Abstract:
1. An adapter for use with a walker having four tubular legs extending downward from one or more hand rails configured to partially surround a user and to provide support for the user while walking in an upright position, said four legs each having distal ends with one or more detent holes located proximal thereto, said adapter comprising: a substantially rectangular-shaped elongated member having a first end, a second end and two sides; at least one frame that extends up from each side a predetermined distance; said at least one frame being perpendicular to said elongated member; a first tubular post located proximate to the first end of the elongated member and attached to the at least one frame; a second tubular post located proximate to the second end of the elongated member and attached to the at least one frame; said posts being separated by a distance substantially equal to a distance between two of the four legs of the walker; and said first post and second post both being in fixed positions in relation to the elongated member and to the legs to which the first post and second post, respectively, are attached when the adapter is attached to the walker, thereby not allowing for any movement between the adapter and the walker.
