Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The field to which the disclosure generally relates includes the redirecting of a user's field of view.

BACKGROUND

Stationary devices, walkers, bicycles, or other mobility devices may assist a user in standing, sitting, walking, performing daily activities, or the like. Mobility devices often do not account for assistance needs relating to seeing, hearing, or other sensory related needs as well as needs associated with assisting the musculoskeletal system of a user. A need exists for products at the intersection between user sensory needs and musculoskeletal system assistance. For example, stooped or hunchbacked wheelchair or walker users may have difficulty seeing directly in front of themselves if their posture makes it difficult to lift their head and see forward. Some of the prior solutions to this problem attempt to assist in correcting the posture of the user. These solutions fail to meet the needs of the industry because it can be difficult, very painful, or impossible for a user to raise their head to see very far in front of themselves.

As a non-limiting example, it is desirable to have a device for stooped or hunchbacked users that provides a robust field of view in front of themselves while using mobility devices. It is desirable to have a device that allows the user to adjust their field of view to suit their specific needs. It is desirable to have a device that is easy to use and dependable, especially for the elderly and handicapped persons who depend upon a clear view of their environment to prevent falls and injuries. It is contemplated that a view redirecting system may also have applications on various devices and fixtures, such as on bicycles, to allow the user or rider to see forward when leaning over. The disclosed device advantageously fills these needs and addresses the aforementioned deficiencies by providing an adjustable robust view in front of users such that they can then confidently navigate as needed.

A number of variations may include a product such as a view redirecting system that may include a first reflective surface approximately opposite a second reflective surface by way of at least one structure, both reflective surfaces facing each other at an angle of about ninety degrees or less and both reflective surfaces typically of approximately the same size. The angle at which the reflective surfaces interact and redirect the field of view of a user is adjustable. The second of the reflective surface's structures may be hard mounted to a walker or other mobility device with a mounting bracket or mounting device. Alternatively, the view redirecting system may be supported by a single, continuous structure. This structure may be mountable to a walker or other mobility device. The view redirecting system may be constructed and arranged to allow a user who is looking down or towards the ground to redirect their view forward towards the horizon by way of at least one reflective surface. The reflective surface angle is chosen to allow the viewer to see the most complete view looking forward when mounted on the walker or other mobility device. The second of the reflective surface structure attaches to the medical walker or other mobility device via a clamp or other mounting device. The positioning of the mounting angle on the walker or other mobility device is chosen to optimize the view for the user. The view redirecting system can also be attached to a stationary device.

The device may also include hinged joints on both the first reflective surface and the second reflective surface allowing each reflective surface to be pivotable relative to the other reflective surface. The view redirecting system may include hinge extension linkages to extend the pivot points away from the adjacent reflective surface or mounting bracket pivot points. The view redirecting system may include locking or non-locking adjustable hinges on each pivot point to allow for adjusting the position of each individual reflective surface and the mounting bracket. The first and second reflective surfaces can be either a flat, concave, or convex reflective surface. The view redirecting system may also utilize extension linkages and locking knobs as described above to allow for adjustment of the second reflective surface relative to the second mounting bracket.
