with a user seated thereon, between the lower rearward seating position and the elevated forward seating position;
at least one roll prevention mechanism activatable at least indirectly by the seat manipulation mechanism and operable to prevent the first wheels from rolling on the ground surface when the seat is brought into its elevated forward seating position;
at least one first swivel prevention mechanism activatable at least indirectly by the seat manipulation mechanism and operable to prevent swiveling of the first wheels, at least after their rolling is prevented in the seat's elevated forward position, and at least one second swivel prevention mechanism activatable by the seat folding mechanism and operable to prevent the first wheels from swiveling when the seat is brought into its folded position;
the rollable user-support device being a bi-directional rollable user-support device operable in the following three modes:
a neutral mode, in which the seat is in the elevated frontward position and the first wheels are prevented from rolling and swiveling;
a first, chair mode in which the seat is in the lower rearward position and the first wheels are allowed to roll and swivel thus constituting chair front wheels enabling the device to be rolled in a first direction with a user accommodated on the seat and facing in the first direction; and
a second, rollator mode in which the seat is in the folded position and the first wheels are prevented from swiveling whilst the second wheels constitute rollator front wheels enabling the device to be rolled in a second direction opposite the first direction with a standing user facing in the second direction.
