DEVICE FOR THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE

A device for the movement of people who drive carriage means (S), for instance consisting of a wheelchairs comprising at least one front wheel (2) and a plurality of rear wheels (4) in a use condition (U) of said carriage means (S) without the device or without part of it, the points of the respective front (2) and rear (4) wheels resting on the floor (T) define a resting geometrical plane (P). Said device (1) comprises: at least a first connection (5) fixed to the rear portion of a carriage means (S) by means of a set of fixing members (7) and having a respective coupling geometrical axis (C) tilted upwards by an angle (A) of at least 2° with respect to said resting geometrical plane (P); a thrust portion (11) provided with at least a second connection (13), fixed to a frame or body of the thrust portion (11), and to which is connected the hub of at least one powered wheel (15) with a platform (17) for supporting the person driving the carriage means (S) and the device; a steering articulated joint (21) of the first (5) or of the second (13) connections or of a portion of the frame or body of the thrust portion (11); in an operative condition (O) in which the first (5) and second (13) connections are mutually connected, the first (5) and second (13) connections and the frame or body keep the at least one powered wheel (15) spaced from the resting geometrical plane (P); the weight of the device (1) and/or of the driver rises the set of front wheels (2) of the carriage means (S) detaching them from the floor. L'invention concerne un dispositif de déplacement de personnes qui entraînent un moyen de transport (S), consistant par exemple en un fauteuil roulant comprenant au moins une roue avant (2) et une pluralité de roues arrière (4) dans une condition d'utilisation (U) dudit moyen de transport (S) sans le dispositif ou sans partie de celui-ci, les points des roues avant (2) et arrière (4) respectives reposant sur le sol (T) définissent un plan géométrique de repos (P). Ledit dispositif (1) comprend : au moins une première connexion (5) fixée à la partie arrière d'un moyen de transport (S) au moyen d'un ensemble d'éléments de fixation (7) et ayant un axe géométrique de couplage respectif (C) incliné vers le haut par un angle (A) d'au moins 2° par rapport audit plan géométrique de repos (P) ; une partie de poussée (11) pourvue d'au moins une seconde connexion (13), fixée à un cadre ou à un corps de la partie de poussée (11), et à laquelle est connecté le moye
