Patent ID: 7410179

Claim:
A device in a wheeled walker or rollator, comprising at least one frame member ( 2 ) having a lower end ( 3 ), at least one handle support rod ( 4 ) having an upper end ( 5 ), a brake-control means ( 6 ) arranged essentially at the upper end ( 5 ) of the handle support rod, said brake-control means ( 6 ) being movable between a neutral position and a brake-application position, a wheel ( 7 ) located essentially at the lower end ( 3 ) of the frame member, the distance between said wheel ( 7 ) and the brake-control means ( 6 ) being changeable, a brake element ( 8 ) located adjacent the wheel ( 7 ), an upper force-transmission member ( 9 ) connected to said brake-control means ( 6 ), a lower force-transmission member ( 10 ) connected to said brake element ( 8 ), and a coupling means ( 11 ) for coupling-together said upper and said lower force-transmission members ( 9 , 10 ), characterised in that the upper force-transmission member ( 9 ) and the lower force-transmission member ( 10 ) are arranged to move freely relative to one another, when the brake-control means ( 6 ) assumes its neutral position and that the upper force-transmission member ( 9 ) and the lower force-transmission member ( 10 ) are arranged to be interconnected by means of said coupling means ( 11 ), when the brake-control means ( 6 ) leaves the neutral position, in response to which braking force is transferred to the brake element ( 8 ).
