Abstract
The invention concerns a device in wheeled walker or rollator, comprising a frame member () having a lower end (), a handle support rod () having an upper end (), a brake-control means () arranged at the upper end () of the handle support rod, said brake-control means () being movable between a neutral position and a brake-application position. The rollator comprises a wheel () located at the lower end () of the frame member, the distance between said wheel () and the brake-control means () being changeable, a brake element () located adjacent the wheel (), an upper force-transmission member () connected to said brake-control means (), a lower force-transmission member () connected to said brake element (), and a coupling means () for coupling-together said upper and said lower force-transmission members (). The upper force-transmission member () and the lower force-transmission member () are arranged to move freely relative to one another, when the brake-control means () assumes its neutral position and. The upper force-transmission member () and the lower force-transmission member () are arranged to be interconnected by means of said coupling means (), when the brake-control means () leaves the neutral position, in response to which braking force is transferred to the brake element ().
