Abstract:
Disclosed is a rollator that comprises a supporting frame with a user gripping portion and plural rolling wheels, the frame being foldable over a range of travel between a fully open operating position and a fully closed storage position, and a stand assembly connected to an element of the frame and configured to support the rollator when the rollator is in the fully closed storage position. The stand assembly comprises a stand and a bracket, the stand being pivotable with respect to the bracket and movable over a range of travel between a stowed position and a support position. The stand is equipped with a cam mechanism that includes a cam surface and a sprung follower that engages the cam surface for indexing of the stand in the stowed position or the support position.

Claim (Index 8):
A method of using a rollator comprising:\n folding a supporting frame over a range of travel between a fully open operating position to a fully closed storage position; pivoting a stand coupled to the frame with respect to a bracket coupled to the frame over a range of travel between a stowed position and a support position an angle relative to a frame surface of said supporting frame; moving a cam across a sprung follower during said pivoting from a stowage region of said cam, through an intermediate region of said cam, and to a supporting region of said cam, wherein said sprung follower is more compressed as said cam is moved across said sprung follower through said intermediate region, thereby indexing said stand in one of said supporting and stowed positions.
